Got it. We've built some tools that are somewhat sophisticated for matching GNIS records with OSM objects and noticing things that are amiss. We've done some small scale MR tasks with them to help develop the tech and see how painful things are. We have yet to do QA en masse but I'm excited to do that in the nearish future.

Do you happen to know which map roulette task this was? It seems to have left a wake of OSM items with 2 different GNIS identifying fields (ex: gnis:feature_id and ndh:gnis_id)

Got it. We have some semi sophisticated GNIS matching QA tools I'm eventually going to unleash against the DB to make identifying this kind of thing a bit easier.

Hello! I've been cleaning up GNIS identifiers[1] and noticed a few cases where it appears the incorrect ID has been tagged on a waterway. This changeset adds "gnis:feature_id=01507072" to Smith Creek but that's the identifier for North Fork Wilson Creek. I'm using the GNIS National File as my data source so maybe something is amiss that way?

Just want to let you know.

The area around Staybridge Suites looks wonderful!! Nice work!

I have reverted this bulk addition as well as 138903689, 138903683, 138903673. My change sets are: 139371237, 139371294, 139371349,139371380.

As I noted here:https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/how-to-edit-the-zipcode-of-a-whole-city-or-region/101555/8 I'm sure we can find another way to get this into the DB a bit more cleanly.

The geometry here looks so nice! Great work!

This changeset should have the comment: Adding addresses into the greater Phoenix area from the ESRI prepared National Address Database #OSMUSProject377 #phoenixaddress

Love the detail! Nice work!

Love the detail in these changes! Nice work!

Perfect. Much appreciated.

Oh my! Thank you for catching this!!

Did this pop up in a QA tool somewhere? Would love to check other areas to make sure I haven’t botched anything else.

Wonderful.

Hello!

Love the detail in your edits on this area. Just a heads up that addr:street should have all shortened portions expanded to their full text. ex: "E Virgil Dr" -> "East Virgil Drive". Not a big deal but does help alleviate confusion and keep tools happy.

I'm rolling through with address data for this area as part of this project (https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/projects/377) so anything here will be noticed and patched up by me. Happy to do so.

Keep up the great mapping!

Had some extra time this weekend. I think the address data has now been all added and corrected in this changset: changeset/137772589

Definitely let me know if you seem something amiss. I've also posted in the OSM US Slack (arizona local channel) asking for a set of eyes to make sure it's all good to go.

Leaving this here as another breadcrumb for me. Sorry for the spam! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Lakes,_Arizona

Of course I post this and immediately think about looking at the admin boundaries to see if that's a sensible way to distinguish things. I'll try that tomorrow afternoon.

That's great! I'm always happy to get a bit of an assist from folks on the ground. I see that the ZIP locator on USPS also lists both.

So I think my plan will be to finish the additions from NAD for this area (avoiding any further overwriting), then sample addresses from company websites and the USPS address lookup to get a sense where the boundary is and make the Chandler/Sun Lakes update en masse. I'll also post over in the OSMUS Slack to see if another AZ mapper can double check. Does that seem sensible?

For full context, I'm about 60% done with this project: https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/projects/377. I should be able to get through the plan up above by mid next week.

Let me know if you have thoughts/concerns. I appreciate the response!

Hello!

I was adding address data into this area from the National Address Database file and some of the addresses you have as addr:city="Sun Lakes", have now been updated to "Chandler". I'm not local enough to know make a precise call on this and would love any feedback you have. Happy to update things around here as necessary.

Thanks!

I have completed the US update for this type of issue.
