Hi Narnian Peter,

Welcome to OSM!

In your future edits, can you please make an effort to use the changeset comments to describe what you've done?

Numbers and random letters aren't that helpful to the rest of the OSM community.

There's a great page on the OSM wiki which might help: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Hi Billphill87!
Welcome to OSM.
Looks like you had a few errors come up in this changeset. Your editor would have flagged those for you before you published, it's normally a good idea to check them.

I hope you don't mind, but I've resolved some of the intersecting footway errors and added some more based on Esri World Imagery.

Hiya Adam,

Please check my comment on your other changeset, here where you used similar tagging: changeset/107739006

The correct way to tag university campuses is as amenity=university. The tag amenity=school should be used for k-12 equivalent schools.

Hello,
OSM is a map of the real world.
The glacier, beach, lake, cave and other fictional features you have added over this house will be removed.
Please only add features that actually exist to OSM.
If you wish to add pretend features to a map, you can do so over at http://opengeofiction.net

Hi GiftedGengar,

Do you have more information about this house? Is it a historic site named Taylor Family House that the public can access or is that the family that currently lives here (or something in between)?

If it's the latter and it just pertains to the current residents, you shouldn't add personal information to OSM, and it's probably best to remove it.

This nature reserve is already on the map, here: relation/12193033#map=15/42.0762/-72.4042

Are you sure this is the same feature?

Hi! Welcome to OSM.
The correct way to tag a cemetery is as landuse=cemetery rather than as a place of worship. The name tag should also be reserved for actual names - do you know what this cemetery is called?
Happy mapping!

Hi, welcome to OSM!
Broomstick Ledges is already on the map as a polygon area, here: way/818583672
Is this unnamed park intended to represent the same feature?

Hiya!
You've got way/963500311/ as a layer -1 as it intersects the building... but it doesn't actually appear to do that?

Hi Adam_Kocur,

Welcome to OSM!

The correct way to tag a university campus is as amenity=university. The tag amenity=school should be used for primary, middle and high schools (or their equivalents.)

I've fixed this one for you :)

Hi!
Imagery here is pretty new and still shows some kind of structure - way/240583583 is it a covered pitch of some kind?

107520704 over 4 years ago

Another question: do you have any information about this other Remy park you added? way/945231376
I can't find any information on it.

Hello,

The correct way to mark buildings is with the building key. So to add a building you'd use tags like building=yes or building=house as appropriate.

Also, please do not add parks over private residential yards. This is not the correct usage of this tag. leisure=park

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi anonuser420,

Some time ago, I sent you a link to the OSM wiki page for parks. Note that private frontyards and random uninteresting bits of nature strip are not parks by OSM definitions.
