Buildings rarely have names without a purpose/use. Be sure to also tag its use.

building=*

leisure=golf_course

You have put a building inside of a building. This will need to be corrected. If you need help, please reach out for it. osm.wiki/Michigan

I see you have been doing this in multiple locations. And in this particular location, there is already a node for the MSU Dairy Store. Was there a reason for this, like maybe it isn't showing in a particular view you are seeing?

Thank you for your recent addition of footways in the Lansing area. In this area, I had to remove some crosswalks that did not exist, connect some ways such that they would properly route, remove the footway=sidewalk tag where the path was separate from the roadway and add bridge tags where the footway went over the river, trail and tracks.

Have a look at the Michigan wiki about Sidewalks and Footways.

Also, at the top of the page, you will see an invitation to join Michigan's monthly meet-up.

Thank you for adding sidewalks. Before you get to far. You may want to take a look at the Michigan wiki on the matter.

You beat me to it. Nice work. =)

Nice work. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Not knowing OpenStreetMap had become widely known/used in our area, would you mind my asking what brought you to add this business to OpenStreetMap?

Thank you for doing this. We were just talking about this problem at last month's meetup.

If you are interested in mapping paddlecraft features, we should talk. Also, I have been adding notes on how best to tag them to the Michigan Wiki page.

Perfect. Just wanted to make sure.

I see a lot of new and one-time mappers adding/changing creative names, unaware of best practices.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. =)

Take a look at the Michigan Wiki page, we have started to informally meet each month.

Take a look at the Michigan Wiki page and the OSM page on sidewalks, before adding to many "sidewalks". A sidewalk in British parlance is walkway along the edge of a motor way. Michigan has very few of those, usually only in downtown areas. Michigan also allows bicycles on cement paths through people's yards, that we call sidewalks.

Welcome to OpenStreetMapping!
Is this the name on the sign or building that someone would see from the road? Otherwise, the use of tags like old_name or alt_name might be appropriate.

Mapping a "footway" through the school, at level "-1", as if it were an underground tunnel, is definitely not correct. What tool are you seeing these warnings in?

Carry on then.

Thanks again for your help with the Lansing area.

Check the Lansing and Michigan Wiki pages. Michigan mappers have started to meet each month.

Usually, we try to make our change sets more succinct. Here I would like to talk about the footpath added to Holmes Road in Lansing (thanks for that), but this change set spans to include Sault Saint Marie.

When adding footways, there is no need to separately "draw" the crosswalk. Just mark the junction between the roadway and the footway as the appropriate crossing type. It makes things cleaner and much easier to deal with. I've been find this through out Lansing, when using StreetComplete to add surface types (which nearly always changes in a crossing), lighting, and the various crossing details it can add.

This section of railroad is not abandoned, it no longer exists. The tracks are long gone and most of the railroad grade has disappeared to time and developments. With OpenStreetMap, we are to map what is on the ground. And this should be removed.

Looking at some of your other edits, I think you might find the Open Historical Map of interest.

Changes like this are big, affecting routing and rendering at low zoom levels. Did you need help with this?
