Hi Professor John Finklestein,

Welcome back to OSM. The park you added here appears to intersect buildings and roads.

I'm also unable to find a reference to a Zetrouer Park at all in any resource.

Noting that when you were last active you added some parks over houses in a similar fashion, are you able to provide more information about this park?

Cheers!

Hi, welcome to OSM!

Thanks for your contributions so far.

Before you get too far into things, you should be aware that leisure=park tagging is not correct for greens or tees on golf courses.

The following wiki pages should help:

leisure=golf_course

golf=tee

golf=green

Hi, what are these parks you've added? Orange River is half on a road, and Louise has a very weird name.

I have reverted this changeset. Please respond to the original comment by emersonveenstra with more information. If required this park can be restored pending further information.

Hi raegan_rosi_wju,

You would have gotten quite a few warnings before you uploaded this changeset. This is because you duplicated a section of South Liberty Street.

The park you added was also already on the map.

I have reverted the changes you made here. If you are trying to do something in particular, please feel free to reach out.

Hi! You can square up buildings in iD and the also in the map builder tool by selecting them and pressing "Q" on your keyboard.

This doesn't make any sense - there are multiple parking lots that look like they can only be accessed via this road. Suggestion - keep the original service road tagging and set appropriate cycle access tagging in addition to that.

This change is obviously incorrect and has been reverted. Porterville Developmental Center is not a park.

Hi,

I'm not sure leisure=park is the best tag to be used on an area like this.

Maybe historic=district instead?

historic=district

Park removed in changeset/127972855

Hello, welcome to OSM.

In this changeset, you created a park over multiple houses. This is obviously incorrect

You also changed all of the residential roads in this general area into living streets. This is likely not the correct usage of this tag.

I have reverted this changeset.

Thanks for the reply!

If the full name is "John James Park" then it should be moved on to the area (along with any other tags that aren't there yet) and the informal name should either be added as an alt_name or loc_name. After that's done, the node duplicating the park should be removed.

osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element.

leisure=nature_reserve is probably the most basic tagging you can use:
leisure=nature_reserve

There's also the protected area tags depending on the nature of the location, but they're a little more complex: boundary=protected_area

My main suggestion would be to spend a bit of time on the wiki, it's really helpful :)

You created a wildlife park here. This is not correct and the addition has been removed.

Hello,

You removed the road tagging from Babbitt Road and South Drive in this changeset. I have restored those tags.

Hello,
Does Red Pine Run Park also include the Disc Golf Course and baseball fields?
I noticed you also added a park over St Pius Catholic Church - this does not appear to be a park.

Hi Amy,

Welcome to OSM! When adding features like parks, it's generally better to map them up until where they stop rather than connecting them to the middle of roadways and other features like railroads.

I adjusted Middleton City Park if you wanted to take a look and see what I mean.

Also, what's the difference between Cherokee Landing Campground and the park you added there? They kind of seem to represent the same feature?

Hello,

Please do not add fictional features to OSM.

If you are making edits like this for Pokemon GO, Niantic has likely already pulled the data they intend to use in the recently announced update.

Hi beachpunk!

Welcome to OSM.

Just a quick hint - you can square features in the iD editor (the map editor) by selecting them and pressing "Q" on your keyboard.

Hi Jennnnnnny,

Welcome to OSM! Please be aware that this is a public map and that you should only add verifiable features. Flagstaff Gardens is already mapped as a park here, personal opinions or individual experiences such as "Beautiful sunlight place" are not something we typically add to the map.
