Makes sense, appreciate for the quick response!

Hi, please note that both the businesses you added here already exist in OSM, but tagged on the buildings: way/421944393, way/421666779. Please watch out for that in the future to avoid adding duplicate features. Perhaps Every Door doesn't display them well?

Hi, appreciate you trying to fix up the CA route 2 relation here. I *think* in this change you've added "missing" sections of CA 2 between the 405 and West Hollywood/La Brea, is that right? If so, are you sure those segments are actually currently part of CA 2? I thought that those portions had been relinquished by the state and were no longer officially part of the route. That seems to be what's indicated in the official definition: https://law.justia.com/codes/california/code-shc/division-1/chapter-2/article-3/section-302/, and a very detailed local roadgeek page: https://www.cahighways.org/ROUTE002.html. But let me know if you have some other source that says otherwise!

Best,
Will

This edit added low quality names (unverifiable, sometimes already mapped, and not in title case) to various retail areas and made erroneous geometry changes, it's been reverted in changeset/153768424.

Please do not upload fake data to the database, even as a test! And then certainly don't leave it for hours.

Does this and the other former railways you've added recently actually exist in any physical way on the ground? This one appears to go straight along roads and through buildings, for example. You might want to take a look at the OpenHistoricalMap project (where this railway doesn't appear to have been mapped yet: https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=12/34.0020/-118.3890&layers=O&date=2005-07-13&daterange=1824-01-01,2024-12-31) than OpenStreetMap, which is a representation of the existing world.

Hi, it looks like you've added an "Ishihara Park" at the intersection of Stewart and Delaware. But Ishihara Park is already mapped a block north of your new area: way/468462659. Is that area what you meant to map?

Hi, welcome to OSM! Please note that highway=trunk is defined in California, as in most of the US, as a key long distance connection, not by the presence of an interchange. This definition is documented in the wiki: osm.wiki/California/2022_Highway_Classification_Guidelines. Therefore, I don't think this short stretch of Olympic warrants a classification change.

Also, it looks like you've dragged the sidewalk near La Cienega/Obama so that it crosses the road. Please take care when modifying ways so that they all align with each other.

Thanks!

Hi, why did you delete this neighborhood? It certainly exists in real life and is called this by residents.

Hi, thanks for doing what appears to be a lot of hard work adding all these service roads around the country. In the future, do you think you could try to keep your changesets at bit more local, or maybe state-by-state or region-by-region at least? Having these US-spanning changesets makes it hard for others to tell what's actually been changed where.

Thanks!
Will

Old changeset I know, but I've just come across this. Are you sure this portion isn't supposed to be HI 2000? I think I saw signs with 2000, and it looks like 200 goes down Kaumana Dr into downtown Hilo. See also wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_Route_200#Related_route

Great, thanks for fixing these so fast!

I'll try raising the issue on OSMUS Slack, I think I've seen folks there post about this effort.

Hi again,
Browsing around a little more, it seems like the problem of defunct KFCs still being in AllThePlaces that I pointed out in changeset/152662539 is a general one. I pretty quickly found at least two more that appear to be permanently closed: node/11980218990 and node/11980210168. They are both also listed as closed 24/7 on the provided websites, maybe that's something the challenge can check for?

Best,
Will

Hi, thanks for doing this import, it seems like it's mostly adding good data to the map. However, in my local area I noticed a couple of errors in these data:
-This KFC doesn't exist: node/11980259978. It was torn down in 2018 according to streetlevel imagery, and something else (a Starbucks) was built in its place. Weirdly, in the website you appear to be scraping from, it shows the opening hours as closed 24/7: https://locations.kfc.com/ca/los-angeles/3061-sawtelle-blvd.
-This Panda Express is in the wrong place: node/11980259979. It looks like the website is referring to this already-mapped one: node/441936006, but for some reason you've placed it directly on top of the Culver City place=town node. Maybe an issue with the geolocator you/ATP is using? I notice someone else added a note to the existing one that they couldn't find it in ATP. In any case, there's certainly no Panda Express in the middle of the road next to Culver City Hall, nowhere near its street address.

Hopefully these edge cases can help you/the challenge designers better identify more false positives in your data.

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding this business to the map. However, I noticed a few issues with your edits, which I tried to correct in my past change, but that you seem to have switched back:
-Your description is very subjective, reading as if it were advertising or Search Engine Optimization. This is not what OSM's description= tag is for, see description=*#No_advertising. Please kindly refrain from adding this sort of thing to the description.

-You also added back the "keywords" tag. This tag has no documented meaning in OSM. Are you aware of a service that uses these keywords, or one that is prompting you to add it to the shop? It would be useful for the community to know about.

-The value of the shop= tag is supposed to describe the type of product sold. There are quite a lot of possible values (see shop=*#Shop-specific_information), but "Retail" does not really describe the type of shop. From the website it seems like LA Mart sells mostly decor, so I thought interior_decoration would fit, but maybe there's a more accurate value? If you could describe what is sold in a comment here, that would be helpful.

-A small detail, but the correct address format in OSM is to keep the street name alone in addr:street, whereas the unit number should go in addr:unit. It looks like you put the unit number back in the street name. Again, is there some service that's prompting you to do that?

Again, welcome to the community, and I hope we can work together to properly represent your business while conforming to OSM standards. Please let me know if there's anything I can help with!

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Is there really a "pond" here? From Bing aerial imagery it looks like a parking lot, is the pond underneath?

It looks like in other changes you added multiple ponds to this complex. I only see one in the middle, and it looks more like a swimming pool (leisure=swimming_pool). Is that what you might have meant?

Best,
Will
