Hi,

Welcome to OSM and thanks so much for your edits so far :)

Penguin park was already on the map as an area, here: way/503898318

There's no need to add a node/point for it as well, so I've removed the duplicate you added.

Please don't add fantasy areas to OSM. Your edit has been removed.

No problem!

I always get nervous when I see you comment on one of my changesets and wonder if I've done something wrong :'D

I'm not really sure that park is the best tag for this - is it a track road?

This is how OSM defines a park:
leisure=park

Hi Vapor - the correct way to mark a boat landing is as a slipway:
leisure=slipway

I have received a response from the Economic Development Developer (who has been extremely helpful). There is no B&B at this location at this time, and there is no park as either the local government or OSM defines it.

Adamant1, point well taken - in most cases of obvious Pokemon Go inspired vandalism, I completely agree. However, as the OSM wiki describes, I do try to give the benefit of the doubt where I can. In this particular case, the vandal had gone to the extent of doctoring images, creating a website and listing false details about this location on other databases/services. If nothing else, one has to admire their determination and creativity.

Hi there! You removed the fixme from Delaware Road Playground in this changeset but didn't mention why - were you able to confirm it is still called this? The name has been removed from the current NSW LPI basemap.

Hi,

You shouldn't use the name= tag for descriptions. Name= should be reserved for actual names of things. osm.wiki/Names

Also, some of the paths you're adding here don't really seem to exist, especially the ones that pass through parks with surface=grass - what's the difference between the paths and the rest of the park?

Hi DNAsmoothie, further to TravGW's point above, are you able to clarify the source of these footways? There's no GPS traces at the location and I have to admit that they don't make much sense.

Response received from Economic Development Director for the City of Centralia stating that they are not presently aware of either Dogwood B&B or Meadow Park, but will investigate further

The mapper in question has now sent me another private message threatening that they and their friends will mass report me for this changeset.

For the sake of record keeping the same user:

changeset/69878880
Changed park to landuse=military on way/584066649
Removed existing parks (ways
637264499 and 468888198)

Added a park at this same location but with totally different geometry:
69891502

The same location has been subject to vandalism, including writing with footways and multiple fake parks added by other users with similar naming schemes such as harryrooster1990.

I am happy to discuss this matter with any member of the DWG at any time.

I am also attempting to make direct contact with the City of Centralia's "See Centralia" service in order to gain more information on this location regarding both the park and the Bed and Breakfast

Note: Mapper has contacted me via private message regarding this removal requesting a way to upload photos of the location. I have provided several options and offered to assist as required when it comes to getting correct data onto the map.

I still consider this removal valid as each time the mapper has modified this location their changes have been significantly different with the boundaries of the "park" and footways varying wildly.

Please do not add pretend features to OSM.

All discussion above, I still wouldn't map the park so that the majority of it is South Main Street - this isn't accurate to what is on the ground - osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground

If both sides of the street are the same park, maybe create a multipolygon with two areas for the park - I don't see how anyone could argue that a road as wide as South Main is part of a park.

Hi!

Is park really the best tag for this feature? It might be better as a slipway or similar.

leisure=slipway

Hi - you've added Olinger Park so that the majority of the mapped area just covers South Main street - is the park the area between South Main and South Columbia?

This changeset comment doesn't match what you did here. Did you intend to add a park surrounding these farm buildings?

Please check the OSM wiki for more info on how parks are definied on OSM: leisure=park

Park in the middle of the highway has been removed. As another mapper has already requested, please do not add fictitious features to the map.

If you need help adding something real but you can't quite work it out, just let us know :)

That doesn't really fit the definition for recreation ground:

landuse=recreation_ground

"An open green space for general recreation, which often includes formal or informal pitches, nets and so on."

You could walk or run along pretty much any street in pretty much any suburban subdivision - it doesn't make them a recreation ground. If I was to turn up to Kingland Drive on any given day, it would probably just look like any other street.
