Why have you changed the denomination to an obviously wrong value?

Members of the multipolygon are touching each other, which is invalid. way/492440869 and way/492440734.

Doesn't make sense to have a building way as an outer way for a building multipolygon. The issue is that types are being mixed up (a single relation has features of both type=building and type=multipolygon. I will fix.

Coming back to this (as I see the name is still there) I see this name is definitely wrong: way/710765977

Misspelled Wikipedia tag "Hammet"

The inner school probably never should have been tagged to begin with, but in any case it no longer exists so I deleted it.

Don't make changes just to get rid of validator warnings.

Features are marked private with access=private, not private=yes

Inner polygons of the water area don't actually need any tags. They were tagged that way by inexperienced mappers such as myself in the past.

You would probably not describe a wetland as a forest no matter how many trees it had, so I would not tag it as a forest.

Please do not tag common areas as parks unless they are actual parks. You can tag as landuse=grass instead. And not everything needs a name. You would never say to someone "There is a park surrounding this walkway called 'Parkway Pedestrian Access'." so you should not tag it that way either.

The parking lot is not named "RV Parking". That is a description.

This is a private residence, not a hotel

amenity=self_storage is not recognized by most data consumers. Better to tag the area or the office as shop=storage_rental and just tag building=warehouse on the buildings

For a more thorough explanation, the feature you have added is not called "Gas Well". It is a gas well. It would be like saying your dog is named Dog. Despite what you might think from what the editor tells you, you are never obligated to add a name (name)=* to a feature. Only when a feature actually has a name should this tag be used

On that note, alphanumeric identifiers are also not names. You can represent those by adding a reference (ref)=*.

You cannot copy from other maps unless you have permission or copyright.

Even if Google Maps were an acceptable source, it is of poor quality. It has many spam and fake entries in addition to inaccurate information.

I'm sure we will discover many of my building footprints are very far off. I've been wanting to map for four years at this point. Haven't been to the zoo lately, though.
