way/1147138477 seems not to exist, or maybe it's misaligned. Any insight?

I generally agree MikeN, but that is not the case here. Other imports of this sort of data by the same user have been proven problematic and even acknowledged as such by the DWG.

It's not your work. We've been over this: your "manual review" is either a façade or product of incompetence. Everyone knows what you've done here, including the DWG. Continuing to lie about it just makes people mad. I'm happy to give you a list of bad footprints, but at this point it's clear that you have no sense of shame and doing so will just prompt your newest lie about how "that's such a small percentage of the data!". We both know it's coming, so you can save yourself the trouble.

Cut it out with the whataboutism. I don't care what data dumping they're doing in other countries. I don't map there. I do map in the US!

What will you do if someone reverts this changeset, revert it back? You'll just get blocked again. But by all means, keep digging. I'll be working on the list of low-quality buildings; not for you, but for anyone with lingering doubts.

It's preferred to map as building=detached, assuming these are single-family. It is more specific than building=house. Thanks for adding these!

Oh dear, seems I copied the same link twice. The building I meant to link to in my third link was just to the west of the second one.

These are just the worst examples. There are plenty of buildings that are just not aligned, or have oversimplified shapes. Sometimes it is better to ignore the Bing building and do it by hand instead.

It would be good to review these buildings carefully instead of adding them blindly. For example, way/1150289618 is actually two buildings. The garage is separate, the roof just happens to overlap with the house's porch. And another example, though not in this changeset: way/1150289947. This shape is totally wrong. It should be a simple rectangle, but here you've mapped it with a bit jutting out. A neighboring building, way/1150289647, is no better. You've mapped a detached garage as part of the house.

It is clear by the RapiD (pun intended) pace at which you're uploading these changesets that these buildings are not being properly reviewed, and thus this constitutes an undocumented import.

I believe if you revert all the changesets at once, and just choose to resolve any conflicts toward what's on the server (assume edits made after the import make the building now usable) you can correct most of the damage.

May be good to ask for help in the OSM Slack. There are definitely some experts there. And it's likely that the DWG would work to revert these edits as well.

The unreviewed Bing import that got this user blocked for 10 years is bad? Guess you have to revert it...

Very clever dogwhistle! Surely DWG won't take action against this sort of changeset comment.

The building named "House" that is clearly a detached house didn't raise any flags?

Make sure to square buildings after drawing them by selecting them and pressing Q.

132885640 almost 3 years ago

It it really an old name? In my experience, the TIGER names often exist, but are on the wrong road. Whatever the case, it seems unlikely that this ever had a name.

Might be good to come back and square these now that we have better editing tools.

132926793 almost 3 years ago

Oh hey, that's my building!

It's not showing in my edit history on Bing Map builder yet and I haven't received an email.

It seems more likely to be a bollard than a gate, presumably blocking an emergency access. Do you have any street-level imagery to confirm?

132827453 almost 3 years ago

Then your intentionally poor edits will be referred to the DWG.

132827453 almost 3 years ago

This is not an answer. Please fix the obvious issues with your edits.

132815594 almost 3 years ago

This is not an appropriate attitude. It is not our responsibility to decipher what you're trying to do. This is a collaborative platform.

132864611 almost 3 years ago

Nope, just SEO spam. This is a private residence.

These would probably more accurately be mapped as building parts. From the looks of the roof (totally seamless between many of the roofs) they are likely just rooms.
