Understanding common mapping issues is helpful to know difficulties faced by new mappers and can give insight into improving the editors for a better mapping experience. Here are some of the issues observed between 4 July - 15 July on the map:

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building=house tags added to the nodes of the buildings: 1, 2. These were reverted.
• Roads without any tags: 1. Asked for clarification.
• Deletion of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=track ways without explanation or source: 1 . Asked for clarification.
• Roads were deleted as they are ‘not public’: 1, 2. Community responded asking for clarification.
• Duplicate buildings & incorrect tags: 1, 2, 3. Community responded with a comment.
• Deleted roads: 1, 2. Commnunity responded with a comment.
• Deleted https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=residential tags: 1, 2. Asked for clarification.
• Deleted https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=primary roads: 1. Asked for clarification.
• Overlapping buildings: 1. Community responded with a comment.
• Added duplicates of few buildings: 1. Was fixed by the community.

It is always good to let the user know of the mistake to encourage active, qualitative contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Look forward to another roundup next week.
