Hi OpenVegeMap -- Can you put up some information about this project on your OSM user profile? See for example the wheelmap_vistor user: @wheelmap_visitor

Sorry, finger slipped -- changeset comment should have been "improve road alignment", source should have been "nyorthos;mapbox satellite"

Hi devratc -- There's now a building in the location where you added this service road, so I believe you're working with outdated information.

Currently, the newest aerial imagery available in the NYC area is from Mapbox -- but the imagery alignment is not great.

Next most recent is the New York Orthos/ESRI World Imagery. These two are the same aerial imagery but the New York Orthos version has better alignment (while the ESRI version has slightly higher resolution.)

The oldest is the Bing aerial imagery. Bing's alignment is good but the images are several years old and many things have changed.

If possible, please communicate this information to your peers and supervisors at Amazon Logistics.

I've removed this service road and added the new building at 603 Mother Gaston Boulevard (changeset/80731900).

Thanks, jmapb

Hello amitbish, thanks for your edits in NYC.

Just a note about modifying buildings in NYC: Most buildings are tagged with a "nycdoitt:bin" value that allows referencing back to the city's Department of Buildings database. If you reuse an old building footprint for a new one please remove the "nycdoitt:bin" value so we'll know it's a new building. (You can search for building IDs and other info at http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/bispi00.jsp )

I've already fixed the building here at the corner of Pulaski and Throop, so don't worry about this one.

Thanks, Jason

I agree, BlaueBlüte -- I've just reverted to footway with appropriate bicycle tags, changeset/80117201

Hi bhilton... I noticed you removed the tags for the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project from node/6798051745 . Their website still claims they are at this location, is this no longer true?

Hi, just noticed this pedestrian street with an expiration date. I haven't surveyed myself but as far as you know this is back to a residential road now?

Hi hofoen -- is there fresh aerial data suggesting that these buildings should be square in the back, or is this maybe a mistake? Mapbox imagery is the most recent as far as I know, and it still shows the canted angles on the side of 120 and the backs of 122 and 124.

I couldn't find any specific tag for wine storage so I just tagged it as storage rental and added a description.

Definitely better not to have it tagged as craft=winery, though, so it won't come up if someone's trying to do a tour of wineries.
(Seems like there's only two on https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PxO but I think there are a couple missing.)

Hi AV, is this really a winery? From the website it appears that it's just a place to store wine.

Hi again, your "minor adjustments" in this changeset and 78855691 include removing the names from 8 bus stops, in addition to the bus stop names you removed in changeset/78855654. What's the source for these changes? Has the signage changed on these bus stops?

Hi tylerchill -- did you mean to remove the name from these two bus stops? If so, do they no longer have names?

Hi happygo -- I think amenity=cafe is actually the best tag we have at the moment for Setugekka and other teahouses. Shop=tea is meant for a store that sells tea leaves to be brewed at home.

There's a proposal underway for amenity=teahouse but it's sort of stalled for now.

(See shop=tea and osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Teahouse )

By the way, thanks for all of your edits and additions in NYC! Jmapb

I've fixed the inscription based on the photo at the parks dept website. If I'm mistaken and this plaque has changed to the nonsensical version that I removed, please let me know.

Hi Djbeadle, what's up with the inscription you wrote for this monument: node/7058463050

"restaurants around New York screw your support" ??

Pretty sure that's not what it says.

Hi flaixsimon, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding these bars and restaurants.

In this changeset you've added a restaurant called Zenkichi to an existing address node that had the address 77 North 6th Street 11249. In addition to adding the restaurant, it seems you changed the zip code to 11211.

11211 was the old zipcode for this area of Williamsburg. That zip code was split ten years ago (pretty recently as zip code history goes) with everything on the west side of Bedford becoming 11249. So 11249 is the correct zip code for this location.

Is it possible you're getting your restaurant info from an outdated source?

If I can help clear up this or anything else, let me know, happy to help.

Thanks, jmapb

Hi narle, welcome to Open Street Map!

As requested, I'm reviewing this change you made to the map. You've added a small building behind 237 Putnam, but I don't see any building there on recent aerial imagery. Is this building new?

Thanks, J

Hi Sanjay, thanks for your interest in OpenStreetMap.

Please realize that the changes you make affect the actual map data used by millions of people worldwide. So don't map things that aren't real.

I've reverted the changes you've made here. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi brandonbds -- What's the thinking behind tagging all these ferry routes as access=destination? Thanks, j

Hello DACDTC. You seem to be adding a bunch of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream locations around NYC. But there are several problems with these additions.

1 - This appears to be an import of data into the map. OSM requires imports to be discussed beforehand with the import mailing list. See osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines
2 - These appear to be what we call "organised edits" on the behalf of a particular organisation. Please read osm.wiki/Organised_Editing and follow the guidelines there as well.
3 - You're not using any changeset comments. Please use changeset comments.
4 - You're not setting a "created_by" tag on your changsets. Please set this tag with a description of the software used to make the edits.
5 - You're not setting a "source" tag on your changsets. Knowing the source of data is vital to ensure that OSM has a license to use that data. This includes the source of the map coordinates used to place the nodes in question. This is especially important for imports.
6 - Some of the locations you've added are already on the map. Please don't double-map.
7 - The website links you're adding seem to contain referrer links -- this is not allowed. Please use the minimal URL that will specify the location in question.
8 - You're tagging these "amenity=amenity|ice_cream". This is nonstandard tagging and is highly unlikely to be parsed or rendered in any useful way.

Please reply with your plan to address these issues, thanks, jmapb
