I'm not sure why iD has been creating these. At one point it even made a zero-node way that prevented me from submitting a changeset. I have been splitting and combining a lot of ways, including some of which are part of multipolygons. A bug report may be an order if I can work out how this occurred.

discouraged, although the tag is controversial since it is subjective. I don't think you need to tag the road at all.

Is there a sign explicitly forbidding bicycles and pedestrians on this road?

Hi bwheeler65, a few tips and questions:

The website tag should only be used for a site directly relating to the feature. If there is a distinct page for each building, then use that, otherwise the tag should be left off.
Ditto for the phone number. If calling that number doesn't lead directly to someone at the particular building, it should not be included. If it is indeed correct, then the phone number should also include the country code, delineated with a hyphen. (+1-208-387-6195)

The name is pretty verbose. Consider renaming to "Traffic Operations Building #" and adding operator=Ada County Highway District and operator:wikidata=Q4678237.

Finally, are you certain the street is East Franklin Road? The county assessor reports the address as West Franklin Road. East Franklin Road would suggest that the facility is in Meridian, which does not correspond to the city limits. https://apps.adacounty.id.gov/PropertyLookup/PropertyDetails?parcel=S1109438975&year=2025

Thanks!

About 80 left, almost all in Northeast Meridian.

Names are not abbreviated on OSM, so "Assn" should be spelled out as "Association". (I think "Ass" triggered some sort of filter.)

I am quite certain that all of their comments posted after your own comment were written with ChatGPT, though I appreciate that may not be obvious to you or others.

I don't think it is uncivil to be frustrated by my advice being ignored until backed by an authority. I do think it uncivil, though, to completely ignore my frustration in favor of chiding me about communication and offering unsolicited advice about being a better mapper. With that being said, you are right that continuing is most likely unhelpful, so I'll quiet down.

There is irony in bemoaning the lack of collaboration and communication when you rely on AI to communicate for you. ChatGPT does not understand language, so it can't actually tell whether a comment is hostile. As a result, it just quoted three random sentences from my comment. It is not hostile to tell someone they have disrespected you.

The fact that your comment does not address any of my concerns means that your prompt is essentially just to accuse me of hostility. Designing an algorithm to do that for you is definitely harassment.

I would prefer to speak to a human over ChatGPT. The latter is known for confabulating. For instance, I cannot find any combative comments from b-jazz. As for me, I am sorry that I was not more receptive to being told I was wrong even though I turned out to be right. I am additionally sorry for lumping you in with other golf course mappers making incorrect edits when all you did was make incorrect golf course edits. I am also sorry for not displaying good faith in response to your lack of faith in the advice we both gave you.

And as for the human who, unlike ChatGPT, can detect insincerity in these apologies: You did not display a willingness to learn when you refused advice from mappers with years of experience. You were not singled out to any extent greater than that you are singly responsible for your edits. All accusatory comments on your changesets appear to be factual. You were not gatekept from the platform in anyway other than to indicate that incorrect edits would be reverted. Collaboration is a two-way street that you have metaphorically set up a road block on with your comments. You were offered many chances at discussion, but refused them. This is a common theme amongst golf course mappers, who I proceeded to lump you in with. I am sorry that I was hostile to you, but that is a natural response when one's community is disrespected.

Furthermore, it is disrespectful to me and to b-jazz to completely ignore what we tell you only to suddenly act understanding when a moderator reiterates them. Tone is not the only way to show respect.

Go right ahead. I doubt you'll enjoy being told by an admin everything both of us have told you already. Your reasoning does not pass muster. Vandals are frequently banned and their changes are reverted, even though entering the name of their middle school as "poop" is something they wish.

Your constant threats to report and accusations of harassment could constitute harassment themselves.

Down to 247, mostly in Northeast Meridian and the West Bench.

I had no idea there were so many apartment complexes in Ada County. They're definitely working to slow me down. There are 540 mapped, at least a hundred to go, and I'm sure even after I add names to everything I'll have missed several dozen.

I invite you to report b-jazz. I can nearly guarantee you will be blocked instead. Your definition of harassing is not going to be received by admins. Users are entitled to comment on any edits, especially if the edits have issues that need to be addressed. It is certainly not picking on a user to point out objective issues with their edits.

It is never acceptable to test in prod. Find a way to test using actual data if the dev server isn't an option.

It seems you are willfully misunderstanding what that sentence means. It means that ability to edit is not restricted by default. It does not mean OSM is your playground.

Haven't really figured out what to do with apartment complexes consisting of a single building. I have been putting the address only on the building but the complex information (website, name, etc.) on the landuse. Seems like a good case for a relation, but without a formal proposal I can't decide on a way to do it.
With that being said, the number is down to 350.

About 500 unnamed landuse=residential left to work on

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/21Zu

Nearly 600 residential areas remain. I am adding names if available, otherwise tagging as noname=yes. If a different name happens to be signposted, it should be used instead, with the subdivision name relegated to alt_name.
