Thanks for mapping, greetings from Ghana.

Hi,
Thanks mapping. Kindly use title case for names instead of BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping. Unfortunately there is no motorway here.

Please can you get to familiarise yourself with OSM a bit more before making any further changes?

Here is one resource for getting started https://learnosm.org/en/

I am fixing this change.

Happy mapping!

Hi, can you please explain what you are trying to map here?

77534406

Thanks for the clarification. Interesting to see that there's a lot still missing from aerial images or something is still not right here. It will be nice to collect GPS traces within places like this, let's see what shows up on updated images soon.
Happy mapping.

Hi, thanks for mapping, unfortunately some tags do not apply here. I have reverted/fixed this. https://learnosm.org/ is a good starting point

Hi, only use one object to represent one feature on the ground instead of mapping all the buildings here as the guest house.

See this example where I have remove guest house tags from all buildings and added it to only the area covering the guest house way/1273547395

Hi, thanks for mapping. Goods and services about computers or electronics?

Is this shop always open? 24/7?

77534406

Hi, thanks for mapping. After comparing multiple publicly available background imagery used in OpenStreetMap, the settlement and features within way/714482908 doesn't seem to exist. Can you please clarify?

Hi,
Kindly read my previous changeset comments.

It also best to map a couple of buildings per changeset i.e. before saving

150012698

You can see the difference at https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1272615404

Let the outline match what's on the imagery, you can right click and select "Square" to make building orthogonal

Hi,

Kindly zoom in enough to see existing objects before adding new ones to avoid duplicates.

Also look at what the various values for the highway key represent at highway=*

In the meantime, I am reverting this change.

Best,
Enock

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping.

The name field (tag) name=* is reserved for the actual name of a feature on the ground not for descriptive names. There's also a tag for descriptions that can used. Also use title case instead ALL CAPITALS

In order to tell that a building is residential, the "building=residential" tag is what should be used. See more possible values for building at building=*

In the search box for iD editor you can search for the primary class of a feature e.g. instead of typing "Mosque" in the name field, search of mosque, school, church, etc. first.

Here is one useful resource to get you started https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/

Happy to guide if you need any further help.
I will try to fix some your contribution to help your further contributions.

Happy Mapping!

Best,
Enock

Hi, thanks for mapping. Kindly watch out for existing features such as buildings so that you don't add duplicates. In iD editor make sure to zoom in enough so you can see existing objects.

Happy mapping!

Best,
Enock

Hi. what were you trying to map at node/10297858600
there seem to be several unrelated tags on this node. Can you please clarify?

144992941

Hi, thanks for mapping, I think "name:ee" for Ewe language name:ee=* fits best, which language is "name:nyb"?

149030117

Hi, such an exhaustive response but I am afraid of your assumptions. Kindly avoid copying adding data from copyrighted sources.

149030117

Hi, Thanks for the clarification but I am afraid we cannot use or add data from copyrighted sources to OpenStreetMap. See osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps/Nokia_Maps/...?

Are you able to point out or delete all data you have added from such sources?
