| 99132666 | almost 5 years ago | Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thank you for adding a new sidewalk to the map. Just a small note for the future. Looks like you added the sidewalk inside the street area. If you look at the Bing or Mapbox imagery the sidewalk is quite a few feet from where is should be. Next time you edit the it helps to check more than one imagery source to make sure everything aligns up correctly. Don't worry too much this small mistake. I've already fixed it for you. |
| 97266496 | almost 5 years ago | Small tip: there is no need to add tiger metadata to anything. Tiger metadata is from a the massive Tiger data Import way back in 2007 to 2009. Further reading: osm.wiki/TIGER |
| 96769594 | almost 5 years ago | Why add golf cart paths to all the highways? |
| 95772357 | about 5 years ago | About road side parking, it is better to tag the road with "parking:lane" than to make mini parking lots. Be use to read the wiki very carefully. It's going to get complicated.

| 95515074 | about 5 years ago | Hello there! Welcome to Corpus. I've got some tips for you. When adding a road that is covered by a build/overhang, do not use layer=-1. Instead split the road where it intersects the building. Then add covered=yes to the part covered by the building. Example: way/883297502#map=19/27.81950/-97.39014 |
| 95597287 | about 5 years ago | Hello, I noticed you changed a service road to a track. When a road leads to a house or another site such as an oil well it should be tagged as a driveway. Even if said road is 7 miles long and in the middle of a ranch. I've already fixed the tagging. It's possible you were only copying the tagging of the surrounding roads which were also mistakenly tagged as tracks. They too should have been driveways. |
| 95543484 | about 5 years ago | I noticed you changed a service road to a track. You’re not entirely wrong. The wiki for highway=track does say, “This tag represents roads for mostly agricultural use, forest tracks etc.; often unpaved (unsealed) but may apply to paved tracks as well, that are suitable for two-track vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps.” However it also says, “Roads which provide access to a specific property, such as residential driveways or industrial access roads, should be tagged highway=service or a higher road class.” Based on this latter statement I have been tagging roads which lead to oil wells, storage tanks, other industrial locations as driveways (highway=service, service=driveway, access=private) or at the very least just a service road. |

| 94959679 | about 5 years ago | A reminder. This is a live map. Any changes you make will effect everyone who uses the map. Please do not upload tests. If you have any questions about how the map or editing works, you can ask the community or check the wiki. |
| 95300148 | about 5 years ago | Ok so this is going to take some explaining. First of all the imagery your are using (Bing in this case) is outdated. Here in the vast brush lands of Texas most imagery will be many years out of date. You best bet is to choose Texas NAIP Imagery 2018 or the Maxar Imagery. Sometimes Maxar will be the most up to date, other times it will be the NAIP. In this changeset what you thought was a mere dirt road is in fact a service road leading to an oil well and storge tanks. The oil industry moves very fast. What was an empty field one year can suddenly become a major oil processing plant. Things change much faster than the imagery. You must check with multiple imagery sources before making changes or you risk missing out on import changes. Next point, road types. You changed a service road to a track. You’re not entirely wrong. The wiki for highway=track does say, “This tag represents roads for mostly agricultural use, forest tracks etc.; often unpaved (unsealed) but may apply to paved tracks as well, that are suitable for two-track vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps.” However it also says, “Roads which provide access to a specific property, such as residential driveways or industrial access roads, should be tagged highway=service or a higher road class.” Based on this latter statement I have been tagging roads which lead to oil wells, storage tanks, other industrial locations as driveways (highway=service, service=driveway, access=private) or at the very least just a service road. tl;dr – Use more than one imagery source, driveways not tracks. |
| 94998598 | about 5 years ago | New park named after the famous exploding whale incident. https://www.oregonlive.com/travel/2020/06/now-you-can-visit-exploding-whale-memorial-park-on-the-oregon-coast.html |
| 94593356 | about 5 years ago | Walgreens is not an apartment building, the movie theater is not a house and the hotel is also not a house. This user is recreating the same vandalism as banned users, Northridge 8 and celltowerm.

| 94586726 | about 5 years ago | This is still a park, not a movie theater. This user is recreating the same vandalism as banned users, Northridge 8 and celltowerm.

| 94586582 | about 5 years ago | While this dive-in theater is closed for the season, it has not been converted into a park. This user is recreating the same vandalism as banned users, Northridge 8 and celltowerm.

| 93861915 | about 5 years ago | Hello and welcome to OpenStreeMap! Thank you for your edits to the map. Just one minor note for future edits. When adding a name to a road please do not use aberrations (Drive, not Dr). Don't worry too much about it, I have already adjusted the map to fix the names. |
| 93539676 | about 5 years ago | cover=yes is a better fit than tunnel=building_passage. Building passage is used when going through a building and there are wall on both side. The "building" here is just a roof over the road. Therefore the road is 'covered'. |
| 93430811 | about 5 years ago | There is only one Cinemark in Amarillo and it's 4 miles to the south. Why did you change this park to nonexistent movie theater? |
| 93430656 | about 5 years ago | I have not found any data suggesting Western Crossing and all the surround businesses are gone. For what reason did you delete all these businesses and roads? |
