Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap. Please try to minimise the bounding box of your changesets by uploading before moving to a new area. This changeset shows up when looking for changes in Idaho or Wyoming and a host of other states, making it harder to view edits to the area. If you have any more questions, let me know.

StreetComplete tricked me into some funny mapping.

Per osm.wiki/Relations/Relations_are_not_Categories there should not be a relation of Disney parks because it is a category.

Roads should not be connected to powerlines. A connection between two features implies there should be routing from one to the other. Powerlines should go over all features and not touch them. I have fixed this. In order to prevent this from happening again, I suggest disabling power features in the side menu so that they are invisible.

Google Maps is incompatible with ODbL. Please find a different source for your edits.

Baca County is tagged as highway=primary, surely this is a mistake?

Should Edgewater be mapped as a city? It certainly doesn't have the population or amenities that would indicate a city. Just because it has 'city' in the name doesn't mean it should be mapped as one; otherwise, all incorporated municipalities in states like Idaho would be cities and the map would be cluttered.

I would say that information is being added as the moving of the tags to the area indicates that it is the sole occupant whereas the node only indicates that 7-Eleven occupies part of the building. So I would say that the addition of data is a compelling reason. There is no 'wrong' way to map real things and I think that my method adds information that was not previously there.

No work is being deleted; no tags are being removed and no information is lost.

Hi chachafish,

Isn't the entire building 7-Eleven? I was merging business nodes with the building they're contained in when there is only one business in the building. If this is a mistake, let me know and I'll restore the node. I've only been by it once and that was a few years ago, but it seemed like it was clearly the only occupant in the building.

Oops! Thanks for fixing that.

Street directions and suffixes should not be abbreviated in OSM. I've fixed the name on this as well as North Fenwick Avenue.

If a tag needs to have multiple values, they should be separated with semicolons rather than slashes. Since edifice_height is an undocumented tag, it would be helpful to create a page on the OSM wiki explaining what it means. While it would be incorrect to delete it, it would clear up confusion for other mappers.

Thanks,

One feature, one OSM element applies here.

You can edit other people's tags and delete them (OSM is a collaborative project after all), but don't delete them just because you don't understand them.

If you are testing, do not upload your data to OpenStreetMap. I recommend using JOSM and discouraging uploads.

Also, the changeset's bounding box is quite large and shows up when viewing edits in Belize, Timor Leste, and many other countries that weren't modified in the changeset.

In addition, your data was assumed to be an import. Undiscussed imports are reverted even if the data is good. Unsourced imports are also reverted because the other database may have an incompatible licence.

If you're using abbreviations, translate them into existing tags or make new ones that follow the usage of similar ones. If you cannot work with the data in that format, I would suggest using some other software. If you have information to add that is not in the database, add it to the existing tags for the volcano or if the volcano does not exist, create one.

Also, in the future make sure you are tagging the way rather than a node in the way.

Hello gemstateroofing,

Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap. Ensure you are using standardised tagging and don't use description=* for advertising messages. If you have any questions, let me know.

Not just that, they have the wrong elevation too.

In order for the boundaries to work properly, there needs to be a relation containing all the ways with the boundary tag, name, and type=boundary. The way it's currently tagged is incompatible with many renderers. In addition, some of these boundaries are redundant because they follow county lines, national forests, etc.

Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap. Please save your work by uploading the changeset before moving to a new area to avoid creating large changeset boundary boxes. This changeset covers a third of the Lower 48. It shows when looking at changesets in Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, and many other states even though changes were made in only Virginia and Washington. It makes it difficult to determine where edits have been made. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Highlands Elementary School is being renovated and the entire plot has been torn up, including the parking lot. This road no longer exists, and when the renovation is done the road will be located somewhere else. In addition, Mapbox Satellite imagery is out-of-date in Boise compared to the National Agricultural Imagery Program. NAIP imagery shows that the road has been torn up. I have removed the service road. Always ensure you are using the most recent imagery available when armchair mapping. Thank you!
