For example, (way/125083408) with `hov:lanes=1` should be `lanes:hov=1`.

The way you used `hov:lanes`=* for Century Freeway is correct (way/882322789)

I noticed that this changeset seems to be using `hov:lanes`=* to denote how many lanes are HOV lanes, when this tag should be used to denote which lanes are HOV lanes as outlined on the wiki (hov=*#hov:lanes=*). Instead, `lanes:hov`=* should be used (see lanes=*#Description).

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! It appears that this changeset adds a bar in the middle of Science Grove, however it doesn't look like this is reflected in aerial imagery. Can you confirm whether this was placed in the correct place?

Hi and welcome to OSM!

It appears that this changeset adds access=no to a trail. According to RLIS, this property is owned by Metro and City of Gresham. There is also evidence that this is a regularly traveled trail from Strava heatmap. Unless it's specifically signed prohibit access from the general public, access=no shouldn't be added to this path.

It appears this changeset adds 'religion=buddhist' to nodes that are apart of ways that had 'denomination=buddhist' (for example node/2470898423).

From what I understand, that paragraph applies to well documented cases such as 'St.' placenames in the UK. The consensus seems to be to expand directional prefixes/suffixes on street names regardless or not if this is what governmental agencies list them as. For example, (way/114035456) is named 'Southwest Roy Rogers Road' despite it 'officially' being listed as 'SW Roy Rogers Rd' on RLIS and physical signs. Regardless, I encourage you to continue this discussion on either the forum (https://c.osm.org) or the OSMUS Slack (https://openstreetmap.us/slack) to allow other mappers to weigh in.

The same can be said for almost every street in the US, spelling out street names is just one of OSM's conventions. This allows for data consumers such as renderers and routers to choose whether or not to abbreviate them.

Hi,
Thanks for adding these addresses. Please note however that we don't abbreviate street names in OSM, including directional prefixes (see osm.wiki/abbreviation)

amenity=hospital should only be used for hospital grounds, I would use building=hospital for the buildings

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for mapping these houses/addresses. Quick tip: you can square corners of a building by pressing 'q' when selecting it.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for mapping these houses. Please note however that the name field isn't used to describe features in OSM (see osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions).

Just because it doesn't exist on USGS doesn't mean this isn't a real place name. West Hazel Dell is one of the neighborhood associations in Clark County, all of which were imported from CCGIS.

In OSM, we only map current features, not places from 1956. If you're interested in mapping historical places like these, I recommend taking a look at https://openhistoricalmap.org/

As noted on the OSM Wiki, `place=locality` is used in OSM for named places without a population, which Happy Valley definitely is not. (place=locality)

Hi,

I noticed you changed Camas from a town to a suburb.

As noted on the OSM Wiki "OSM's usage of 'suburb' is different than that used by North American English, where a suburb is "an area, often residential, outside of a central city". Often these suburbs are distinct settlements and will be tagged as place=village, place=town, or place=city, depending on factors such as population."
(place=suburb)

In other words, incorporated places like Camas should be classified as a city/town/village in OSM whilst suburb/quarter/neighborhood are used for neighborhoods within these incorporated places or unincorporated places such as CDPs.

Hi,
What is your reasoning for moving the place node for Beaverton and changing it from city to town? As mentioned on the wiki (place=city), city/town nodes should be placed at the 'center' of the city. I believe the previous location at the center of old town or city hall would be more appropriate than the middle of the 217 auxiliary lane.

In OSM, towns (place=town) are considered to be larger than villages, but smaller than cities. While there isn't a set cutoff for what is considered a city or town, in the Portland metro area incorporated places with 50K or more people are typically tagged as cities while those less are tagged as towns and villages.

Hi,
Just curious what source you used for the airport terminals you added near the fire station (ie way/1250050984). Based on Bing imagery, this seems to just be the place where modular pieces of the new terminal roof are constructed before being transported over to the main terminal.
