When a new user from Paris adds a "Secret Military Base" airfield in the middle of a park as their first edit without any kind of source, I am inclined to view it as a joke or vandalism. A view which was reinforced by several dragged nodes in San Francisco and Paris. To me this has all the markings of someone who is making edits for laughs.

There could very well be some type of military installation in the park in Hong Kong. However I would like a better source than the Bing imagery cited in the original changeset.

As for the size of this changeset, yes I could have made three different changesets. But as this one is a complete revert of another changeset, it's simplifies matters to have only one changeset should a mistake be made and the revert itself needs to be reverted.

This changeset has been reverted. There is no secret military base in the middle of a park. Please not make fictional edits. You also moved several nodes out of place.

Just a little note so you know what to look for next time. When you changed several neighborhoods to landuse=residential, you also deleted the place=neighborhood tag. Keep an eye out for changes like that when working with the online editor.

This is a movie cinema, not a house.

This is a dive-in theater, it has not been converted into a park.

The I-35 / TX-236 area is under going massive construction which the Mapbox imagery does not show. Please use the National Agriculture Imagery Program imagery when mapping Corpus Christi if possible.

You made a common mistake. This community USPS box is not a post box/mail box. It is a letter box.
Post box = mail drop off box.
Letter box = individual boxes where customers receive their mail.

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.

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

Why add golf cart paths to all the highways?

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.
parking:lane=*

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
