Welcome to OSM, John!

Thanks for your reply and for being open to feedback!

Another suggestion I have is to square up your buildings. In iD, you can select a feature and press the "Q" key on your keyboard to do this.
Alternatively, you can right-click a feature and then select the relevant square button that pops up.
Take your time doing this, it's a little extra effort but accurate buildings look so much better.

Are the paths you've added between houses publicly accessible? If they aren't, I'd suggest marking them as private. I'm also not sure if they'd all actually be considered paths based on imagery - are they all actively designated and used pathways or are they just places you could possibly walk through (like any open space?)

Hello again,

The correct tagging for driveways is highway=service and service=driveway. You've added a lot of these kinds of features as residential roads which is not correct.

Searching driveway in the iD editor will bring up the preset for you when you're tagging.

Have you checked out the OSM wiki yet? It's a great resource that might help you a lot with how to tag things correctly:

Hi,

You're adding a lot of natural water circles (such as way/972413110)

These actually appear to be pools, which have their own tagging scheme, leisure=pool (found in the iD editor by searching "pool")

You've also added small sections of grassland in a location that appears to be maintained... grassland is typically used for natural grassland areas such as the Prairie or the Plains of Mongolia.

As per previous changeset comment, private residential yards are not parks. This has been removed and DWG report has been raised.

Hi! Not sure if it's intentional, but you seem to have a whole heap of unclosed ways tagged as natural=wood that are glued to the outside of the closed wood relation. Example: way/970083751

Personally, I'd probably just leave the actual area untagged and add the path by itself.
If you wanted to get really detailed, something like landuse=grass might be more applicable than leisure=park.

Hi Michael,

Welcome to OSM!

Just checking that this is actually a park here? It looks very much like a regular pedestrian lane between blocks.

Hi Everoo,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

We define parks in a particular way on OSM, and that definition does not typically include private yards.

You can read more about mapping parks on OSM, here: leisure=park

OSM is a map of the real world. Please do not write on the map using features such as parks.

In this changeset, you wrote the word "SHADAB" using apartment buildings. Please do not add fictional features to the map, they will be removed.

Hi Tommy,

Not sure what you were trying to add here, but you dragged a few features out of place, and you seem to have added a personal bookmark.

If you need help adding something, feel free to reach out.

Hi Ali2020,

Welcome back to OSM!

Just wondering if these areas would be better as landuse=grass? natural=grassland implies they are unmaintained (think the prairie or the plains of Mongolia).

Also, is there a reason why you've drawn grass areas as several connected shapes rather than just drawing one shape for each grass area?

I've added etymology for the new name of the island, and also added the old_name tagging (obviously leaving the new name in its rightful place.) Let me know if you feel this is incorrect though.

As an aside, correcting my error in the above comment, the old name was in use for slightly less than a 100 years but still appears on a lot of historical maps and in recounts from the earlyish and middle parts of last century onwards.

Hi,
Do you think we should maintain the old name as old_name? While offensive, it was in official use for over 100 years.

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

Please do not make fictional edits to OSM, they will be removed.

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.

Hi nhymz,

This park is already on the map, here: relation/9748800
