suburbs vs neighborhoods - pls look at the definition for each.
There are suburbs stacked practically on top of each other - suburbs render as towns, whereas neighborhoods do not. A cluster of "suburb" nodes will only render one node in almost ALL downstream clients.
As an example - La is definitely a suburb, places like Ringway Estates, North Ridge and Asylum Down are NOT.

Deleted church: Pls identify via node id

You're kinda spamming me with questions so pls be patient as I answer.
Pedestrian street vs footpath
These are streets with street names that do not allow vehicle traffic, versus simple footpaths. Footpaths often do not get rendered downstream, whereas pedestrian streets do. If the street isn't named, fine. Turn it into a footway.

Uhhhhhhh....
Well THAT'S embarrassing. I have no idea what that is, tbh. I used to sometimes make an outline of a feature I was deleting - in case I needed to re-add it later - but I can't imagine that's the case here. I'm not at my computer right now - if this way is unconnected and untagged, please delete it!

Got it - thx!

Give me the way id#

It was supposed to be "alt_name". It has been fixed - thx for letting me know.

Aluu and hello! - Thanks for your contributions, but this is most definitely not how you mark out a trail on OSM. Duplicating a trail over a road tells the map database that there are 2 separate ways there.
Let me know if you want a hand creating relations for these trails you're putting down, I'd be happy to help.
Nakurmiik!

Please DO NOT map outside your area as you just did.

Don't use the "name" or "ref" key to describe what the feature is.
The "ref" field is for highway number, the "name" field is for the proper name of the feature.

fyi - I mapped this 3½ years ago, and Bing imagery from 4 years ago shows the bridge.

110542862

If I remember correctly, there was a social media post about a "tiny bridge" leading to the cabin - if there's no bridge actually there PLEASE fix it! :)

Hey fellow Africa mapper!
2 things: Please don't convert unclassified through roads to "track", that makes them non-routable for most downstream apps.
If the road doesn't connect with any others then it's fine to convert to track.
Second, don't put a layer -1 on an entire stretch of road unless it's in a tunnel. Even though id urges you to do it, it fixes intersection errors by introducing a new error.
Questions gladly answered - happy mapping!

That station position was from previous alignment of the railway which was VERY incorrect. I moved it to the correct location and renamed accordingly.

Merci d'avoir nommé des villages!
Toutefois... S'il vous plait ne pas épeler les noms de lieux en majuscules. Merci

FYI - Chipmunk is the next creek crossing north of Alma Creek. BCR had a siding and spur - the most northerly revenue on the branch came from here. Although track was laid north of there, there was no true revenue traffic from it.

Hey there! Love your West African mapping!
- Just so you know, some of the place names you're creating are actually going into the "population" field instead of the "name" field. I've done it myself - no biggie. Just thought you might like to know!
Cheers!

Greetings - after examination, I've concluded that I've never touched any of those three ways in any changeset that I've submitted.
I was going to see what I could do to remedy your issue, but based on your activity in OSM, you appear to be a thoroughly unpleasant individual and have no actual interest in remediation. Good luck with that.
Just so you're aware, you're going after a globe-spanning group of GIS pros and hobbyists who are obsessed with accurate mapping. If you ever get tired of the back-and-forth, drop me a line via my profile page: (@Greg_Rose)

WHAT goes across private property? This changeset you've put into discussion mode touched/added many different roads and trails. Please identify the way id number(s) you're referring to... or at the VERY least, please give decimal coordinates of the spot in question. The more decimal places the better - five minimum (i.e. 45.57419 N, 122.56975 W).
Thanks...
