Hi dreamnevermore,

Welcome to OSM.

In your most recent changesets, you've incorrectly changed places to parks even if they're not (this university campus for example) and changed roads to footpaths...

OSM is a real world map used by real people for many reasons. Incorrect changesets waste everyone's time.

It looks like your mapping has been inspired by Pokemon GO, which is fine, but you need to only add real things in the correct way. Some of the changes you made here could even have a negative effect on the game in some circumstances.

Restoring*

This changeset reverts the following changesets:
75860293 75860221 75860142 75859970 75859857 75859818 75859398 75859372 75859333 75859224 75859161 75859069 75859041 75859006 75858991 75858964 75858868 75858833 75858780 75858734 75858574 75858347 75858279 75858165

A glacier inside a building... these beaches and cemeteries all over this university campus? You can't be serious...

Please do not add fictional features to OSM. I'm having to spend my night cleaning up your mess.

Clarkson University is already on the map, there is no need to duplicate additional unnamed university grounds inside of it.

You added a few beaches here... was that intentional?

Hi again Schmmidtty,

I'm probably going to comment on a few of your changesets, so apologies in advance.

You've added a lot of unnamed parked here in a very small space - what makes each area different? Could they be mapped as a single park area?

Hi Schmiddtty and welcome to OSM!
The two park areas you added here don't really look like parks... are you sure they meet the OSM definitions?
The larger area in particular looks much more like farmland (which is how it was mapped originally)

This is how we define parks on OSM:
leisure=park?uselang=en

OSM is a real world map used for many purposes by many individuals and organisations. Multiple mappers have had to clean up your fake additions when they could have been improving the map instead. Please stop wasting everyone's time.

Hi TFAAAP, welcome back to OSM.

Please note that we define parks in a certain way here: leisure=park?uselang=en

The area you've mapped here, which included roads, a parking lot, and a few houses does not qualify as a park.

Hi NatureWalks420. What are you trying to add here? These new additions don't really make any sense.

Hi Olivert,

Third battle Of Winchester seems more like it should be historic=battlefield or similar rather than a park - does the location have another name?

Hi Momo Lad and welcome to OSM.

Please be more careful with your changes and make sure you consult the OSM wiki on the best way to tag features.

You've added a lot of things that obviously don't exist, and also tagged a lot of things incorrectly such as placing parks in residential back yards, and marking driveways as footpaths.

You also added a lot of natural features like bare rock and grasslands where these features don't exist.

OSM is relied on by many organisations for many different purposes. It's important that you do your best to make sure that your contributions accurate and true to what is on the ground.

Hi Deecee83,

You created a small square of primary road between the residential buildings here:
highway=primary
It obviously wasn't correct unless this is the location of the world's smallest highway to nowhere, so I've removed them.

Park was the correct tag here, the playground is already mapped separately as a point/node.

Hey, thanks! I'm glad that you like the research threads :)

Hi The Roadtrain and welcome to OSM!

Thanks for your recent contributions!

This is just some feedback on your usage of key name= and the tag leisure=park:

Name= should be used for actual names, not descriptions where possible. Descriptions can generally be achieved using other tags.

Leisure=park as a distinct meaning on OSM. You can read more about it here: leisure=park?uselang=en. In the case of this changeset, a well does not qualify as a park.

Thanks again for contributing to the map, please feel free to reach out if you need any help.
