Hi, you re-added highway=service tags to some now-demolished parking aisles in a construction site. That doesn't make any sense. They had been tagged as disused:highway specifically to prevent armchair mappers from re-adding them...

I don't think it's really accurate to call the tracks south of Warm Springs service=yard. They're part of the mainline and currently undergoing active train testing.

Also, every single BART station has the stop position at the front of the train. An argument could be made that they should be at the center instead, but for consistency it doesn't make sense to have only one side of one station mapped differently from the other 48+.

It looks like your recent edits here created some gaps in at least a couple of routes, and broke at least one of the Pittsburg-Bay Point route relations through Downtown Oakland (It was shown running on two parallel tracks(?) That's not accurate). Please be more careful; public transport routes are complicated and easy to mess up.

It would also be nice if your edit descriptions described what you were trying to do, instead of just mashing the keyboardhfivodhsf,

I see a number of stops here (and a few in other changesets) where you have removed the shelter=no tag. Please don't do that. It's just as valuable to know which bus stops *don't* have a shelter as it is to know which ones do, and people (ie, me) have spent time surveying these things.

You also moved node/5863027878 while removing a still pertinent note tag - if you look at it, it should be self-explanatory what the problem is there.

Regarding Peet's, which I'm very familiar with: their newer stores are generally signed as Peet's Coffee, while most of the older stores are still signed as Peet's Coffee & Tea, unless they've been renovated recently. One of the basic rules of OSM is to map what is on the ground. We should be showing the actual name found on the stores in the name=* tag, not the brand name, which is what the brand=* tag is for.

Regarding boutiques, I agree with you that the tag is ambiguous. It's not something I would choose to use if there was a better tag. It's precisely because of this ambiguity that simply doing an automated retagging to shop=clothes is problematic. They might sell a mix of things, or focus mainly on jewelry or accessories.

These stores are commonly known as "Cost Plus" or "Cost Plus World Market" in this area (where the chain started, as simply "Cost Plus"), and named (and advertised as) "Cost Plus World Market". It's unlikely anyone would know what you were talking about if you just called it "World Market". It would be like calling a Chipotle store "Mexican Grill". Please try to verify these names before changing them. Thank you.

(The original name was correct in this case).

Hi, some things went wrong here.

You added barrier=kerb to several crossing nodes which are not curbs. Added highway=footway to a number of piers, including large buildings on piers, piers which can not be walked upon, and piers that already had footways mapped separately.
You added highway=footway to train platforms, which is not typically how they're mapped, and erroneously removed highway=platform from bus boarding islands. You also added amenity=bus_station to some simple cable car stops, which was not correct. You changed the name of a couple of Peet's shops, which may or may not be correct, but looking at your editing history I'm guessing you're not local, and have not actually checked that these names were changed (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Also, some shops were changed from shop=boutique to shop=clothes, which are somewhat different concepts and need to be looked at individually.

You also changed a (probably mistagged) nonprofit office to office=government.

I've gone through all your recent edits in SF and fixed everything I saw that was obviously an error introduced by the validation software. Please be more careful.

Is this some kind of organized mass import? I've seen several very similar edits by yourself, @Dariaa_P , @Elinorzag , @AnnaTai , and possibly others, often with odd artificial-sounding names (like they were taken from some database of retail submarkets or something) and often/usually duplicating things which have already been mapped.

Isn't the County Connection route 4 a continuous loop? In this rare instance it might make more sense to only have a single route relation, with the start and end at the BART station.

71089358 over 6 years ago

Hi, just a heads up:

motor_vehicle=designated doesn't mean what I think you think it means. Instead of "designated vehicles only" like you might expect, it means something more along the lines of "this is a designated motor vehicle route".

For example, a street with green "Bike Route" signs would be tagged as bicycle=designated. So, what you've done here is implying that these footpaths are designed specifically for motor vehicles, and all motor vehicles are allowed and encouraged to drive down them.

You turned a closed Burger King tagged as disused:amenity=fast_food into a non-disused Burger King. I walked past this place today (twice!) and can assure you that it has been completely boarded up for a while, and is not in any way an active Burger King restaurant. Please pay more attention to what you're doing and look at the history of things you're not familiar with before making changes like this .

I think I've taken care of it. Unfortunately the iD validator seems to have a couple of issues.

70904355 over 6 years ago

Careful - by adding "barrier=kerb" to the crossing node, you are indicating that there is a curb in the street where it meets the crosswalk, and everyone has to drive or walk over it. Surely that's not what you intended.

70884936 over 6 years ago

Again, there is no bus stop inside either of the buildings here.

70901973 over 6 years ago

Are you sure this is one-way? I see at least one lane in each direction in the most recent aerial imagery layers.

70729396 over 6 years ago

Hi, in this changeset you added barrier=kerb to several crossings. That is not accurate; there are no curbs in the middle of the street at any of them. You also renamed a few Starbucks as you said; but I did a quick check and like most Starbucks shops around here they're all named "Starbucks Coffee" in giant letters on the front of the store.

Please be careful using these validators. They're a useful tool but not always correct.

Is "Arthur's House" the actual name of this house (ie., is there a sign or something with that name} or is this just a house where someone named Arthur lives? In the case of the latter, it's generally not a good idea to add personal info like that to the map.

70833225 over 6 years ago

Acton Crescent is an ordinary public street; I have removed the access=destination tag you added.

70824491 over 6 years ago

Hey, you added a bus stop inside a building... What were you trying to map?

70749923 over 6 years ago

Are you sure about some of these changes you're making all over the country? It's still common to find older Peet's shops (like the one in the Potrero Center) named "Peet's Coffee & Tea". You also added barrier=kerb to node/6329652921 , which is not correct; see: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/6myjfqMgXSS2eAq8gdiB0A There's no curb in the street.
