In the future, we would appreciate it if you would please use descriptive changeset comments. Every changeset has "amendments"; this by itself tells us nothing about what has been changed and why. Thanks!

Hi,

On the small chance this is a legitimately new mapper, welcome to OpenStreetMap. There are some issues with your edit, most of which have since been fixed; for future reference please note the following:

1. There is no point spamming hashtags on a changeset like this.
2. Addresses are not abbreviated on OpenStreetMap
3. opening_hours=* is not a free form text tag, it is intended to be both human- and machine-readable and has a specific syntax. See osm.wiki/wiki/key:opening_hours for details.
4. Phone numbers should be in international format i.e. phone=+1 713-555-5555

Hi,

In future edits please note the following:

description=* is *not* for advertising copy/puffery! That's why you have a website.

addr:street=* is only for the street name. The number goes in addr:housenumber=*.

opening_hours=* has a specific format intended to be machine-readable as well as human readable, it is not a free form text tag. Please see opening_hours=* for details.

I hid both of the spam comments. Let me know of any others.

Fixed, see changeset/140556052

No, I'm not sure how that happened.

Hi,

Please do not use name=* for entering full addresses. The appropriate key is addr:full=*. Thanks!

What is your data source for these names?

Please check for duplicates before adding future businesses. Also please use standard tagging next time. See: changeset/128533195 for proper tagging example.

Next time, please save the changeset and start a new one before making new edits so far away. These easily should be two separate changesets.

Hi,

It is completely unnecessary to create a new account for each new addition to the map. This is at least the sixth such account that I have seen (I haven't kept count).

If this is the same person/entity behind the other accounts, then you need to read *all* of these changeset comments:

changeset/123612496
changeset/125044254
changeset/125006110
changeset/124713946

In particular, opening_hours is using entirely the wrong format, the phone number is also in an incorrect format, and "Category" is not a standard tag. If these continue being added with obvious deficiencies and blatantly nonstandard tagging, you risk having them being deleted entirely as spam.

Also, "Added features in Houston area" is deceptive about the true nature of this changeset, as nothing is added, and the most notable edits it contains are deletions, not additions. Please be more careful with your changeset comments going forward.

Reverted as vandalism by changeset/137442758 as this changeset deleted a 7-Eleven which I know exists because I personally surveyed (and purchased from yesterday). Please do not assume that satellite/aerial imagery is always 100% up to date as it often is not.

Why was building=residential changed to building=yes on some buildings? Also, addr:country=US was removed on those same buildings for no apparent reason.

Oops, meant to include "web search" in sources

Review was requested:

1. opening_hours was formatted incorrectly. See opening_hours=* for correct format. (fixed)
2. phone number should be in international format. For US/Canada numbers, this means numbers should start with "+1". (fixed)
3. description=* is emphatically not for advertising copy. This is considered rubbish which enlarges the database for no good reason. (fixed)

This Walgreens actually has an address on Calder Avenue. In the future, please don't enter the street name if you don't know 100% for sure.

Why was the Gus S. Wortham Memorial Fountain tagged as a recycling container in this changeset (since reverted)?

The position is close but obviously it's not that close to the road, it's in the building just to the west.

How is erasing a valid name used for addressing purposes "add[ing] features"?
