building tags are not for ruins. roof kind of can be tagged, but as building=roof.

Also, when you make a multipolygon, please check that the tags are on it and they aren't left on outer area.

Actually, area:highway=footway implies that they must be connected. Routers won't even try to use it.

There is also highway=pedestrian which is a bit different, but as I've said, not all routers support it.

paths around this
way/1195096150
can be also connected, because not every routing software can plot a route through pedestrian area.

And lane parking should not be attached to the highway

Also parking on the road is not of "surface" type, see
parking=lane

parking=street_side

or it can be mapped directly on the way

Hi, I usually set

bicycle=yes
instead of
bicycle=designated

if it's a usual zebra.

Hi, no one knows about this name, you shouldn't translate names or dig into their etymology, no one will understand it, locals don't use it.

Just delete closed shops. When there is some sign that a shop may be there even though it's closed, for example a signboard is left, add a lifecycle prefix

disused:shop=furniture

The correct English name for the park probably would be just Gagarin park or at least Gagarin's park. Please check stuff like this in translators.

Hi, good edit.

Since you've requested review one thing that could be done differently is continuing existing sidewalk way instead of adding a new one.

To do this use "shift" to select both the existing sidewalk and a node where it ends, then when you right click it, you should see an option to continue the way.

Since this sidewalk portion is new, it's also ok to add it separately so that other tags could be added (for example if old one is not as smooth as the new one and you'd like to map this)

Hi, I clearly see something like a path on aerials. Maybe it was not walkable during the time you visited or it's walkable if you aren't afraid to get your feet wet?

My common sense is different than yours.
Any changes I'll see with street view as a source without survey, where the mapper doesn't agree to revert, I'll report to DWG and let them decide. There is no point in us two discussing it in a changeset. If DWG are ok with it, then I am too.

> no matter from where the information is acquired.

It's clearly stated that the information was acquired from Google.

You are free to raise this topic in OSM community and see if consensus would change.

Currently it's discouraged

Here is a good answer on this topic

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/710/can-i-use-google-streetview-to-help-create-maps/711

Even if you think differently, we don't have the resources to fight Google lawyers.

And I do think that work was essentially derived here from their copyrighted data.

Hi and welcome!

To indicate that something is no longer open, it's better to use lifecycle prefix
osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix
for example like so
was:amenity=stripclub

Note that OSM is not a historical database, these prefixes are useful when you need indicate to other mappers that something indeed got closed while there is still a sign for that place or a building was removed, but it's still on aerial imagery so that no one would retrace it again.

As the strip club website is still up and nothing is mentioned about it closing, it would be correct to use lifecycle prefix. I assume you've verified it somehow.

* Sorry was in hurry and made mistake, not "description" key, but "note" key. Description is for end users.

note=*
description=*

139067698 over 2 years ago

Hi and welcome, good edits.

One thing, fixme is used to signal to other mappers that something is incorrect or missing. As I understand everything is correct here. You can add helpful information under "description" key if you want to. And if you want to add apartment numbers in a meaningful way, you can add a building entrance and put them there, like here node/9246947396

I've reverted two changesets in Estonia.

JekabsBalodis, please check if the same applies to your changesets in Latvia and please don't use sources with incompatible licenses.

Hi, is there a road construction or something?

Looks like you've moved Elva toidujagamispunkt inside the building, but it seems it's just a locker with a fridge outside, or is it not?
