hi. several of these ways look unlikely to be useful - like one 5-node "hook" over the buildings in ogre. was this by any chance direct conversion of a gps track ?
would you have the time to check all of the ways in the changeset and clean up any that were added accidentally ?

even the referenced page says "...forest, also called a park"; it also says "the local council plans to convert part of the forest into a park".
this should be clarified/surveyed, and if some parts have been converted to a park, they should be mapped accordingly. the whole area should not be changed to a park.
i will change this back to forest for now and will contact all individual mappers who have expressed interest in this area (at least 3 so far) - let's discuss this in detail and come up with a correct tagging.

hi there. it seemed a bit unlikely that a shopping centre would be operating an atm, so i have reverted this change.
please let me me know what was the intended change here.

Yes, this does seem to be PokemonGO inspired. Some of it is not vandalism, looks like genuine improvements - although maybe slightly misguided.
If the editors stay around and "upgrade" to quality map editing, we all stand to benefit.
To the new editors: don't be discouraged to make good edits, just keep on mapping what really exists, and don't stretch the map to reach goals on some game - we appreciate your input a lot :)

the "Ezera vārti" memorial, what is that and where exactly is it located ? at the current location, nothing of interest can be seen on the mapillary imagery.

could you please take images (see www.mapillary.com for detail), upload them and share the link here ?

thanks for the map update - what is the name of the added hostel ?

Most of these looked like paths, I have modified them accordingly.

If that does not seem to be correct, you could you please provide Mapillary images of the area ? See www.mapillary.com for more detail.

Thank you for the map improvements. What was added here as a park did not seem to be a park actually - no official note I could find at http://www.rigasmezi.lv/lv/Rigas_darzi_un_parki/par_parkiem/Darzi_un_parki_Pardaugavas_iecirknis/ .
I have removed the park designation in OpenStreetMap, too.

This one indeed designated as a park - thank you for spotting :)

I changed it to use the official name, and added the previous name in the loc_name tag.

I cleaned up the duplicate here, but getting back to the topic of the object itself - the name seems to be describing a memorial. What indicates that it is not one ?

Have all of these been surveyed to be designated footways?

If you have a chance, could you please add Mapillary images of these footways ?
See https://www.mapillary.com/ for the detail.

Hi there, new mappers.
We welcome all new users and are glad to receive corrections to the map. At the same time, we expect the changes to improve the map, not serve some other goal - be it playing some online game or anything else.

While it is nice that the area here has benches, it is not officially designated as a park - please see http://www.rigasmezi.lv/lv/Rigas_darzi_un_parki/par_parkiem/Darzi_un_parki_Pardaugavas_iecirknis/ . Please do not engage in edit wars, it is not an appreciated way of solving issues.
Additionally, note that Google maps is not an authority - even more, it is legally not permitted to reuse Google maps data.

Thank you for your interest in OpenStreetMap, and if you'd like to see this place designated as a park, please do contact the local city council :)

hi there and thank you a lot for the improvements :)

maybe you can take a look at these steps here - way/429780132 .
can they be connected to the nearby road - maybe by a footway or a path ?

that would be great to do, as disconnected ways cause issues for routing engines.
thank you again for helping osm :)

hi there. this looked more like a bus stop than a station, so i changed it. please let me know if that was wrong :)

Hi there. Thank your for your interest in OpenStreetMap.
We highly value all contributions, but it is worth rememberging that this is a public, global dataset - all the things you add are added for many users worldwide.
Personal notes/bookmarks/pins should not be added to the map.

If you would like to save personal locations in the maps.me applications, that is possible as well - these are called "bookmarks" in the application.
You can find detailed instructions here: https://support.maps.me/hc/en-us/articles/208624825-How-can-I-save-or-delete-bookmarks-

Hope the OSM data is useful, glad to have you with us :)

hi there and welcome to openstreetmap :)
please note that your edits are public, and go into a global database. in this case, there did not seem to be a public sauna at this location, thus i have removed it.
please let me know if there indeed is a sauna - maybe it is a guesthouse then ?

heya, are you sure about the addr:street tag here ? "Namdaru" street seems to be quite some distance to the north

way/305601461/history

heya - not sure what the addition to the pub name was supposed to mean here, but it didn't seem like part of the pub name, so i removed it. please let me know if there's something that should be added :)

hi there - thank you for the map update, but it seemed unlikely that there is a shop in the middle of the forest, so i removed it :)

please note that the map edits happen in the global openstreetmap database - these edits are visible by everybody.

if you would like to save places for personal use, you can use "bookmarks" in maps.me - please see https://support.maps.me/hc/en-us/articles/208624825-How-can-I-save-or-delete-bookmarks- for more detail
