| 56142705 | Welcome to OSM. You need to orthagonalize your buildings, and use the latest imagery possible, with the correct alignment. The source imagery for this looks out of date.
|
|
| 56169586 | Did you also check the more recent imagery from DigiGlobe, Mapbox, or ESRI? It's not surprising to find the rivers has somewhat changed shape between very old (like Bing) and much newer imageries.

| 56187651 | Edits looks good. Thanks!

| 56135056 | Hi there. If the numbers you've been adding as names in the buildings are their house numbers, you should add them as a value to the key `addr:housenumber` instead

| 56200259 | Hi @Paverne. Could you elaborate about this "Alaminos city map" ? Who is the publisher, and what are the license rights. |
|
| 54857064 | Hi Aaron. I'm curious about this dataset. #hotosm-task-431 project appears to be a task made for Kivu, in Congo but this changeset has been added to a site in the Philippines. Can you elaborate? |

| 56141934 | I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! Kudos for using OpenStreetMap's to create a better map of your community. As you may know, your edit is immediately live in the main OSM site as soon as they've been saved to the database, although other apps may take a few weeks (or months) to refresh their copies. You should use tags that accurately represents the feature you're mapping. A "waiting shed" is not an attraction for tourists. It could be a bus stop, or simply just a shelter. When you have a few minutes to spare, try the browser-based editor called iD, to edit the map of your community. You may find it quicker and easier if you need to update a lot of information on the map. The map that is created in OpenStreetMap is instantly saved in the database and shown on the map almost instantly. Databases that mobile apps (e.g. MagicEarth, Maps.Me, OsmAnd) may take a few weeks or months to update, unless you do a manual update yourself. There's this very short Tips & Tricks page [5] for Philippine contributors, you might want to check out. And do keep in touch through any community channel: mailing list [0], FB [1], G+[4], Telegram [2], or Slack[3] [0]: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/

| 55892287 | It makes sense to use the `old_name` tag to retain the information about the older name, so that they can still be searched in the search engine - and then objects will be rendered with the new name. |
|
| 55941990 | You may also use the `branch` tag to indicate branches of establishments, including offices. |
|
| 54505688 | A meadow is not the same as a park. |
|
| 54505826 | The description is not necessary, when their names are self-explanatory, like in this case - but, thank you for adding details, and making a better map of this neighbourhood. |

| 54538498 | @Nasuke these contributions are awesome! Maraming salamat (thank you.) If you have any questions at all, please feel free to get in touch. You might be doubtful about a particular tag, or would like to clarify their use. Or perhaps, you have ideas you want to flesh out to improve your neighbourhood map. Or maybe just want to know more about Openstreetmap. There's this very short Tips & Tricks page [5] for Philippine contributors, you might want to check out.

| 55757104 | Hi there. Welcome to OSM! You've been tagging an unusually lot of chimneys. Could you tell what these you're actually tagging? |
|
| 55755996 | Still better, of course, would be width=*, but again, there's the big question of how to get that information. |
