Hi,

Going forward please do not add "name=None" where there is no name. This is implied for most service roads, and where this needs to be made explicit the tag of "noname=yes" should be used instead.

Hi,

Please remember to update the lane counts when dualizing a road like this. iD will not warn you about this, it is something you have to keep track of and check on your own.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Please note the following for future edits:

1. description=* is not for advertising copy. This is considered spam and has been removed.
2. opening_hours=* follows a specific format as documented on the wiki at <osm.wiki/> and is not free form text.
3. addr:street=* is for the street name only. The number goes in addr:housenumber=* and a unit/suite goes in addr:unit=*. See the updated tags.
4. The correct tag for postal code is addr:postcode=* not zipcode=*.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Please note the following:

1. Changeset pages, including the comments, are nofollow and spamming the changeset comments with ad copy/SEO fodder does nothing.
2. The opening_hours tag is not a free form text tag, it has a specific machine-readable syntax (which I have edited it to conform to).
3. healthcare:speciality is also not for SEO spam. I have removed this.
4. Street names in the address are unabbreviated and should not contain extra junk like "suite" or "unit". I have also fixed this.

Unless they have a separate government, these probably should remain neighboourhoods. Hamlets will cause Nominatim to return incorrect/erratic results.

I'm honestly not sure how the heck this happened; it has been fixed in changeset/158522084.

Hi,

From the wiki:

"Do not use description=* for advertising messages. They will be removed as spam and may also have further consequences for your OSM account."

The description tag you added had apparent ad copy and was thus deleted.

Hi,

For future reference, please note that Pappas is the last name of the founder of the restaurant chain and as such it is not spelled with an apostrophe.

Hi,

In the future please use more descriptive changeset comments. "Various edits" does not offer any insight as to what the actual edits are.

Reverted in part in changeset/156415513: vandalism and questionable data sourcing

I've tagged a lot of features (c-stores in particular) on the building outline when I know the building has just one occupant. I will use nodes for shops/amenities if it's an obvious multi-tenant building, or even in the (now dwindling) number of e.g. Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut multi-brand fast food outlets (actually, Dunkin and Baskin-Robbins are doing this). There are edge cases such as 7-Eleven and Laredo Taco Company where the latter is actually part of the former; those I've put on a separate node inside the 7-Eleven building.

I'm surprised Osmose actually throws this as a warning though. I have never seen it. I agree with "one feature, one element" in general, but taken to its extreme it would be to tag shop=convenience and amenity=fuel on the same node inside the fully enclosed building. That would make correctly tagging e.g. a 7-Eleven with Exxon fuel very challenging.

What is the rationale behind doing this? As in, what is the benefit versus mapping amenity=fuel on the roof outline itself?

True, but StreetComplete is still going to ask. Should I just disable the quest? Though that does nothing for the other StreetComplete users who will still have it enabled.

Please excuse the typo, the correct changeset comment should be "Add buildings". JOSM has been flaky with keyboard input lately, not sure why.

Were you able to find an address for the former Paige UMC building? (Particularly when mapping in small towns, I try to get as much address information as I can find.)

I use Bing imagery, apparently it's not the bastion of quality in this area like it usually is. I will take another look at these and fix the noted errors.

155187401 over 1 year ago

Disregard, intended for a different changeset

155187107 over 1 year ago

JOSM bug changed source, should have included MapWithAI and microsoft/BuildingFootprints

JOSM bug changed the source and I didn't notice. Should have included MapWithAI and microsoft/BuildingFootprints

I have updated Pickard High School. Brenham School is now a hotel (Brenham Schoolhouse Hotel, website is <https://brenhamschoolhouse.com/>) but I'm not sure if the node is on the right building.
