| 175750132 | 9 days ago | This is a shared driveway, not a residential road. The houses are addressed off Wright. I have corrected the classification. |
| 170372563 | 4 months ago | I have seen the house in person. I understand that the business is registered here and the address is on the website, but there is no office open to the public. It is not a kind of listing suited to OSM. I get it if you don't want to touch this issue since it can be tricky to figure out sometimes. I will delete it at some point. |
| 170372563 | 4 months ago | This is SEO spam. The address is a single-family home with no signage, clearly not open to the public. |
| 170047660 | 5 months ago | By that measure there is no website for the feature. |
| 170047660 | 5 months ago | Website should be https://shopridleys.com/home.php?&sn=Jerome%20Grocery%20Store%20%26%20Pharmacy&i=8443 |
| 169795423 | 5 months ago | A parcel has been created for the eastern portion of the island. "Sawmill Island" is referenced in the legal description. |
| 169347916 | 5 months ago | Huh, what do you know. Saw a listing for it. Guess it was just in disrepair. It was a law office until a decade or so ago. It looked abandoned when I last walked by circa 2020. Thanks for updating! |
| 169144205 | 5 months ago | Yes, I fixed the complex. iD slows down after a few hundred edits in one session because it keeps track of the edit history for undo and redo. Slowdown due to loading in a lot of detail in one area is a separate issue. The nodes are, as you say, like corners on the buildings. The buildings in and around Melba you were looking at were detected using computer vision (a kind of AI). I added them a few years back because they were better than nothing. I have improved many of them, but I haven't done much mapping in Melba so some of them are pretty poor. If I were mapping them today, I would have been much more selective with which ones were acceptable. |
| 169144205 | 5 months ago | In this changeset, you modified the way representing Palisades Apartments to connect directly to the adjacent sidewalk. This means that if you add or remove nodes from the sidewalk, it changes the apartments too, and vice versa. Before this edit, the way representing the apartment complex had 8 nodes, and now it has 17. If a user downloads the new version of the data it will be almost twice the size. What I mean by topologically incorrect is that the sidewalk way is supposed to represent the middle of the concrete area, and the apartment complex goes to the edge of the concrete. If they touch, it implies that half of the sidewalk is part of the complex. Also, if a crosswalk were built, and you added a node to the sidewalk to accommodate it, then you would end up adding it to the apartment complex as well. If you are not already, you should disable most of the map features while editing, using the Map Data tab. Only edit the ones you want to touch. It is common for new mappers to accidentally touch features they did not want to edit, and it can be overwhelming and slow down the browser if a place is mapped in detail. |
| 169144205 | 5 months ago | Please don't connect landuse to sidewalks, service roads, or similar features. It is topologically incorrect and makes the data harder to maintain. I would also comment on the tagging of the buildings but it seems you've fixed that already. |
| 123381547 | 6 months ago | Apologies. They were similar enough that I did not even realize they were in separate languages. I went by string similarity. Since I didn't find other features with a Norwegian name in the download, I thought it was a spelling mistake. This was out of linguistic ignorance, not a mechanical edit. |
| 168245956 | 6 months ago | I used RapiD because I was initially planning to add buildings in Grand View, but I found that the editor still has too many bugs to use reliably. I'll still be sticking to iD and JOSM. |
| 167934040 | 6 months ago | Owyhee County is starting to look pretty awesome! I'm curious: if I mapped all the addresses in Canyon County, would that encourage you to map farms and landuse there too? |
| 167663698 | 6 months ago | Trying a new approach where I map all the crossings first, then the sidewalks. I'm hoping it will reduce the time spent switching between continuing different ways. |
| 164828822 | 7 months ago | I have also corrected the ZIP code on buildings 2 and 3, after confirming with the county addressing and post office. |
| 167282336 | 7 months ago | Thank you for adding the new traffic pattern. Avoid abbreviating names in OSM. Directionals and suffixes should be spelled out (East Karcher Road). The roundabout should not have a name at all. |
| 166624507 | 7 months ago | When you remove the predirectional, you need to tag the full name in name:full. |
| 166904199 | 7 months ago | This is a private residence. You cannot visit an amenity here. It is just the owner's mailing address. It should be removed in full. |
| 166898102 | 7 months ago | They're all streams and you can still map them. You can add the tag intermittent=yes. |
| 166604149 | 7 months ago | It indicates both the direction of the road and its location relative to the address grid. Combined with the address you can determine a lot about the location. Take it up with the fire department, as that's ultimately the decisive force in many naming decisions. |
