Hello Muhammad Hareery,
Sorry for bugging you about this 4 year old edit, but may I know the source for these residential roads in Duhok?
Isn't the residential roads have only "Zuqaq" numbers?
So if you don't mind share the source of this changeset, and why it's in English alphabet not in Arabic alphabet?
Thanks.

Hello ayderMamoori, Thank you for your edits, but please can you write a good changeset comment?
For this changeset it would be something like "added traffic lights on ways" so that we understand what is your edit about without wasting time.
Please read: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments
Thank you and regards.

Hello zhiar590, please use good changeset comments as "small fixes" wont help other mappers understand what is your edit.
Maybe try "small alignment of the road" or like "move the shop slightly to the correct position" etc. that would help alot.

Hello Maytham,
Please use good changeset comment to help other mappers understand your edits, and that will not waste their time trying to understand what is the edit about.
"Majnoon update" is not clear, Majnoon is the area name and the word update is very vague. Maybe you can try lets say "updated the roads in Majnoon to match sat imagery" or like "updated the xxx in Majnoon area" or maybe "added xxx in Majnoon" etc. and that would be very clear for the mappers to understand the changeset.
Thank you.

Good.. changeset.. comment.. please..
I asked you many times before. please just help us understand your edits without wasting time.
See my comment in: changeset/153267161

Elhamn1992, I had asked you and your team before to keep your changesets local, aka small area at a time. The way you are doing it is spamming the history tap with large changeset box that is all over multiple countries. Please keep your edits local.
Regards.

This changeset has been reverted fully by changeset/153273915 and the changeset comment is:

Revert changesets 153265950 153265915 as they changed the name of the street from the official and correct name to a descriptive name that say the area name with the word street.

Hello,
The name you changed into is a descriptive name, the area name with street, while the name you removed is the actual name officially since over 40 years and established on the official government maps.
Please refrain from such changes without knowledge.
Regards.

مرحبًا،
الاسم الذي قمت بالتحويل إليه هو اسم وصفي، اسم المنطقة مع الشارع، بينما الاسم الذي قمت بإزالته هو الاسم الفعلي رسميًا منذ أكثر من 40 عامًا والمثبت على الخرائط الحكومية الرسمية.
يرجى الامتناع عن مثل هذه التغييرات دون علم.
يعتبر.

Hello desertivy,
Previously I asked you to use good changeset comment multiple times, and still, you did not achieve that unfortunately. I have explained the importance of the changeset comment to be clear to you in very detailed way before, like in changeset/152541931
So please do use meaningful changeset comments, “updated a building” does not help other mappers understand what you are doing.

Regards.

Hello again haider73,

Previously, I asked you to add more detailed changeset comments because "edit location" does not help other mappers understand the nature of your edits.

Please explain your edits in the changeset comments, such as "I deleted this shop because it's closed," "renamed the school to the new name," "corrected grammar in the name," or "moved the business to the correct location." Comments like "edit location" are too vague, and we cannot discern what specific edits you made.

I hope this is clear. Yesterday, you made more than 200 changesets, and reviewing them is very challenging with such vague comments. In our Iraq community group, we received reports and complaints about your edits. They mentioned that you deleted many points of interest that still exist on the ground, like malls, and with such vague comments, it is difficult to identify the specific changesets.

Therefore, please use detailed changeset comments that clearly describe your edits, including the reason and source.

Regards.

أهلا بك حيدر 73 مرة أخرى

في السابق، طلبت منك إضافة تعليقات أكثر تفصيلاً لمجموعة التغييرات لأن "تحرير الموقع" لا يساعد مصممي الخرائط الآخرين على فهم طبيعة تعديلاتك.

يرجى توضيح تعديلاتك في تعليقات مجموعة التغييرات، مثل "لقد حذفت هذا المتجر لأنه مغلق"، أو "أعدت تسمية المدرسة إلى الاسم الجديد"، أو "قمت بتصحيح القواعد النحوية في الاسم"، أو "نقل النشاط التجاري إلى الموقع الصحيح". التعليقات مثل "تحرير الموقع" غامضة جدًا، ولا يمكننا تمييز التعديلات المحددة التي أجريتها.

آمل أن يكون هذا واضحا. بالأمس، قمت بإجراء أكثر من 200 مجموعة تغييرات، ومراجعتها تمثل تحديًا كبيرًا مع مثل هذه التعليقات الغامضة. في مجموعة مجتمعنا في العراق، تلقينا تقارير وشكاوى بشأن تعديلاتك. وذكروا أنك حذفت العديد من النقاط المثيرة للاهتمام التي لا تزال موجودة على أرض الواقع، مثل مراكز التسوق، ومع مثل هذه التعليقات الغامضة، يصعب تحديد مجموعات التغييرات المحددة.

ولذلك، يرجى استخدام تعليقات مجموعة التغييرات التفصيلية التي تصف تعديلاتك بوضوح، بما في ذلك السبب والمصدر.

Hello haider73,
Please do use meaningful changeset comments - “.تعديل موقع” which translate to "edit location" does not help other mappers understand what you are doing.
osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments
Regards.

Upon review, it is evident that the majority of these entries are spam and irrelevant data introduced by mobile navigation applications. Leveraging my local knowledge, I can confirm that these nodes are indeed spam, and their deletion was appropriate based on my observations. Additionally, the user's comments are accurate. This issue has been previously discussed within our local community (https://t.me/OSM_Iraq), and such deletions are welcomed, particularly as Iraq and the broader Middle East region are often plagued by Maps.me/mobile apps spam.
Best regards

Source for changing the highway classifications?

> streets of Baghdad governorate and some other cities were classified based on this proposal." & "no harm in using it till approval or a better alternative."
No, and please do not edit tag values to proposed ones. We shall only used the official government classification system of the roads, and we shall not classify them based on our opinions.

>the proposal was made after a good amount of research"
Were this research published or discussed?

> I only changed 5 roads.
No, you changed many many road classifications, just last 3 days you made this changeset and those other changesets 152559788, 152559016, 152558508, 152558069 etc.. You has tens or even hundreds of changesets when you changed road classifications based that proposed tag, which is not the right thing to do, and shall be checked and reverted to the correct values manually.

Regards.

Hello Desertivy,
I suppose you are relying on this source for your edits, right?
osm.wiki/Iraq#Highway/Roads_classification_in_Iraq
If so, please keep in mind that those classifications are proposed and were never approved or voted on by OSM members or the community, similar to the administrative levels mentioned under that section in the same link . Therefore, we should use the tag's values wiki and see what it says:

highway=*#Highway
highway=primary
highway=secondary

Keep in mind that in Iraq, we use the "النظام الانكليزي" (The English System) of road classifications and signs. You can see how the UK classifies its roads here:
osm.wiki/International_highway_classification_equivalence#:~:text=United-,Kingdom

In addition to that, I believe the ones you changed to primary it is not suitable for the situation on the ground. The main roads in this area of Baghdad are generally oriented from the southwest to the northeast, and the ones that cross them are narrower, have lower speed limits, and are less relevant and less used. Therefore, they should not have the same value, in my opinion. You changed almost all the secondary roads in Baghdad to primary, and I think we might need to reclassify those roads again.

Tell me your thoughts.

Regards.

Thank you @Eman Ghareeb, for your phenomenal and excellent work. You and your team are making extraordinary efforts to improve and fix the roads in Iraq, and it shows! Please continue the great work.

And for @desertivy, days ago I asked you to use good changeset comments to explain your edits so it is easier for us mappers to understand without digging into it.
changeset/152435410

Unfortunately, you did not respond to my request and continued to add changeset comments that don't explain what you did. For example, you used "improvements" in the changeset comment when you deleted an existing road, which was thankfully restored here in this changeset. I see you still have changesets with only "improvements" as the comment, as your last one was 4 hours ago, but you did not specify what you improved. Was it the shape and alignment of ways? Did you improve the naming? Delete something? Improve the nodes or shops?

Here are some examples of unclear changeset comments and how to fix them:

For the changeset when you deleted the road, you should have said, "deleted the road as it's not existing in the Esri satellite imagery."
You stated "construction areas"; you should have said, "adding construction area landuse," for example.
You stated "خزان ماء الحبيبية," translated to "Habybyah water tank." What about it? You should have said something like, "improved the tagging and deleted 2 duplicate nodes."
In another changeset, you stated "changed road classification." What road and why? You should have stated the reason, like "changed xxx road classification to a more suitable one per my survey" or "changed xxx highway value from x to y per my local knowledge."
Another changeset comment was "minor fix," but you did not specify the actual fix. It should have said, "removed building tag from the land and added a building inside of it."

For more info, you can read the wiki or ask for help, and we will be glad to assist you.
osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Now let's get back to this changeset. Not only would those who have recent satellite imagery think this might be vandalism, but also the locals or those who have seen it on the ground. Seeing you delete an existing road from the OSM database is concerning. Just this year, we had tens of new bridges and ways in Baghdad, and many of these are still not available in the satellite imagery on OSM. That is not an excuse to remove them. You should have checked the road's history to see when it was added or edited, and you would have seen the source for that before removing it entirely without local knowledge.

I really hope these points are clear and help you map better.

Best regards.

Hello, Thank you for the corrections, may you please specify the source please, just to make sure? regards.

Hello desertivy, what do you think about changing the name of this section to match the southern section of it? is the name Zain alqaus more common than alkayarah or it's the other way around?
Regards.

Dear desertivy, Please use good changeset comment so mappers can understand and know what you edit, as putting only the street name in the changeset comment does not explain your edit and mappers would spent more time examining the changeset.
Also can you please share the source of the alt_name you added here? would be appreciated it.
Regards.
