Can you explain the rationale behind adding this "slip lane" (when lanes are not usually mapped as separate geometries in OSM)? I notice it has been removed in changeset/144312735 after having originally been added by you in a changeset called "routing corrections" but I do not understand for what routing this would be required.

Dear serpilasker, please use small and capital letters when naming things in OSM, not capital letters only. "Açelya Döner" is good, "AÇELYA CAFE" is not! Thank you.

Dear Supt_of_Printing, please cease any mapping of razed railway infrastructure immediately. It is true that it happens on OSM occasionally but even in Europe it is a very divisive issue disliked by most mappers and only ever tolerated if clear visual cues of razed railways exist. It is never acceptable to map something because "it is known that it used to be there".

Both your lines of reasoning, "it is being done elsewhere so why not here" and "it is possible in OSM hence it must be allowed else it would not be possible" are flawed.

Regarding the first, a lot of bullshit is being added to OSM everywhere every day. This doesn't mean that adding bullshit is to be encouraged.

Regarding the second, OSM's technical model is theoretically able to accept any kind of object - you could map clouds, for example. That doesn't mean it makes sense or is desirable. Even if someone were to create a preset for an editor to map clouds, that would still not be acceptable to the community.

I have removed the razed railways added by you recently. Please stick to mapping things that verifiably exist.

Wozu dient dieser Edit? Hast Du gesehen, dass die Nummer 5 nebenan noch 2mal existiert und welche Schlüsse hast Du daraus gezogen? Was ist das Land "TC"?

Hallo joe2812, vor einigen Monaten hatte ich Dich in osm.org/user_blocks/7301 gebeten, zu den diversen Kommentaren, die es zu Deinen bisherigen Beiträgen gab, Stellung zu nehmen. Das ist nicht erfolgt. Stattdessen bist Du nun wieder intensiv in das Gebäudemapping eingestiegen, ohne jemals auf die Probleme einzugehen. Hast Du Dir die Hinweise von damals zu Herzen genommen - überprüfst Du jetzt, ob Gebäude auch existieren, bevor Du sie aus dem ALKIS übernimmst? Verzichtest Du jetzt auf die Erstellung von Gebäudeteilen als building=yes? Wenn ich mir Deine Beiträge in diesem Changeset so ansehe, frage ich mich, ob Du wirklich auf das Luftbild geschaut hast. So befindet sich zum Beispiel way/1225610843 inmitten einer Ansammlung aneinandergebauter Gebäude, vom Luftbild ist da kaum zu erkennen, wieso die in unterschiedliche Gebäude geteilt sein sollten, und im Nordosten schließt ein weiteres Gebäude an, das auf dem Luftbild klar zu sehen ist, das Du aber weggelassen hast. Wie kommt es zu diesem Mappingstil? Ist das doch wieder genau das gleiche, wegen dessen Du vor Monaten kritisiert wurdest?

Danke, ich hätte mich da von Hand drum kümmern müssen und hatte das noch auf meinem "wenn mal Zeit ist"-Stapel ;)

In this changeset, which was your first after signing up to OSM, you have deleted from OSM an object representing a part of Central Park called "The Dene". There may be a valid reason for this deletion but one cannot determine that from your changeset comment which is "///". When deleting stuff from OSM, you should give a reason so that others can distinguish a well-researched and sensible contribution from mere vandalism.

Ich denke, wir sollten das "tourism=attraction" auch loswerden. Ich finde das zumindest im Internet nirgends beworben und in keinem Reiseführer erwähnt. Legt denn Dein Foto nahe, dass man sich hier ausdrücklich an Touristen wendet ("Besuchen Sie unsre Känguruzucht..." oder so)? Ansonsten wäre es vielleicht doch einfach landuse=farmland mit, falls tatsächlich Kängurus gezüchtet werden, animal_breeding=kangaroo oder so? vgl. amenity=animal_breeding#Breeding_as_secondary_activity

Hello and welcome to OSM! We use mixed case for labels (words beginning with a capital letter and small letters for the rest). If you look at the map in this area, you will see "Assam Science and Technology University", not "ASSAM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY", and so on. Capital letters use too much space and they are harder to read. It would be great if you could do that too in the future. Happy mapping!

This changeset has broken addressing/residential areas in Cambridge and I have therefore reverted it fully.

Dear Jinx Naleo, you have deleted a large number of buildings in this changeset which can set some alarm bells ringing with people watching OSM. Try not to delete and re-draw things, and instead change existing things when they are not accurate. And if you delete a lot of things, put in a good changeset comment that says why (e.g. "these buildings were destroyed" or so).

Dear user aracho, welcome to OSM. In this changeset you have deleted a lot of buildings, only to re-draw them with a little offset. Large deletions like that can set alarm bells ringing. If you are improving an existing building, try to just move it to the right location rather than deleting and re-creating it. Also, when deleting lots of buildings it is good to specify a reason in the changeset comment (e.g. "removing buildings that were destroyed by flood" or so), so that people know it is not an accident.

Hallo onaus, Du hast Dir hier und in anderen Changesets in der Gegend viel Mühe gegeben, keinen Flecken auf der Karte leerzulassen und dabei gern auch mal "geraten" - hier Wiese, da Wald, da landwirtschaftliche Fläche, da Wohngebiet. Das ist für OpenStreetMap aber übertrieben. Die Luftbilder, die Du verwendest, sind Jahre alt; wenn Du keine aktuelle Ortskenntnis hast, dann wird sich vieles von dem, was Du da an Bewuchs auf dem Luftbild siehst, dreimal geändert haben. Man kann sich also durchaus leisten, Gebiete mit etwas gröberen Strichen einzuzeichnen und auf 10-Quadratmeter-Flächen verzichten - das gaukelt dem Benutzer eine Präzision vor, die gar nicht existiert. So ein Flickenteppich von Mini-Wiesen ist nur "Malen nach Zahlen", das sieht schön aus, bringt aber nicht wirklich was (und bürdet künftigen Mappern die Arbeit auf, das alles nachzuführen). Langer Rede kurzer Sinn, etwas weniger Detailversessenheit wäre gut ;)

Hello, yungsup, and welcome to OSM. When contributing, please use a changeset comment that humans can understand, rather than (just) "#WSPNZ23" which is a term known only to insiders. Also, you don't have to hit "save" for every building you draw; it is ok to save only once every 20 buildings or so. Finally, please don't give your buildings a name of "House" - just leave the name field blank. The fact that it is a house can be seen from the "building" tag.

Always good to include a comment about something like that in the changeset description so that people know it wasn't an accident ;)

Ich lösche jetzt sämtliche österreichischen Hecken, deren ursprünglicher Autor sich selbst gelöscht hat. Wäre aber besser, wir tragen diese Sachen im Forum zusammen statt hier.

Hola kokoadict, in this changeset you have deleted something like 100 buildings. Checking aerial imagery it looks like the buildings are still there. Why did you delete them - have these buildings been destroyed?

Hello Lucia_Mazza, and welcome to OSM. You are contributing a lot of buildings and you are saving every single one of them. This is not necessary; you can accumulate a few dozen before hitting the save button. Also, most buildings are square and not trapezoid - use the "Q" key in the editor to make your building rectangular!

Hello Jinx Naleo, and welcome to OSM. You are using a lot of what we call "descriptive names". The "name" tag should be reserved for the name of things and not a description. For example, you have added a school in way/1223840693 but you have not mapped it as a school - instead you have drawn an unspecified building and gave it the name "Gov. Public School K.Khel". It is better to choose the correct tag for a school (amenity=school) and then drop the description from the name. (Also, avoid abbreviations in the name.)

Dear Bikon8, welcome to OSM! You are using what we call "descriptive names". The "name" tag on an object is there to record the name of a building, not the purpose. For example, there is a specific tag for a library that you should use when mapping a library, rather giving the building a "name" of "Library". Also "Academic" is not a proper name for a building, and "School Path" an unlikely name for a footpath!
