Changeset When Comment

I have no issue with you correcting spelling errors. I do have an issue with you lumping changes across the entire planet into one changeset, giving a huge middle finger to accepted practice on OSM in the process. Overpass Turbo is slower and uses more computing power best used for other queries that can't be done using the history button.

There is absolutely no reason a changeset bounding box should stretch across large portions of six continents. I see this when I browse changesets in and around Houston, TX, US, and it just gets in the way.

Looks good to me.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

This looks like a great first edit so far, congratulations.

I have been mapping the Houston area for the past few years; feel free to drop me a line if you have questions, particularly those specific to the local area.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

It does help us out a lot if you add more meaningful comments your changesets. Example: "Add details in Spotts Park" or "Label basketball court"

There are actually specific tags used for basketball courts, which I have changed this to in a recent edit. iD has a preset for basketball courts which you can use (as does JOSM if you ever try it).

I have mapped the Houston area extensively over the last few years and can answer most other questions you might have.

These do get in the way a little bit when I'm looking at just the Houston area (in my case) trying to see what's been changed.

The opening_hours tag is *not* a freeform human-readable tag; there is a syntax defined for it that software using the data is relying on. These are entries that could not be fixed by JOSM's validator, that I also could not fix. I fixed what I could by hand.

This looks more like you added a service road and parking lot. Are you sure you're not just re-using the same changeset comment no matter what you change?

Even this could have been commented as "Added surface".

70587279 over 6 years ago

Instead of "update", a more helpful changeset comment would have been "Add building, footpaths, service road at Bayou Bend".

70587468 over 6 years ago

Instead of "update", you could have commented this "Added footways and fountain near Bayou Bend".

How did you manage to get this changeset's bounding box to include the US?

70526939 over 6 years ago

Please don't glue landuse ways to roads. (The way representing a road is the centerline of that roadway, not the edge.)

Please consider writing more descriptive changeset comments so we can tell what you actually changed: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Link is dead. This one is still up though: https://abc13.com/traffic/hours-long-delays-after-truck-crash-on-i-10-wb-at-fm-1489/3638668/

Please keep changesets within the smallest area possible. The bounding box for this changeset stretches over most of the US, all of Mexico and Central America, most of South America, Hawaii, about half of Africa, and a good chunk of Europe, despite only 7 items being changed.

While we appreciate contributions that come from your own surveys or those who have given OSM contributors permission to copy from them, you absolutely, positively, cannot use Google Maps as a source. If that's what you've done here then you need to revert this.

If it meets the other criteria for a building, I would say a tomb is a building. historic=tomb -- a mausoleum, pyramid, or columbarium would definitely also be taggable as a building.

"minor changes" is not a very helpful changeset comment. Please consider more descriptive comments: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Please note opening_hours has a specific syntax: opening_hours=*

I have fixed the value for Old Falls Village for you; please note this syntax should you need to specify a certain amount of time after sunset in the future. (A similar scheme applies to sunrise, dawn, and dusk.)
