The website link doesn't work for me. Is this company, Oregon's Best Mortgage, still in business?

I've removed this name for now and then name of the private residence across the street. If this refers to a company, please add additional tags to be used for verifiability.

I've removed the name of this private residence

I've walked by here and can confirm that the node and area refer to the same thing. I've combined the two objects and changed the tagging from shop=photo to craft=photographer as that seems to better fit what this business does.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap. I changed some of this around (connection roads and paths, formatting addresses and opening hours, etc). Hopefully I still retained the essence of what you have added. Let me know if you have any questions.

What is "Blue Diamond Enterprises"?

44549161 almost 9 years ago

Yeah, the JOSM validator sometimes doesn't pick up things the first time (may have to do with the subset of OSM objects it is considering based on the context). You can try running the JOSM validator multiple times before and after uploading.

This particular problem with service roads not connecting up to nearby roads seems fairly common. For example:
way/27401001
way/463020143

way/463020067
way/125831179

If you have a chance, can you review your own changsets to find these?

Please be careful that the roads you are creating actually connect to the other roads. I've seen some of your service road additions where it fails the "Way end node near other highway" JOSM validator test.

Where does the "Big Blue" name come from. Is this something other than a single family residential property?

Thanks for updating some local hospitals.

I'm trying to standardize formatting of phone numbers to +1-xxx-xxx-xxxx format (same as what you entered, except using dash "-" instead of space " " for the separator).

For the website URL, it's better to stick to the simplest form, such as:
http://www.kaiserpermanente.org/
The drawback is that it doesn't link to the specific facility, but it's much less likely to break over time when they update their website.

I'm trying to standardize phone number formats. Do you mind breaking up US phone numbers into groups of 3 numbers (3-digit area code, 3-digit exchange, 4-digit number)? So here instead of "+1-425-6469602", it would be "+1-425-646-9602". Thanks.

This looks good. I think I had already done something similar for some of the streetcar stops where I separated the platform from the sidewalk.

34458941 about 9 years ago

I agree that the sidewalk should be named the same as the road that it parallels: "Northeast Holladay Street".

Would it make sense to not have the platform and the sidewalk be the same Way object? What if we made the 2 parallel Ways with the platform being closer to the tracks and the sidewalk being closer building?

I'm generally not in favor of appending "MAX Station" to the name of every MAX station. Those words are of course omitted in maps like this:

Locals don't recognize phone numbers in the formats you are suggesting. Using either of those formats for the United States goes against well established local conventions. If you read further on that wiki page:

"Some countries have very well established national standards on how telephone numbers are written (e.g. xxx-xxx-xxxx in the US)"
...
"even in this case, the "+1-xxx-xxx-xxxx" format for the NANP standard should be explicit"

42108998 about 9 years ago

Hi, I'm trying working to standardize on phone number formatting in my local area and it looks like you are doing something similar. All phone numbers in the NANP system (USA, Canada, and some islands) have 10 digits grouped as a 3-digit area code, 3-digit exchange, and 4-digit number. For this business, I have used "phone=+1-503-227-8373" Would you mind using a similar format for the phone numbers you are are editing?

34538897 about 9 years ago

It looks like there's some confusion with the changes you've made. For bike lanes, rather than creating new Way objects with cycleway=lane tags, these tags should be added to the existing roads in OSM. However, a lot of the existing roads in OSM already have this information tagged on them. I can try to clean this up at some point. Is there anything beside adding bike lane information that you are trying to accomplish with these changes?

35917997 about 9 years ago

I've reverted these changes. Please refrain from adding vulgar slang names to OpenStreetMap.

I'll write up a wiki page with the rationale behind the tagging.

39695450 over 9 years ago

In this changeset, I noticed that you moved some restaurants around to locations that don't make sense (the middle of an intersection). Please be aware that your edits are live on the global OpenStreetMap database and not intended just for your personal use. I've reverted this changeset in changeset/41839106

The ODOT "Moving Ahead" newsletter from September 2006 contains a trivia question (page 6):

"Which portion of the interstate was once known as Minnesota Freeway?"

http://www.odotmovingahead.com/2006/09/

I can't find the official answers to these trivia questions, but just the question alone would seem to suggest we use "old_name=Minnesota Freeway" instead of "name=Minnesota Freeway"
