Hi kramar123,

Welcome to OSM!

When you publish your changes, they go live to the map, so please avoid uploading tests.

If you require any help, please feel free to reach out!

Hi!

Question - you're changing a lot of simple closed way areas into relations composed of several distinct ways. Is there a reason you're doing this?

I ask because by taking Vales Point Park as an example, that area is now composed of 6 distinct ways as opposed to just being 1 - which will make things a bit tricky for future editors and which also makes it much more likely someone is going to break something in the future without realising.

I'm not sure why iD didn't bring up error reports, but it can struggle a bit with larger relations from time to time. Whenever you're working with a larger relation it pays to manually doublecheck any changes you have made in iD.

Hiya Devin,
What is Aubrey’s Room? It has a name but no other tags.

Hello again,

You seem to have an intersection of the sale relation, here way/1006873855

way/1006873854

Is one of these lines possibly redundant?

Hello there!

I noticed Lake Macquarie had stopped rendering. It seems like you had accidentally left out the short ways on either side of this groyne (-33.0653527, 151.6408098).

I've added these ways as outers to the relation for the lake, so it (should, in theory) be a closed area again. Just thought I should let you know.

Cheers!

Hi Ruthlessmoose,

Welcome back to OSM!

I note that you have added a couple of parks over houses. Parks are defined in a certain way on OSM, and this doesn't include private residential yards.

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

Hi Eironmin,

In this changeset, you changed a building to a park and also created a big park covering many houses. I have corrected both of these issues for you.

Hi BirdMan3,
Is there a reason you moved a lot of the tagging for Stonehouse Wood Sanctuary from the area to a node?

Hi Andrew,
Welcome to OSM and thanks for your additions to the map.
The name tag should be reserved for actual names of things rather than descriptions. I have changed this bench from name=bench to amenity=bench as detailed here amenity=bench

Hi CamEigsti,

Welcome to OSM!

Please don't add personal information such as individual ownership of buildings or plots to the map.

You can read more about the limitations on adding private information, here: osm.wiki/Limitations_on_mapping_private_information

Thanks for the heads up, this should be fixed now.

Hi CoastalAU!

Welcome to OSM!

You've currently got this house marked as being named "Our Coast". Is that the name of the house? Do people live there or is it entirely dedicated to some form of organisation?

Hi AtlasDeric!
Welcome to OSM.
Rather than tagging these features as a park, maybe amenity=shelter ("shelter" via search in the editor) and tourism=viewpoint ("veiwpoint" via search in the editor) would be better to describe them?

There's also another park with the same name, that also appears to be over a private yard nearby: changeset/60854161

Hi MAsonlbkr,
Are you sure you've got this in the right place? The location looks very much like a yard with a large house and above ground pool.

Hi Jbb5775,

OSM typically works on the idea of "one feature, one OSM element."

osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

As this school is already on the map as an area, it doesn't need to also be added as a point.

I have moved the grade information you added onto the older, existing area and have removed the point.

Hi madiener,

Welcome to OSM.

You changed this: way/214635080/history house to a park, so I changed it back for you.

Best,

Wood

Hi redredredemption,
Sounds good, looks like you've done a really good job adding in more detail so far. I can't wait to see what it's like when you're done!

Hi redredredemption,
Thanks so much for the reply.
Typically in Australia, we'll use both recreation ground and park tagging depending on the feature.
It's a fine line, but typically I've found that if a green space is just a series of pitches and sports facilities, it would be mapped as either a recreation ground or sports complex (depending on the scale and complexity), whereas if the green space includes other features such as public playgrounds or picnic facilities it would be mapped as a park.
