Dear Lamassu, you can't map a building inside another building if it was another building storey level, you should map with with: building:part=* . I'm not sure if the iD editor on the browser tell you that this is a mapping error or not.
Best Regards.

‘Name’ tag should always be in the local language. Kirkuk is Arab majority population.
You can add the kurdish name in ‘name:ku’ and ‘name:ckb’ tags.
Thank you.

I hope this solution works but I doubt it.
This solution was done 3 times before, and the same user, see: https://osmcha.org/changesets/107833610/ and: https://osmcha.org/changesets/111372699/ and: https://osmcha.org/changesets/88829765/
The same user edited it to Kurdish 11 times from his main account.
The last census stated that the Arabs are almost 6/5 times larger than the Kurds in population in Kirkuk, I also witnessed this while I was working locally in the city. All the locals and residents were speaking Arabic, even the local Kurds speaking with other Kurds, except the Turkmen people (a small minority, way less than the other minorities, Kurds, Chaldean
, Assyrians, and others), they were talking some kind of Turkish with each other that I did not understand.
Anyway, if this solution works that would be great untill the next census. I will change it back to Arabic when there is an actual formal written proof of current census data, I believe this will be acceptable if local knowledge doesn't.
Best Regards, Jay.

Hello siyuanx, and welcome to OSM, in this changeset you tagged these buildings you added with "area=yes" instead of "building=yes". Just wanted to let you know.

ali 1375, This line in this changeset and other lines nearby the 3 Emirate islands are also shared with the UAE as a boundary, you can't force to name the boundaries in the Persian language that countries don't speak.

Renas Azad, Kirkuk as an Arab majority city according to the last census that stated the Arabs are 5 times larger than the Kurds.
The Kurds was a majority back in the 1950's but not now, here in OSM we go by current data. Also Kirkuk are not in the northern Kurdish region. Stop the Kurdifications of these area near the Kurdish region. And if you want to edit things based on historical matters, this one for you: https://openhistoricalmap.org/

Hello RealNamesMatter, stop making new accounts to do spam. Iraq doesn't speak Persian, so please don't do that. I'll revert your vandalism edits, again. Please stop.

iriman, Please re-read what I said above. In the end, we can not add a 'name' based on a generic term or description. We can not add “between the two mosques street” in any Arabic, Persian, English, or any other languages. Please don’t argue, and don't waste my time. Thank you for understanding.

120182604 over 3 years ago

Dear iriman,
I was talking with the user Nawfal who added the 'name' tag on telegram before and I asked him to get the local maps data to have the roads as xxx-xx and he said he will be on it and will start with his local residential area in the same city and expanding.
Please don't assume things without prior knowledge.
Best Regards and good luck to you too.

Dear iriman,
Here in OSM, we are a community with the same goals to make and improve the map, the key point is teamwork. You need to understand this.
Going back about that road, still, we can not add descriptions of the road as the 'name' tag. You can add it as 'description' but not as a name, as I said before we can not use the name "between the two mosques" as it's not the road name.
And to answer your question about the Iraqi who added the wrong name too. I just removed it too as it was tagged wrong with "residential" tags and a wrong name. spam is spam it doesn't matter where the user came from.
If you notice any other spam feel free to remove it yourself or ask me to do it, you're most welcome!
Best Regards

This changset revert @RealNamesMatter's vandalism edits in changeset/120418520 , 120417909, 120417504, 120416877, 120416757, and 120416601. Except 120419601, which woodpeck (DWG) reverted it in changeset/120424626

Dear iriman,
Your edit was wrong that was the reason it got reverted. Simple as that.
You can see the 'addr:street' of the way you shared above (the first link) there is a different street name. Both are wrong though.
The reason I reverted only the one you added is because I reverted your changeset not the one before it. That doesn't make the previous one correct. Feel free to remove the wrong ‘name’ tag if you want.
I recommend you look at the exact link you provided for the Key:name ( name=*#:~:text=The%20feature%20is%20known%20by%20a%20generic%20term%20or%20description ) and see this exact line: "Do not use name=* if: The feature is known by a generic term or description." and the name you added is a description of the street, not the real name, you added the name as "between the 2 mosques" This is not a name! the names for minor roads in Iraq is numeric like XXX-XX which x is a number. I suggest you stick to local edits in your country if you're not familiar with this area.
Best Regards.

Hello iriman,
Your changeset was reverted fully because of the other tag you added in your changeset, that rag is not an official name. You can add it with ‘alt_name:fa’ if you want because there is no street with name “بين الحرمين” excited in the official documents.
And about this changeset comment is for the other things that got removed in this changeset like private homes etc..
best regards.

Hello Bravo Mapper,
You changed the name of the street from Arabic to Kurdish, this goes against the on ground rule of OSM.
in OSM the 'name' tag should be in the local language of the area. And this city is an Arab majority therefore the general 'name' tag should be in Arabic. I will revert it back to Arabic and I hope you understand this matter.
Best regards.

Hi @adsfzxcv, and welcome to OSM!
Here in OSM we prefer to use the local language to call features in the map.
You can learn more here: osm.wiki/How_We_Map

Thank you. I let my friends in Basra knows that the error will be fixed soon, They’re thanking you too.

112101415 over 3 years ago

Hello Chusovaya, this relation still appears in Apple Maps and now where ever you put a point in the Basra provenance you will have "Al Qitah" name shown as the address.
There is no such thing as "Al Qitah", this will give Apple Maps users in Basra a bad experience.
You can open Apple Maps and put any dropped point in Basra and see what's the address.
Here is a screenshot: https://i.ibb.co/fYmBY5N/Basra.png
Please fix the Apple map ASAP, thank you!
