if possible, please always try to modify existing items instead of deleting and creating a new one. this is important for preserving editing history.

Please don't forget to also add "name" tag. yes, it looks weird, but the default name tag should always have the same value as the local name tag (specifically here - same as name:he)

Hello and welcome! Thanks for your contribution!

Having sidewalks mapped is not bad at all. We do want to help routing services to create appropriate route for pedestrians. There are several ways to map them (and it's always recommended to firstly check osm wiki for specific feature, there are tons of details and I promise, you'll discover new nuances even after 10 years of mapping)

So, jump to "How to map" on osm.wiki/Sidewalks

in most cases the rule is simple: if sidewalk is adjoined to the highway and goes along the whole way part - just add sidewalk=left/right/both on the highway - super easy and fast method. if sidewalk has a different shape, not adjoined to the highway (like, there are trees or grass between sidewalk and the road), or there is also a bicycle way or you like micro-mapping - feel free to draw sidewalk as a separate footway (as it was mapped here).

so, specifically in this case your edit removed existing (good) feature without replacing it with any alternative - not good. please either restore these separate sidewalks or map them on the directly on the highway.

I'd also recommend looking into our dedicated page with special local rules: osm.wiki/Israel
there you'll also find other ways to connect with the community. feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Hi, curious what happened with all the retaining walls you added recently and then removed now?

Thanks for contribution! I guess these parkins are for electric scooters, right? Then next tag might fit better: amenity=small_electric_vehicle_parking

Hi,
you deleted here totally valid two-way HaArad street (way/912639832) and replaced it with two separate ways. I was here recently and street is not separated.
you can even see this on kartaview: https://kartaview.org/map/@32.11155,34.84019599999999,19z

would be glad if you can explain why you did this?

BTW, afaik, nor raanana.muni.il nor v5.gis-net.co.il are approved sources we can use.

hi, are you sure the park can have an address with housenumber? feels unusual

Welcome to osm and thank you for your contribution!
Unfortunately wikipedia can't be used as a source for any edit.
Read more here: osm.wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia

And please remove these tags

Hi, regarding gps traces, if you are coming to this area, I can recommend you tools to record gpx yourself. Also, I'd recommend to use mapillary or kartaview each time you visit new places

hi, looks like you accidentally dragged node of the way and now way is broken: way/297686797#map=16/31.29050/34.24738

I'd suggest carefully reviewing changes before saving them. Please fix, or if you need help with fixing - please leave a note, I'll be happy to help.

Hi, are you sure that site is a correct type for such relation? And in general, what is the usage for such relation?

169142835 5 months ago

and the last one: if it's possible, please, try to edit existing items instead of deleting them and creating a new one. This is important for preserving history and respects other's work (osm.wiki/Keep_the_history)

(you deleted parking and recreated a new one at the same place with different shape)

happy mapping!

169142835 5 months ago

also here node/2888988091
if you wanted to say that this item is on -1 level, the more correct tag is level=-1 (level=*) instead of building:floor=-1.

BTW, looks like you accidentally deleted one of corners of this school: way/500396871
I'll fix it, but please be more careful and review changes before saving.

Welcome and thank you for your contribution!

I noticed that you change name of node/11061951863 from "Good Pharm" to "GOOD PHARM". While I understand that you for sure wanted to follow official site naming style, but I believe in this specific case we should keep the "Good Pharm" version as it better follows English grammar rules. I also consulted with other contributors and got this nice manual from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Trademarks#General_rules which also recommends to not use upper case.
so, if you agree - please revert the change, and if not - you are welcome to join our discussion in community telegram chat.

Welcome and thank you for your contribution!
Highway=pedestrian is more for wide foot-only roads like "midrehov", in this specific case highway=footway will be more appropriate

so, I'll revert your changes, if you don't mind...
