Also, we're planning a building + address import project later this year that you're welcome to join. It uses existing OSM buildings as much as possible, just attaching the address for single-address buildings.

Hi, I usually leave the outline and change torn down buildings as demolished:building = yes until the imagery catches up. Otherwise other guest mappers may come along later and the building is re-added if there are no other clues like a construction zone or replacement features.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding this - the school name was already on the larger school grounds. The general OSM convention is to place the name on the larger object so it will display earlier when the map is zoomed out. Adding the name to the building also can cause the name to display twice in certain views.

toll=*

There's a sign there, but the OSM convention is "Only portions of way from which there is no "escape" except for a U-turn should be marked as toll. " , and in this case there's an exit to 153 without any toll. The other sections are similar.

The sections you have identified as toll do not actually require any toll to travel on - a vehicle might choose to exit before any toll booth. Why were these marked?

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! The address information normally has the house number listed separately from the street. I separated the address parts and placed them on a new node away from the edge of the property.

Excellent - and now with your local knowledge, it will direct people to turn in the right place from Dillard Road.

Welcome to OpenStreetmap! I was able to merge the nodes and connect the streets into one line. I saw a larger road off to the left and drew it as a driveway. Does it have a name? I couldn't tell from the latest TIGER roads layer.

The answer to latest imagery used to be easy, but with more sources this becomes complicated. In this case, Digital Globe Premium also had the latest when zoomed out.

Bing has the most recent update in the city of Greenville. In the surrounding areas, the Mapbox-enhanced and Digital Globe will usually be the latest at low zoom levels.

The latest road names for Spartanburg County are on a separate imager layer as outlined in the instructions for the Task Manager at https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/76 where we are reviewing 100% of the roads. Anyone is welcome to join in on that tasking manager. A good long term goal would be to be able to use official county data where available for the "Tiger comparison layer" so that there are no special cases.

Thanks for your help in updating the roads!

The road seen on Mapillary is in a different location (halfway between the old State Line road and the new State Line Road intersection.)

In this case, Bing and USGS are the most recent imagery and the road is disconnected.

Hi, existing roads do not need to have new roads added on top of them. I have removed the extra streets.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Please be careful when editing - the nodes of some streets were dragged and disrupted street routing. Existing baseball fields do not need to be retraced. Adding a name "baseball field" is not necessary since existing tags already identify it as a baseball field (sport=baseball / leisure=pitch ). This was reverted.

Hi, this appears to be a mistake. It only adds an operator to a node on the street. I cannot find any records of a company nearby.

63775937 about 7 years ago

Thank you for adding these. Although the towers here were added correctly as manmade structures, the normal convention is to just mark them as power=tower , with no more detail. For the line itself, power=line is fine, and you may add more information if known: such as operator (often Duke Energy), voltage (in volts) , and even an optional name such as 100KV transmission line

When the Wells Fargo, BB&T, and Publix were converted to Multipolygons, they became invalid Multipolygons with touching outer edges. I converted them back to buildings because it stopped the MS building analysis.

Thanks - I've updated these to lifecycle prefix.

This road is private, has no road signs, and already marked as noname=yes. Reverted in changeset/63451112

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thank you for the edit - I noticed that there were some duplicate entries for the park, so I merged them and changed the name back from 'South Carolina' to 'South Carolina Botanical Garden'.
