Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Ways (roads, paths, etc) are connected to each other in the real world.

Please try to connect ways to the nearest connecting points to avoid floating / island ways which is not useful.

If you not sure how to interact with OpenStreetMap, here is a good starting resource https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap! A couple of issues with your contribution:

1. Please don't make this kind changesets, keep changes local. In case saving changes you made in a Ghana before moving somewhere else.
2. Do not add tags to features if you don't know what you are doing.
3. Make sure roads connect to nearby roads since roads are not isolated.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, I have reviewed your changeset, kindly download existing data in JOSM before adding new features. This changeset introduced multiple overlapping and duplicate buildings as there exist some data in OSM. I have reverted this changeset.

Hi, Please use Bing aerial imagery as reference in/around Kumasi for adding/aligning data in OSM. Esri World Imagery is very out-of-date and not with the best alignment as 2025-02-08 and should be avoided for now.

Hi John, you seem to be trying to help but just following JOSM validation without reviewing the features doesn't help any better. For example
1. way/350836476 ==> this entire land area is not the church
2. way/320073414 ==> multiple `tourism=hostel` on each building?

Hi, can you clarify why adding building nodes in exiting building areas? Or what are you trying to achieve? A feature should be represented with only one OSM element osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Hi, thanks for mapping. It is best to add more buildings per changeset.

It is also not necessary to add your name in the changeset comment. Take a look what makes a Good changeset comment and why you should use one osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping.
I have reviewed and updated your some of your contrubutions.

It is recommended to add a couple more buildings before saving/uploading a changeset to avoid having only a single building in a changeset as I have done with reviewing your buildings here ==> changeset/161039146

Also right click on the area and select "Square" to make the edges more regular/straight, take a look at one example from my review ==> https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1348560629

Some useful getting started resources ==> https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/

Hi, is the name of these houses and others publicly verifiable information or ? If these are private information please remove and don't add them as names to buildings in OpenStreetMap.

Also check for existing features before adding new ones to avoid duplicates. One feature should be represented with only one OSM element, see osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Don't add a feature as node/area and at the same time as node/area, in this case fuel station is duplicate. I have resolved this now.

Hi, Kindly use Good changeset comments to describe your contributions as using only hashtags is meaningless to other mappers and yourself soon. See why you should use Good changeset comments osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Hi, stop adding building nodes within building areas. This doesn't add any useful information to OpenStreetMap. If you are still not sure what OpenStreetMap is, here is a good starting resource https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap, adding a building node within a building area is not helpful. One feature should be represented with only one OSM element osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Hi Gway,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Here are some getting started tips:
- Use title case for names, that is "Atsugbor Street" instead of "Atsugbor street".
- Only add names and information that is publicly verifiable, e.g. street names should not be assumed, use the names from street signs
- If you don't understand the meaning of a tag don't select any option. eg. `oneway=yes` is meant for ways (streets, etc) that have traffic in only one direction. In this changeset I am confident that this street is not a oneway street but has traffic in both direction.

This Welcome material https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/ should help you get started

Also here osm.wiki/Map_features you will find a long list possible tags used in OpenStreetMap and some descriptions.

Happy mapping!

Hi, I see you are undoing multiple mechanical maxspeed=*, however you seem to be assuming by changing the outrageous speed limits to values that are reasonable but unverifiable.

Could you stop these changes, if you are working for a comapny or someone let you or your employer clarify this on the Talk-GH list.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap. If you are not sure about the meaning of what you are mapping, it is best not to add them.

Hi Samuel, welcome to OpenStreetMap. Contributing to OpenStreetMap should not be based on assumptions. Also try to do some checks before adding or updating features.

This feature way/169866115/history/4 as a result of previous organised mapping activities was changed from a railway (in reality) to seconday road (very wishful and invalid) then you added a speed limit (further adding to completely non-existing road)
