Hi, the footpritns you added here generally represent buildings and do so quite accurately, if they were smaller than the roofs that'd be fantastic.

Thank you for your contribution. If you want to experience the OSM community or to get timely feedback from other mappers; I recommend that you attend a mapathon. You can find events here https://osmcal.org/

Thank you for your contribution!

The footprints you mapped here envelope multiple buildings and are therefore invalid. It looks like you loosely traced plots and yards. I reverted this changeset.

Each footprint should represent a building. Please watch [this video about imagery interpretation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ-vUwtS3A8). Sometimes buildings may appear to share a common wall, but this is sometimes an illusion; only map them with shared nodes if you have reason to believe that they really do touch.

When mapping buildings, please trace the shape accurately. Accurate building footpritns aid population estimates and prevent issues like data overlaps. Zoom out to obtain the orientation and shape, then zoom in so that you can accurately draw the footprint. Exclude shadows and yards when tracing the footprint. Keep in mind that you are looking at the [roofs of buildings](roof:shape=*#Roof_shape), but mapping their footprints. Depending on how the scene is lit, pitched roofs may have light and dark sections that belong to one building. Generally pitched roofs overhang the walls of a building, so a footprint slightly smaller than the roof is accurate. You can scale selected features in ID with `shift+(-/+)`, or JOSM with `ctrl.+alt+Lclick & drag`. Take care to make contributions that others can build upon.

Keep on mapping!

If the features you mapped here are in fact buildings they likely have more regular/ less complex shapes. Please keep this feedback in mind when contributing in future.

Good to see you cross referencing another source but these buildings are no longer visible in Bing, so most likely no longer exist. Use alternate sources to aid your interpretation, but unless you know a source to be more recent, then don't add buildings only visible in it.

Thank you for your contribution!

Please do not connect the corners of buildings to other buildings or features such as highways or residential areas. In the iD Editor, hold down the `Alt` key to prevent your cursor from snapping to existing data and accidentally creating shared(grey) nodes. This [video about connected nodes](https://youtu.be/ltn1VOiq5_0) has more information and a guide.

Keep on mapping!

Thank you for your contribution!

After tracing and tagging features which are likely square or round, please remember to square their corners `q`, or circularise them `o`, because it is almost impossible and time consuming to draw shapes so percisely manually. Buildings with metal or pitched roofs tend to have square corners; round buildings are identifiable by the distinctive cresent shaped shadow they cast. Unless the building is clearly a different shape then it's best to assume that it should be rounded or its corners should be squared. In the ID Editor, you can `right click` for access to editing functions. Since roofs tend to overhang walls trace the initial shape slightly smaller to allow a buffer for any change in size which may occur. In JOSM use the [buildingstools plugin](osm.wiki/JOSM/Plugins/BuildingsTools). In ID you must draw the shape accurately enough if you want every corner to be squared. This [video about squaring features in ID](https://youtu.be/Xs5wX592E1o) has more information and a demo.

Keep on mapping!

Hi, the footprints you added here are generally valid and appropriately shaped, however they could be more accurate.

also don't fret about deleting the POI; I restored it in https://osmcha.org/changesets/175943947

Hi, the footprints you mapped here envelop multiple buildings. There are barriers around clusters of buildings here.

Each footprint should represent a building. Please watch [this video about imagery interpretation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ-vUwtS3A8). Sometimes buildings may appear to share a common wall, but this is sometimes an illusion; only map them with shared nodes if you have reason to believe that they really do touch.

Hi, you deleted a place POI, I restored it, only delete features if they do not exist.

Hi, the vast majority of footprints here are valid, though could be more accurate. good going mapping the semicircle here, but it looks to me that it represents a yard and not a building.

Hi, it's good that you're taking care to preserve the history, however personally I would have deleted or reverted footprints this inaccurate rather than replacing their geometry, becasue this to me pretty much falls into mixing the history. You can check the history of elements with ctrl+h, before deleting to be sure there's no additional data in previous versions.

Thanks for reconfiguring and aligning the highways here too.

I do not think this footprint represents a building. There is perhaps a building just a few meters East of it.
