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 :)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

This is a collaborative volunteer project intended to create an accurate map that anyone can use.

Please do not add fictional features to the map.

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.

Joseph Banks Native Plants Reserve is already mapped as a garden in its entirety, here: way/255598337

Hi again!
Is this beach actually called "cape hawke 2"? Or is that some kind of reference number?

107177104 over 4 years ago

Hi Edward,

Thanks for your recent contributions to OSM.

Just a bit of feedback - we generally use Title Case for place names.

I also have a question - is this beach James Corner or Janies Corner? I've heard of the latter before, but not the former.

Hiya dolores-sanchez!

Welcome to OSM!

Thanks for your addition to the map. I have updated this park from a node to an area, I also removed the duplicate node for the park that you put on the intersection of Cedar Street and Main Street - please keep in mind that OSM generally works on the idea of "one feature, one OSM element", so you normally shouldn't add features twice

Happy mapping!

Hi!

Is the college currently here, or is it just planned? Might be good to add a lifecycle prefix if it's not there yet.

osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

for now, I've changed this from a school to a college as it's not a k-12 equivalent institution.

Hi ShortCut815,

You've mapped a lot of these course features as parks (greens and bunkers for example).

This page...

leisure=golf_course

...lists the correct way to tag these features.
