Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

It seems like this changeset includes moving some artwork in Seattle away from its actual location, even though the majority of your edits are in a completely different area.

This is a pretty easy error to make - while navigating around the map, sometimes things get accidentally moved. That's ok - we all make mistakes, especially when starting out!

I have fixed the location in changeset/169875001

Happy mapping!

Thank you for providing the details on what caused the issue! :) We all make mistakes, and that's okay.
Happy mapping!

I'm not sure how the bridge went from `surface=wood` to `surface=asphalt` in my changeset changeset/166766038 - thanks for catching and fixing that. :) Happy mapping!

I check with this opening_hours evaluation tool: https://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/ (and ignore all of the public holidays warnings)

Hi! I noticed that this changeset was tagged for review.

Seems good to me - `opening_hours`=* format here is valid.

An aside - I added some additional details in changeset/166090218

Happy mapping!

I think `utility=electric` is probably close enough of an unneeded duplicate / typo to warrant a simple global fixup edit like this, so I see no need to revert it.

Hi! Hmm - do you know what the default speed limit for these links is if it is not signed?

Correct changeset comment is: Add fire hydrant, bollards, guard rail, and sign.

Hi! I made some additional changes in changeset/165782342 - once the routers update, they should hopefully no longer route pedestrians north/south across this intersection using the roadways, and instead direct people to the intersection to the west. Hope that's helpful. Happy mapping!

Note - due to an issue with JOSM, this changeset caused version bumps of some elements with "phone"/"contact:phone" tags that did not actually receive any tag or geometry changes.

Hi! Interesting - the street to the north is named "2100 South" in OSM and all of the street name signs I could find nearby only say "2100 S" but then I also now see that the Tiger 2023 overlay names this road "East 21st South" - quite confusing for someone in the armchair, so I'm glad there's a local mapper to help clarify things. Thanks! Happy mapping :)

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap! :)

It's great to see you getting started contributing, and thanks for using the "Review Requested" feature!

I took a look at your edit, and it does need a bit of touching up - playgrounds are mapped with the tag "leisure=playground" rather than "leisure=park" + "name=Playground", so go ahead and update those tags by removing the existing two and adding the corrected one.

There's an OSM Wiki article on playground mapping here: leisure=playground

and I use TagFinder to help me figure out what the correct tags for a feature are: https://tagfinder.osm.ch/

Try to avoid "descriptive naming" (there's a very exhaustive explanation here: osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only)

Again, welcome - there's a lot of depth to OSM editing, and it'll take a while to learn the ins and outs - thanks for participating, and happy mapping!

Hi! I see that you requested a review on this changeset.

I took a look and followed up in Changeset: 163141372 with a few very minor changes - just dropped the "addr:county" and "source:addr" tags and made some slight geometry updates.

No real issues with your changeset - thank you for your contribution!

Hi - in the future, please do not add "*=unknown" tags - just leave those blank. Happy mapping!

I appreciate the initiative to find instances of `building=yes` that can likely be updated based on their POI type, but please individually review these changes using aerial or street-level imagery to make sure that they are correct.

As @Sakari_N correctly points out, it is not always the case that a POI is at a building which was originally constructed in the design of that POI type.

Please also keep changesets localized (rather than scattered around the world)! This makes things easier for others to understand and review your changes.

I suggest also using a different editor (such as iD or Rapid) for these types of changes, as to not unintentionally mislead others when SCEE automatically adds the `source=survey` tag to your changesets.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I see that you requested a review of this changeset - looks good for the most part, though I'll note that OSM is generally not the place for advertise-y business descriptions.

I've removed that description and made a few other minor tag edits in changeset/161584165 - Thanks for your contribution, and happy mapping!

That has been made abundantly clear in these discussions. Undoing - especially by simplifying - the work that has been put in by other mappers is disrespectful. As others have said, you are of course free to (and welcome to!) map unmapped things in your preferred level of detail, leaving them up for others to iteratively refine, but please do not downgrade the detail added by others.

Don't worry - essentially everyone (myself definitely included!) makes some minor mistakes as they learn to map.

There's two approaches you could take to find the waste baskets you previously mapped as nodes on sidewalks:

By Overpass: Overpass Turbo (or Ultra) is a very powerful tool and a query like this should help:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1V1z
Click "Run" at the top left and wait (it will take a bit!)
I did my best to annotate and explain what each line does. (I'm not a software dev)

By changesets: OSMCha is a great resource and a query like this may help you find those earlier changesets:

https://osmcha.org/filters?aoi=914b9552-813c-4360-baa2-5a6a8c211759

Do let me know if you need any further help or have any additional questions. :)

Thanks for your contribution!
Local knowledge is a valid source, so feel free to add "name=Maple Park".
Happy mapping!
