To indicate a building involved in retail (like convenience stores), the tags are as follows: building=retail shop=convenience

Also, since Boljoon is not a city, the preferred address tag would be: addr:town=Boljoon.

Don't forget to square corners, and to make sure that buildings are not connected to another.

Keep on mapping!

Hello there. The description you've been adding to some of the map features are interesting. Thank you for taking the time to add them.

When adding features, there is no need to map features twice. For example, you don't need to add a point for the municipal hall, when you've already defined a polygon to be such. The one that represents the object more accurately, is preferred over another.

Apart from names, you need to classify objects accurately. Health centers are often tagged as amenity=clinic. Gymnasiums are leisure=sports_centre.

For more local mapping conventions, check out: osm.wiki/Philippines/Mapping_conventions

👍

Tip: when adding names to features, don't abbreviate (e.g "Patrocinio de Maria Street" instead of "Patrocinio de Maria St."

Also, when working on grids that require you to digitize buildings, for example, don't click the "done" button if it's still incomplete, just use "unlock" and you (or another mapper) can return to it later.

Hello, and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I'm curious about your edits. Are you associated with The Generics Pharmacy?

Thank you for your edits. You're helping make a better map of your neighbourhood.

Instead of renaming a point when an establishment has closed for business, I suggest that you delete the old point, and then add a new one instead.

For example, the defunct Adobo Connection point could be deleted. And you create a new one for the new business, Teriyaki Boy. This allows the database to create historical information about an area.

The only exception to this is when establishments occupy whole buildings mapped as polygons. In that case, simply renaming it is alright.

Hello there. Welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We noticed that you're new in OSM, but you've been editing a lot of mature features. Kindly be careful about your edits because the live map is also being used for humanitarian work, and emergency services.

One of your changesets has been reverted, and we are reviewing the rest.

Hello. Thank you for your edits, and welcome to OSM. I'm GOwin from the local OSM community.

We noticed a pattern in recent edits in this area of Los Baños, and your account appears to be one of several following this particular pattern.

Are you affiliated with any group, or directed by any person, as part of any organized mapping effort? We'd like to know more about your project, and its objectives.

Please feel free to contact me directly, or keep in touch with the local community at fb.com/OSMph/community

Hello. You appear to be using invalid tags: repair, level, material.

You're probably trying to tag these as`building:repair=*`, `building:material=*`, and `building:levels=*`.

Check out osm.wiki for details.

In OSM, `commercial` activities are related to office work. Hence, `building=commercial` would indicate a building mostly used for unspecified office work. If the building primarily consist of shops, it should be tagged as `building=retail`

Check out osm.wiki for details.

Hello there. Thank you for your edits, and welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

You requested for a review of your edits, and my comments are as follows:

* your use of the tags `building=service`, `repair=medium`, and the use of JOSM are unusual for beginners. May I know if you received any instructions regarding these tags, and if this is part of an organized mapping activity? If so, which group are you affiliated with, or the persons directing the activity?
* as for the tags themselves, `repair` may not be the correct tag for the information you're trying to convey.
* a building tag over the complete landfill area is probably incorrect as well

Hello. Thank you for your edits, and welcome to OSM.

Kindly follow the service_times syntax as documented on the wiki: service_times=*

I didn't edit the phoe numbers, so I'll leave that to you. Thanks.

When fillin-in phone numbers in OSM, do use the international format +63 999 999 9999, which includes the country and local access code so non-local callers can still reach them, if necessary.

Looks good. Thanks for the update.

Hi Ernie.

It would be some to lose any of this work. However, OpenStreetMap is a live map that is used not just by regular people like you and me, but also by people who are involved in disaster and humanitarian response.

It is important to keep the data correct, and accurate, as much as possible.

Kindly contact us, if you need any help with the edits. Try us at fb.com/OSMph/community

Hi again. Again, we notice the same issues with your other change sets.

If you enjoy tracing linear imagery (like highways, waterways, etc.), kindly make sure you add only new data , and not overwrite or duplicate existing ones. It would be sad to lose your edits with reverts.

I suggest you look for fresh areas where you can trace new highways and waterways.

Let us know if you need help. We have people ready to answer your questions at fb.com/OSMph/community

Hi again, Ernie.

You seem to be doing a lot of similar edits, but overlaying them on existing data. You need not create new highways over existing ones, or you could add additional information, or change their geometry.

If you need some self-paced learning reference, try www.learnosm.org to understand the basics of OpenStreetMap editing.
