Hi there. When tracing buildings, remember to avoid connecting them to other objects (buildings, roads, etcetera) unless they are physically connected in real life.

Buildings are rarely directly connected to roads.

Good work, @norbertombueno!

When adding farmlands, you don't need to add a place name that describe it's function (eg. "Ricefields"). Instead, add a tag crop=rice in the area that you digitized as such.


This image shows how "squared" buildings should look like. The two buildings you did earlier (red outline) still show the angular edge where you traced the rooftops, which we don't usually trace as-is.

Maayo!

You seem to be particularly interested in local schools, would you need any more assistance on this?

Ideally, changeset comments should describe the changes you made so that future editors can understand your edits better.

You need to tag the grounds as a school, and not as a separate node/point.

Buildings normally has squared corners, while yours edits try to follow the rooftop shapes, hence the angular sides. When mapping buildings, what we're really after are building footprints, and tracing rooftops allow us to, more or less, determine that.

I'll modify this changeset and you can review it yourself, to see how we conventionally do it.

If you have questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to task. We have various channels you can try if you have questions, or wish to know more local mappers: osm.wiki/PH/channels

Hello @norbertombueno, and welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Thank you! Kudos for helping make a better map of your favorite neighborhoods. OSM is a database of real-world features, used by many humanitarian and emergency service organizations. Fictional edits has no place in OSM.

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 OSM.

@Fran S. Thank you for taking a look at this. This looks like case of mistagged unclassified+tracks

Hello Tee_jay 1631. Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions.

I noticed in your edits that you've been appending "®veoIII" to the features names.

Kindly refrain from doing this because those features don't have that string as part of their names in the real world. OSM is about creating a better map of our favorite neighborhoods, and we want to make them as accurate as possible.

If you're interested in determining what you've been adding to OSM, try this Overpass Turbo query: http://pygy.co/GM

Let me know if you need help redacting this string from the features you made.

Hello @Frsaiop, and welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Thank you! Kudos for helping make a better map of your favorite neighborhoods. OSM is a database of real-world features, used by many humanitarian and emergency service organizations. Fictional edits has no place in OSM.

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.

Hi there.

I can see that you're diligently trying to map the buildings within this neighborhood, but you're missing the step where you need to "tag" the feature as a building

If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask, or checkout the docs at osm.wiki

Hello @0123_.

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

I can see that you're trying to map buildings, but you missed tagging them correctly. Watch this video to learn how to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJz-AucqF4

Additional, self-paced learning modules are also available from www.learnosm.org.

Hi again @Camille Ramos.

I can see that you're putting in a lot of effort for this. Thank you!

However, there are issues here that needs fixing. Like not "squaring" building corners, overlapping polygons, and incorrect tags.

I'm looking forward to hear back from you, so I could offer help to rectify these.

Hello @Camille Ramos. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I noticed your recent changesets, and you appear to be trying to map buildings but the features you digitized are just tagged as "area=yes."

Also, changeset comments should provide a description of the edits you made, and not just a ".".

I would recommend that you check out the MapGive instructions about learning how to map: https://www.mapgive.state.gov/learn-to-map/

Or, the self-paced learning modules at https:.//learnosm.org.

If you have questions, you can reach out to other active contributors from the local community through any of the channels found here: osm.wiki/PH/channels

Ayo-ayo,
GOwin

These POIs look great, @Mikko.

Some tags, though, are incomplete. Check out to the documented tags at osm.wiki/Philippines/Mapping_conventions for reference.

Do say, if you need any help with the tags.

Thank you for mapping for #ompongPH @servolevis.

I reviewed your recent edits, and noticed that you can do better next time by trying to map building footprints more accurately by zooming in further, and squaring buildings corners to improve their geometry.

Also, separate buildings must be traced individually. Mapping multiple buildings with one polygon is not the ideal way to map them. We understand that this could become tedious, but it's alright to simply select a smaller task, or split an assigned to task, so it becomes more manageable for you.

Intepreting imagery takes some getting used to, so just remember that in this task, we're mapping building footprints, and you should avoid digitizing areas outside the building, like shadows or the likes.

We hope you'd try your hand in other tasks soon, and again thank you for your time and effort.

Cheers,

Hello @GeoStudent. Thank you for mapping contributions. These edits are awesome. Kudos!

Leizel, these buildings you've been adding are not squared at all.

Thank you for you contributions. Kindly remember to square building corners you digitize. Just press the 's' key when a building is selected.

@masumune, when digitizing features, and when you're using the Tasking Manager, make sure that you only work within your "cell", and that you don't duplicate features that has been previously digitized.

It's better to direct your efforts in identifying and tracing unmapped features.

In this case, the road way/622255280 is a duplicate of another road created two weeks earlier, way/618963885.

When classifying roads, use the appropriate highway tags (e.g, secondary, unclassified, etc) depending on their function in the local road network. Do not tag for the renderer.

@josephpada. You need to validate these, the buildings are not squared, and you are tracing the zigzag edge of the roof, instead of drawing straight edges.
