I'm pretty sure this platform is long-abandoned. Esri Clarity and Mapbox imagery both show it as being badly overgrown.

If you're going to be adding new construction to Spokane County, please don't use Esri Clarity as your imagery. Except at the highest zoom levels, it's literally the oldest imagery currently available.

DigitalGlobe/Maxar Premium is the newest available, but Esri World Imagery is much sharper and only a few months older.

Please don't abbreviate names. It's easy for a computer to construct an abbreviation if it needs to save space, but expanding one is nearly impossible. "Ln" for "Lane" isn't too bad, but should "St" be expanded to "Street", "Saint", or "State"?

I'm not sure. On the one hand, I don't think there's anything in the changeset besides new nodes with just a "name=" tag. They're just about invisible and easy to revert if needed. On the other hand, the longer we wait, the more likely it is that people will start dealing with them piecemeal, making a revert more complicated.

I'd favor giving the OP 24 hours to respond before doing anything.

Are you sure you've got the turn restriction correct here? It looks to me like the purpose of the turn lane is to permit drivers to go from southbound Greene Street to the service road.

I've been using the "Fishing Spot" tag when adding fishing access sites in Montana.

Thanks for your contribution!

Unfortunately, there are a number of issues with it.

First and foremost, bare names are of almost no use. It's of far more value if you add tags indicating what sort of thing each name applies to: for example, Great Basin National Park is a "boundary=national_park", while "11000 Ophir Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90024" would be far more useful (and find-able) if properly formatted using tags from the "addr:" family. The OSM wiki (osm.wiki/Main_Page) has thousands of pages describing how to tag things, while both the JOSM and iD editors have presets to simplify the process of adding tags. iD (the in-browser editor) is probably the better of the two for adding tags, since it's got a much larger library of presets.

Second, many of the points you've added duplicate existing objects. The "11000 Ophir Dr" address is new, but Great Basin National Park was added to the map almost four years ago.

Third, a large-scale addition like this shows up in the change history for almost half the world. If you had broken it up into smaller pieces, it would be easier for people to judge the changes in their local area, while people in places like Mali, Belarus, or Costa Rica wouldn't even see it.

And finally, a changeset comment like "test places" does not inspire confidence in the quality of the additions.

I don't know where you got this version of Saltese Uplands Conservation Area from, but it doesn't match the on-the-ground reality. The small corner of land between the parking lot and Henry Road may on paper be public right-of-way, but in practice, it's used and managed as part of the conservation area. Conversely, the area to the south of Henry Road may be owned by the county, but there are no markings to indicate it's part of the conservation area (not even a fence), and part of it is currently being farmed.

Are you sure about these roads? Sentinel satellite imagery from two weeks ago shows a very different alignment for Colonial, Meyers, and 15th.

I think "Wastewater basin" would be a better tag than "pond" for the settling ponds in a waste-treatment plant.

A quick spot-check indicates that this "fix" made things worse: for example, the original tags on node/3225792544 were pointless or confusing, but would be ignored by almost everything. The new tags include an invalid "type=ROAD", which could cause programs to break.

I see it. I've put the park back.

There's been a spate of new users adding spurious "parks" to try to get an advantage in Pokemon Go, and this looked a great deal like one of those. If you want to re-add it, go ahead -- but I've got two recommendations if you do so:

First, I recommend switching to the older-but-sharper Esri Clarity imagery. You can do that by clicking on the "background settings" tab on the right side of the editor. This will let you draw a more accurate outline rather than a generic blob in the middle of the map.

And second, after tagging it as a park, add a "note" field from the "Add field" drop-down menu giving a link to something -- a parks website, a newspaper article, a blog, a photo you took of a sign -- anything, really, that gives an indication that this wasn't just something you made up.

I've deleted it -- "Olinger Park" isn't listed on the Milton-Freewater website, nor does the website list a park in that location by any name. The triangle between Main, Columbia, and Second looks like generic urban green space, not a park, and I didn't see any signs giving it a name in Bing Streetside.

The section of Conklin Road you added looks pretty "former" to me. If you switch over to Esri World Imagery (a few months older than DigitalGlobe Premium, but much sharper), you'll see a fallen log that looks like it's been there for a while, and a couple of trees that are probably 5-10 years old.

The "residential road" tag you used for the roads you added down by Walla Walla is intended for things like house-lined suburban streets. A better tag for what you added is "driveway".

(Historically, "residential road" has also been used as the default tag for "you can drive here" features, so it's difficult to learn the proper usage of it from looking at the map.)

Please don't use abbreviations in names. It's easy for a computer to abbreviate a word if it needs to save space, but going the other direction is much harder. For example, should "St" be expanded to "Street", "State", or "Saint"?

Has Horse Haven been re-opened? Last I heard, it was very much an abandoned airstrip.

Is there a reason you deleted the driveway here? It sure looks like it exists in the aerial imagery.

If you're going to do a Maproulette task, please actually *do* the task. If a driveway is misaligned and mis-tagged, marking it as "looks okay" doesn't count.
