Hello and thanks mapping.
The tagging of ways is not correct. It will be very helpful to take some time to familiarize yourself with what OpenStreetMap is and how to contribute.

Here is a Beginner's guide for getting started osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

I hope will help you to improve data you have added.

Hi, the geometry of the buildings mapped can be improved. This short video should help you with mapping buildings with iD editor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1YJV6I_rhY

You might also want to consider mapping other features on the ground if you have local knowledge about this place. e.g. schools, street names, banks, etc

Happy mapping!

Hi, even though imagery available in OpenStreetMap is ever changing and very out-of-date on this part of the world, not much would have changed in small villages around here. Kindly avoid massive tracing of every tiny way as "highway=residential".

Hi Shevshenko, welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please don't do this. This is not how we contribute to OpenStreetMap using mobile applications.

Adding real features on the ground such as shops, schools, churches, street names, etc is much more helpful.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping. Kindly zoom in enough to see existing features before adding new ones to avoid duplicates and overlaps.

Please do not change tags if you are not sure about what you are doing. eg. changing a "landuse=residential" to "building=yes"

If you need further info and help getting started see https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/

Happy mapping!

Hi,
I am not sure what you are trying to map here but watch out not to add island ways.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! It is best to improve existing objects either as a node of polygon rather that deleting and re-adding them.

I have restored the deleted hotel node, converted to area around hotel and removed the name from the building.

Happy mapping!

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Kindly download existing OSM data before adding new one to avoid duplicates as in the case of this changeset which have added multiple overlapping features.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! This changeset looks great :). It will be better to use a more descriptive comment for your future changesets eg: Add bar or added bar, etc.

Happy mapping!

Hi,
the name field is reserved for the real name of feature eg. Old Fadama Basic School. Don't add "Fadama" as the name of buildings.

Also check for existing data, here buildings, not to add overlaps and duplicates.

You can remove the names from these buildings and also delete overlapping ones.

Happy mapping!

Hi, welcome and thanks for mapping. I have reverted this change because the imagery by default has an offset, which is no fault of yours but should not be used to add/delete existing data that might look wrongly mapped. This guide about iD for beginners should be helpful https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/

Hi, thanks for mapping. can you please check the location of this service station again and move to the appropriate position.

Be careful with what and how you modify existing objects from Organic Maps. This changeset unfortunately changed the University of Ghana to Dr. Hilla Limann Hall. Happy mapping.

Hi, there are many problems around here and I would have expected your mechanical edits to also take them into consideration. Just changing highway to residential value and leaving the generic name value of "path" does not help.

148396019

Hi, the name field is reserved for the actual name of the features not descriptions.

highway=path already means it's a path and does not required a descriptive name "path" .

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for mapping.

Many of the features and attributes you have added here are problematic and can be improved.

The name field is to be used for the name of the features and should be in title case eg. Gbewaa Primary School not "GBEWAA PRIMARY SCHOOL".

The names of the roads should not be descriptions.

Also don't map buildings within buildings. Here is a resource to guide you on contributing to OpenStreetMap with iD editor https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/

I would have expected that buildings within buildings also taken care of but your mechanical edits seems to very much overlook many real QAs

149822148

Hi, I think the automated removal of names here without discussions is not helpful.

It is usual for settlements or houses in these parts of Ghana to have names.

Can you provide documentation for you are using to remove names? I understand you are using OSM Privacy standards without any further clarifications.

150787848

Hi, thanks for mapping, unfortunately the word "filling station" is not part of the name but a descriptive text used to refer to amenity=fuel in Ghana. Can you kindly restore the name to "Goil" only.

150814230

Welcome to OSM and thanks for mapping. Where possible reuse existing features instead of deleting them completely and re-drawing them.

Using only "#YouthMappers" as the only word in the changeset comment is not helpful to other mappers and yourself. Kindly use a short and more useful text, eg. "added buildings" in addition to your hashtags.

Happy mapping!
