Hello rdell.

Welcome to OpenStreetmap and thank you for your contributions so far. I note however that you’re shortening many roads names to abbreviations. We tend not to use abbreviations in OSM as they can be ambiguous, and information is lost. osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29

Can you please keep names in OSM as full, unabbreviated names? I will be reverting the ones changed for far.

I am sending this with a 0-hour block meaning you must read the message before you can continue editing. I am doing this because attempts by other users to contact you have not have any effect and therefore it is unclear if those messages have reached you at all.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

Many thanks
