If i would try to fix everything i see, i'll be sitting here until my last day - without break

Please be a bit more careful. way/184762906/history is certainly not a power generator.

Good that you are fixing problems, however, you don't have to pay attention to these "outdated tag" warnings on powerlines. It adds only useless tags that pollute the database and add no value. It adds the wikidata item for Georgia Power and especially useless, the wikipedia page for GAPower. The normal operator tag is enough, the additional tags are basically duplications.
(Note that i mapped almost all of these lines)

Leftovers - fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

These buildings would be better tagged "demolished:building=yes" for now - otherwise, people like me will come along and see "missing" buildings on the aerial images and re-add them.

Thanks for the edit, looks good!

Thanks for your edits! However, a few small things to keep in mind:
- When drawing buildings, you can square them by pressing the "Q" key (when the building is selected).
- Adresses: The state adress should be "SC" instead of "sc", the road name should be "Narrowleaf Avenue" instead of "NARROWLEAF AVE". Besides that, the edit looks good.

Please use demolished:building=* next time.

If you don't understand railway=abandoned, don't delete it. Reverted.

119065140 over 3 years ago

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed them, the last one was already broken - i will delete it later.

Note that many of the deleted relations here were already broken.

what a horrible problem whole map is broken now!1!1!!!!

Hello, thanks for your edits/additions! They are very helpful. However, to make them even better, you could tag old, obviously demolished features such as way/422944949 as demolished, e.g. change the "building=yes" to "demolished:building=yes". This prevents overlappings with your new roads and old, nonexisting buildings. (the example creates currently 6 error messages due to overlaps)

Looks good! Thanks for your edits.

This was a remain from a very old import. Your edit looks good, welcome to OSM!

118239176 almost 4 years ago

Of course i reverted it - on the other CS, i said if the tracks are deleted again without good reasons, i'll restore them.

He has nothing to decide here - only if it would be obvious vandalism or copyright violations. He can provide his input on the matter. However, since this input are just lies/obvious untruths, I certainly won't listen to it.

"OSM is to map what is currently on the ground" - yes, the traces are on the ground.
"If you need to check historic maps to map something and cannot do it based on a field survey" - really now? I have to mention the maps, because you seem to think that the remaining tracks and all other obvious traces there were placed for fun or something.

118239176 almost 4 years ago

Many? Now you have gone crazy. The only overbuilt tracks in this edit are way/971353152/3. And since when are they overbuilt? Long ago? No, since 2020. All other restored tracks have very clear traces, the tracks at the round warehouses have even some rails still in the ground - a trace can't be more obvious.

So, "Many of the ways ... long since buried under houses or other new development." is another blatant lie from an admin/moderator. This is incredible.

I also think it has something to do with showing respect to each other. Personally, I just like to map such things, I enjoy looking for relationships between the old tracks and their remains.
Look, there are also many mapping practices that I don't like at all. For example, micromapping. When you map every single space in a parking lot. Or every flower pot in a 3D-mapped shopping center. This data takes a long time to load. It is extremely difficult to work with, especially if you are new. And yet I tolerate it - because there are people who put work into it, and it doesn't break anything. Just as these tracks - they don't break anything either, nor are they "false data". On the contrary - OSM-applications like Openrailwaymap thereby become actively more complete and simply ...better. But removing these tracks now ... i just don't see what is gained by doing this.

"Do abandoned railroads belong into OSM?"
Well, i see it that way: railway=abandoned primarily says "Here (On the ground, in 2022!) are some traces of an old RR". The traces here are the building shapes - they weren't built to look cool, they were built to have good rail access while using a minimum of space. Not to mention the track remnants at osm.org/edit?#map=21/33.73612/-84.41221

Also, the DWG can't say "This belongs into OSM and this not." They revert vandalism/copyright violations. What belongs into OSM - the community decides it - and the community decided: Everything on the ground can be mapped.
There is also a "sub"-community of rail mappers, and most of them also say former tracks like this should be mapped.

Don't they have anything better to do than deciding if these ten restored tracks can be kept?
If someone removes what i restored at changeset/118239176 i will treat it as vandalism (deletion of valid data) - because "arguing wouldn't acomplish anything".
