Is there a reason you deleted a bunch of logging roads and at least one driveway, rather than re-tagging them as tracks and service roads?

I'm not sure how you managed it, but you partially deleted a park in Austria in addition to your changes in the Tacoma area. I've fixed things, but please be more careful in the future.

Welcome to OSM!

In case you haven't noticed it, you can change the background imagery you see when mapping by clicking the "Background Settings" button (the one that looks a little like three stacked sheets of paper) and selecting an option from the list that appears. The "Esri World Imagery" option looks like it's the clearest in the area. Unfortunately, it also looks like it's the oldest, so you may need to switch back and forth between options depending on what you're mapping.

I got a chance to survey most of this today, and the north section is still very road-like: double-track bare dirt. Grass seed has been sprinkled on a few stretches, but there's been zero regrowth. Further south, there's been rehabilitation effort, but the damage will be visible for a few years yet.

Welcome to OSM, and thanks for your contributions.

Something to keep an eye out for, though: two of the smaller buildings you mapped here are actually cars (I've deleted them). When you're mapping things that aren't clear from the aerial imagery, it's helpful to switch between multiple image sources, because some images are sharper, or newer, or better-aligned than others.

The trail you've added here appears to cut across somebody's field. Is it really a public access point?

A tip for when you're editing in Spokane County (or, as here, just over the border): Esri World Imagery is far sharper than any of the other options, and nearly the newest.

Please don't add fake objects to the map -- it just makes more work for those of us who need to clean up afterwards. If you want to map for Pokemon, there are plenty of real parks you can add.

Don't use Google Earth as a source for mapping. The Google terms of service and OpenStreetMap policy both prohibit it, and Google tends to get upset about this in legally unpleasant ways.

(Additionally, it's likely that Google Earth got this wrong: the Kootenai National Forest website, which *is* a permissible source, calls it "Barron Creek Boating Site".)

I got out my most recent survey photos, and as of September 24 of last year, the northernmost section (the part mapped as a service road) was still a bare dirt track, showing no rehabilitation effort. Do you have more recent observations?

55666583 almost 8 years ago

Is the northernmost section of the road actually being rehabilitated?

55564222 almost 8 years ago

Is there a reason why you moved a large number of objects ten meters to the southwest?

What did you actually do in this changeset? "Adding buildings" isn't an accurate description of a changeset that moves thousands of nodes scattered around the world, but doesn't add anything.

55445540 almost 8 years ago

Did you forget to add a tag to the way you created here?

55435186 almost 8 years ago

In case you didn't know, you can change the background imagery the editor's showing you by clicking the "Background settings" tab (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper) and selecting from the menu that comes up. In the Spokane County area, the "Esri world imagery" option is much sharper than the default Bing imagery.

I know there's some major construction going on in this area right now. Do these buildings represent the new construction, old work, or are they in an area unaffected by the construction?

55392319 almost 8 years ago

Is there a reason why you deleted Greenacres Airport? There's a very runway-looking structure about a mile southwest of the former node location, right where the FAA's records say the airport is.

55218284 almost 8 years ago

Is there a reason why you've duplicated a number of existing roads? A changeset comment of "#msftbusinessapps" isn't very informative.

54912996 almost 8 years ago

I don't know. Address points on roads are sufficiently out of the ordinary that I've got no idea if it will be handled properly or not.

Could you please do your "stuff" in smaller areas at a time? A change like this that includes things in both Washington and Alabama will show up in the map history for virtually the entire United States.
