btw you're welcome! Feel free to ask me any other questions if you're stuck :)

By the way, "I walked here" is not enough, i'd probably mark which streets you update like "Updated Tracy Street and Preble Avenue" / "Surveyed Tracy Street and Preble Avenue" and then source=survey, which is pretty OK imho

Basically what you're doing is that you're surveying the area

If any question may arise on that imagery, check the comment i left at 108950632.

although Bing isn't accurate either at points, sometimes NAIP and Mapbox is more aligned.

here there is the email I got from Greg, that should be enough to clarify everything.

Note that even if RI imagery is newer by a lot, it's not aligned well, so i have to use Bing for imagery aligning. (that's why Greg Bonynge doesn't recommend using that imagery on its own..)

Also, you don't need to write 25 to multiple buildings, it's enough to put it on the main building. Because this is redundancy what you did, but hey, feel free to ask any questions! :) I'm happy to answer them

The telephone number is always in the following form (ITU form): +1 304 xxx xxxx

Just as a tip. phone=*

Hey! it's so cool to see more WV mappers on OSM. You see that the entire Ohio County is in need of fixing stuff. If you got any questions, feel free to comment below this, or send me a message by clicking on my name, and "Send message"

But also we got a discord community: https://discord.gg/openstreetmap

And an OSM US slack community where I set up the #local-west-virginia channel: https://slack.openstreetmap.us/, although I'm from Hungary but i have some internet friends from WV.

but, yes, access = no - blocked from access
access = yes (generally accessible)
access = public (publicly accessible)
access = private (privately accessible)
access = permissive (you need permission to drive/walk through it)

My tip is to check out OSM wiki if you can't decide how to tag some, but in this Slack community you're probably get the answer from experts too. (Well, they might give the proper tagging)

access=no is rather not used, instead access=private

access=no happens, when the road is literally blocked by natural stuff for example it is blocked by lots of trees that people can't go over.

Also, feel free to join the OSMUS community conversation at https://slack.openstreetmap.us/
We got lots of channels, even there's a #local-pennsylvania channel. jleedev is also from Pgh, btw. feel free to contact him, probably can help you in some local stuff, but I can help you too, since i'm an experienced mapper, just not local to Pittsburgh (I live overseas..)

I deleted property lines from this changeset: changeset/13806774 because they only exist in govt documents, but not as a fence (in European countries mostly yes but in USA? that doesn't exist mostly)

Deleted them.

Property lines != there are actual fence there, mostly there isn't, probably you copied it from government maps.

Note that Taconic State Park - Copake Falls area's tagging has been changed, because it had wrong tagging.. But many of the stuff there has the wrong tagging, if you have the time, then fix them, please.

yes you're right

I also noticed this, because i've just drawn some forest landcover and this disturbed me. What was the reason behind it?

Bocsi de az Office Depotot rossz helyre mozgattad, ugyanis az a Media Markt mellett van.

I mapped some landuse there before you ask.

and also added some farmlands, waterbodies and meadows.
