Hello! Seeing that certain buildings in this have been deleted and re-added using the custom imagery. It would be great if you could add the other deleted buildings as well as they are clearly visible in the custom imagery that you have used.

wrong changeset comment. That should be updating tag details

Hi @Toyota Nexus7, your point on Brussels holds good. However in India, the general agreement is to use English names for name key and have a separate tag for Indic languages. Related reading osm.wiki/WikiProject_India#Naming_in_different_scripts_and_languages

Hi @Toyota Nexus7, great to see you contributing to OpenStreetMap! It'd be awesome if you add tamil names as a separate tag name:ta instead of appending it to English names. For now I have removed bilingual values of city names that you have been editing. Going ahead please stick to adding tamil name as a separate tag. Thanks!

Hi @Ty-R-Mill,
Great that you're contributing to OpenStreetMap. However while adding data, please check the feature list already available in OpenStreetMap -> osm.wiki/Map_Features

If the data you add is not consistent with the tags that are commonly used, then it adds no value to the end users of the map.

Also your comment should be indicative of what you are contributing to the map. More on mapping good practices here -> osm.wiki/Good_practice#Good_changeset_comments

I'd recommend you going through the following tutorial as it is greatly helpful in addressing common questions on OSM mapping practices http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/introduction/

It's fine to mark doctor's houses as just buildings

There are a bunch of buildings in this changeset which has amenity=doctors tag and building=yes. Are your sure there are so many clinics in this area?
Please refer to the wiki here for more info on this tag amenity=doctors

Hey @SanjeevKumarT, While it is good that you have added roads here, can you also make sure to split the long roads here 👇

way/403915295/history
way/403915224/history
way/404982438/history

It is good to split roads at points where they separate into another. Please make the corrections to the traces.

Hi @es715, Just a reminder that google earth cannot be used a source for mapping on OpenStreetMap osm.wiki/OSM_in_Google_Earth

Hey @myriam66,
Looks like you have deleted existing data in this changeset and been adding it again in subsequent changesets. I understand that you are trying to improvise data in this area. While it is great that you are doing this, it is better to retain history rather than deleting them completely which obliterates history. There is some good documentation on OSM best practices available here osm.wiki/Good_practice#Keep_the_history.

Please stick to the best practices and continue mapping on OSM!

Hey Saloni! It is right that you have tagged the roads here as residential. But names cannot be `residential` here.

Name and tags are two different things.

For example a road can be tagged `highway=residential` and the name can be something like `name= Ashoka Street`. You can tag a road as residential/service/trunk/primary by looking at it from the imagery. But name is something you can fill in only if you have local knowledge or a valid source of information.

`name` key is used to fill in the real world name of a feature. More about `name` key here,

name=*

Hi Saloni,

Good to see you improvising data here! Please make sure to add tags for the roads here,
way/402744797/history
way/402744794/history

Also there is a random line here way/402744795/history which does not align to any real world object in imagery.

Can you please make sure to fix these issues?

Hi @Srikanth07, Can you please remove duplicate buildings in this changeset? There are lots of duplicates in this area. Please check the screenshot in this link https://www.dropbox.com/s/iyk4r1v07s3o24n/Screenshot%202016-03-15%2010.53.08.png?dl=0

Hey! I would like to more about the source of data imported here. Also why do you alternate between adding and deleting imported data here?
