Hi Schmmidtty, I just received your private message. Apology accepted. I'll respond in detail via DM.

Hi blackcat3434,

This location is already on the map:
way/82862977

On OSM there's a few principles we try to maintain for good practice, two of them are:
Not tagging for the renderer:
osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer
and
One feature, one OSM element:
osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

If a particular renderer isn't displaying national parks, that's an issue with the renderer, not with OSM.

Yeah, this individual has openly admitted to mapping for Pokemon GO in the past, and unfortunately they seem to represent the small sub-section of the GO community who treat OSM like a game map editor rather than respecting the project for what it is.

Adding fictional parks and paths is unfortunately a very common behaviour for less than honest GO inspired mappers.

I promise that we're not all like that.

How is all of this a nature reserve?
leisure=nature_reserve
It has a school right in the middle of it?

What makes this a recreation ground?
landuse=recreation_ground
"An open green space for general recreation, which often includes formal or informal pitches, nets and so on."

Please do not add fictional parks to OSM. This is a real world map used for many purposes. Your fake edits will be removed.

Hello :)
You changed the Asian Elephant Exhibit to a park in this changeset. Does it still contain elephants? If so, leisure=park probably isn't correct by OSM standards: leisure=park

77470329 about 6 years ago

Hi there! It looks like you have this park (at least partially) over houses - are you sure that's correct?

77489335 about 6 years ago

Are you sure this is called Horse Lake Department Store? It seems a little small for a department store.

Please watch your spelling and case - we use Title Case on names of things.

That's really great to hear - I spent days working through some of these footways and feel like I barely made any changes. In the end I started to burn out, so I put it on the back-burner.

Are you local? I found imagery in this location really lacking at the time, and mapillary simply didn't cover a lot of the streets.

The area around this note:
note/1927045 was what finally broke me. Maybe you'll have better luck :'D

77408571 about 6 years ago

Whoops, that was intended for the note on this park 😅

77408571 about 6 years ago

Added in changeset #77408571

Hi Wenzheng Xu,

Please note that OSM is a public map that everyone can see. Do not add personal details here such as your home or specific routes that you personally travel.

Okay... well OSM isn't just a pokemon GO map editor, it's a real world map used for many purposes.

I really can't see how either of these could be considered grass:

Links to areas:
way/745505964
way/745505963

OSM defines parks in a specific way:
leisure=park?uselang=en

This definition does not include farm land.

Besides, landuse=farmland has practically the exact same effect on Pokemon GO as leisure=park - they both create nests and they both can generate EX eligible gyms. If that's what you're trying to do, there's absolutely no need to add park tagging to the farm field.

If you just map accurately and add only real features and tagging, it should have a positive effect on both OSM and GO :)

77099553 about 6 years ago

In the changeset you've changed farmland to parks and added several patches of grass where there doesn't appear to be any (including in the middle of an intersection - why?

77083456 about 6 years ago

Hi and welcome back to OSM!

A couple of questions/comments:
1) Are the hydrants still active? If so, it's probably best to tag them with emergency=fire_hydrant.
2) There's no need to mark each park entrance with a new park - this is typically implied by the road being near or going into the larger park area. Typically it's best to follow the "One feature, one OSM element" rule here.

76935030 about 6 years ago

No problem - I fixed it for you already. If you're using the browser based ID editor, you can find the tagging preset by looking up "parking lot" :)

76933417 about 6 years ago

In this changeset you've created at least 3 different areas for Giffin Park... including one that used to be a wetland.

osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Hi and welcome to OSM...
You've added recreation_ground tagging to features here that really shouldn't have it - why are the toilets a recreation ground as an example?

76929712 about 6 years ago

OSM is a real world map used by many people for many purposes. Please do not add fictional features to the map, they will be removed.
