I've noticed that you've added POIs right next to existing POIs. Why is that? If there was additional information that could have been added to the POIs, why was that not done instead?

Please go through osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Hello, and welcome to OSM. I see that you've been adding a lot of data, which is good. However, almost all of the edits are of bad quality, such as buildings added on top of existing buildings, spelling mistakes in names, roads being moved around, and buildings being of random shapes, not squared off or going over roads. You don't see this in real life, do you?

Please go through the OSM beginners guide: https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/

If you have questions on how you should make edits, please approach the community: https://community.osm.be/resources/asia/india/

Remember that this is a shared space and the map is used by everyone in that area, and also for use cases such as navigation. It is therefore critical that the changes we make to the map are in good faith and helpful. I've reverted many of the changes you made which had damaged the existing map, but I suggest you go through them and ask yourself - is this making the map better?

Hi nafis21
Is there a reason why you have edited roads like this? What is the meaning behind the changeset comment 'stackbox'? I see that your image source is Bing maps, but your roads do not align to Bing Maps images at all.

What does the source = stackbox mean? Is this source open and verifiable?

Is this an organised editing effort? If so, who is in charge of the activity?

Hi Kanhaia
I see that you've been adding roads to OSM, which is great. However, the source says StackBOX everywhere. Is this a publicly available source, or what is the significance of the source?

Also, all changeset comments just seem to say StackBOX. What does this mean? Please go through the OSM guidelines on changeset guidelines: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments#:~:text=A%20good%20changeset%20comment%20should,have%20edited%20on%20the%20map.

Also, I notice that StackBox seems to be a company. In this case, please follow the organised editing guidelines if there are multiple people editing OSM as part of an organised editing group: osm.wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines

This is not a swamp area. I see similar random landcover marked nearby. Since what is drawn here does not match ground reality, I'm reverting edits which do not match ground reality in this area.

Can you provide an explanation about why these edits were made?

Hello
Welcome to OSM! I see that you've been editing buildings across the map and that's a great start. However, I've noticed that even though you have been using Bing Maps as the imagery, your buildings do not match the imagery. Have you read the guidelines about drawing buildings? osm.wiki/Roof_modelling
If not, please do. I also noticed that your buildings are snapped to roads. When you do this, then that is incorrect. Roads never touch buildings in real life, do they? They go under or above maybe but do not touch buildings. Please go through the beginner's guide to OSM before making any further edits: osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Also, I noticed all of your changeset comments say "newedit". That is not a descriptive changeset comment. You should always describe what you are editing, why you are editing, etc. Please read through osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments to understand how to add meaningful changeset comments.

Remember that OSM is a community effort, and is used by millions of people, companies and organisations worldwide so it is important that your contributions are meaningful. If you are not sure of how to proceed, please approach the OSM India community https://community.osm.be/resources/asia/india/
