Hi iriman,
Thank you for your interest in Iraq, and as I said if you need any help, let me know.
I remove spam places almost daily, most of this spam is coming from maps,me users who added their names, private homes, private personal information, duplicated POI, etc... I validate each edit base on the name tag, user history, location, nearby POI, local knowledge, and many other factors.
About the 2 examples you gave are the same,
for the religious stuff I deleted, some were closed permanently, some of them are only open for less than a week in a year and may never open again, some of them are in a wrong location, some of them are made up, some others are private homes which people marked as that for I don't know what reason, a blessing? or they add it maliciously above a private home of someone whom they don't like? many many endless reasons.
for the "مضيف" stuff, most of them, literally above of %99 of them are private homes, they added their name to the map with the word مضيف, don't confuse this with a guest house as the word "مضيف" in Iraq it stands for the location were a guy or his family receive guests to visit, and that would be in their "صالة الضيوف" which is the guest room, basically like a living room but only for guest. the %1 left is a building that is not a private home but was like built or bought only for receiving guests to visit and meet. All of these examples are spam which should not be confused with "tourism=guest_house" because there is no bed rooms, guests are not staying more than few hours, they are not paying for the accommodation, and almost all of these guests are coming from the same town/village etc..
Regards.

Hello Again kiriman,
Thank you for mapping in Iraq lately, I know you're mapping based on aerial imagery only without local knowledge which is fine, but let me explain the situation here in the area you edited based on my local knowledge.
These lands you converted the tag from farmland to residential in this changeset and changeset/123092907 are called "طابو زراعي", which means "farmland deed", they are not registered as "residential" in the Governmental titles, they are Farmlands officially, but after 2003, with the government who don't care or operate correctly, the farmland owners start to sell these farmlands to people for cheap without accountability, and now these people built houses illegally in these farmlands, for example, 80 houses share a 1 farmland deed with shares split between them. The government can eject them and demolish the illegal houses at any moment though.
So let's get back to the situation on OSM, I believe it is correct to mark them as "residential" for now as they are residential houses, and on top of that, I believe we should add a 'description' saying "طابو زراعي" and a 'note' saying "Farmlands used as residential area illegally" or something in this sort.
If you need anything or want any help in Iraq based on local knowledge, let me know.
Regards.

Hello Again Renas Azad,
Please when you map consider mapping with the local language as it is on the ground to follow the on-ground rule.
For example, in this node, you added the 'name' tag in Kurdish not in Arabic which is the local language and the language the hotel uses in its signs, ads and social media. see: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078694374752
I know you're a kurd and you want this city to look kurdish by kurdification the city but this will lead to huge problems.
Regards.

Hello again iriman, what is the source of node/9855827834? Regards.

122865984 over 3 years ago

No worries, no need to double check my friend, your word is enough. Was just wondering because it's kinda weird.
Keep up the good work.

Hello Iriman, what is the source of these "benches"? cause I don't think they are benches between roads, the location to set "benches" is nonsense and weird..
If your source the aerial imagery, then these might be trimmed bushes? I don't know, just asking about the benches if you're sure about them.
Regards.

*your source.

Hello iriman, the tag should be for the node "shop=grocery" not a supermarket. since it's a very small shop and the name clearly says "اسواق" which is like a small grocery shop.
There might be grocery stores that have a sign that says "سوبرماركت" these stores should be added as grocery stores, not a supermarket but add the name as is in the name tag, for example, https://i.ibb.co/1rQWqrr/Example.jpg
I don't know if you guys are familiar with supermarkets in Iran but a supermarket, in general, is like a regular store but usually Big in size and has everything in the food sections like Bato or Cozmo supermarkets around Baghdad, when it gets bigger it would be called hypermarkets like ABC hypermarkets which you can buy household items and home appliances, anything smaller than the supermarket it should be tagged as convention store or grocery store.
Lastly, I asked about the source because I thought you're source was google maps since it was also mapped wrong there as a "supermarket" and google maps is not an acceptable source here in OSM, not sure about YouTube though.
Best Regards and keep up the good work!

Hello iriman, What is the source for node/9841693861 that you added in this changeset?
I'm pretty sure there is no "supermarket" in this street base on local knowledge of the area, there might be couple small shops but not a supermarket.
Regards.

Hello Aleksandar1994, please, can you use the naming method we the local mappers agreed to use in Iraq next time?
The naming would be like XXX-YY
XXX is محلة, YY is زقاق. This format is the approved one by the community, and is used in all cities where the names were added, like Erbil, Baghdad, Sulaymaniyah, and Next month all of Mosul (I hope if I got time)
If you have street name data, please share it so I can help add them all. Thanks
