Hi! Please note, street names should be unabbreviated ("Smoky Ridge Road" not "Smoky Ridge Rd") and state names should be capitalized ("WA" not "Wa") - I've fixed these in changeset/178598308.

Thanks for your contributions, and happy mapping!

Hi! Please note, address tags should be two-character values ("WA" not "Washington") - I've fixed this tag in changeset/178596992. Thanks for your contributions, and happy mapping!

Hi! Please note, address tag values should be capitalized ("Elma" not "elma", "WA" not "wa") - I've updated these tags in changeset/178596933. Happy mapping!

Hi, and welcome to OSM!

Note that `addr:state` values should be capitalized (`WA` not `wa`) - I've updated that tag on this object in changeset/178597208.

Thank you for your contribution, and happy mapping!

Hi, Mike! While I understand the good intention behind this edit, valid data must not be removed from OpenStreetMap for reasons of political expediency. I have reverted this changeset in changeset/177452309. Please refrain from any further similar "protection action" - thank you.

That's reasonable!

I started a forum thread to get some others' thoughts: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gtfs-namespace-key-formatting/140506

Hi Lauren - no problem :) It's a pretty easy mistake to make, as when selecting a box in JOSM, the nodes are selected as well. Fortunately, these errors don't have any real impact on routing, so it's not a big deal. Happy mapping!

Hi! Note, the sidewalk presence tags (`sidewalk:left=*`, `sidewalk:right=*`, and `sidewalk:both=*`) are only applicable on ways, not nodes.

Hi! Thank you for helping with mapping public transit in Seattle!

I broadly agree with your changes - unabbreviating the street names in the `name=*` value is in line with OSM best practices, and I'll continue forward that practice in any of my future edits.

I also agree that we need some GTFS feed namespacing as doing so is the best way to avoid key conflicts.

I'm not sure about the format, though: I see you went with `gtfs:$field:$feed=*`, but namespacing in `ref=*` (for example) generally follows a `ref:$identifier:$field=*`, as in `ref:US-WA:SDOT:UNITID=*`.

What are your thoughts on switching to `gtfs:$identifier:$field=*`, as in `gtfs:stop_id:US-WA-KCM=29640` → `gtfs:US-WA-KCM:stop_id=29640`?

I don't have a very strong opinion one way or the other, but I'm happy to discuss! Thanks again.

Hi! What is meant by "light:count=4.20"?

Hi! Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap.

A bit of feedback: There's no need to add "*=unknown" tags - the absence of the tag is considered equivalent to "*=unknown".

I've removed these in changeset/175259523.

Happy Mapping!

Because of a JOSM bug, this changeset was uploaded with the same changeset comment as changeset/175258261. Apologies.

The actual comment for this changeset should be: "Update locations and Mapillary tags on bike racks and remove their imported "note=*" tags."

Hi! This edit was made based on the discussion in https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bus-stop-aggiunta-di-bus-yes/127800/8 and the posts by ToniE, developer of PTNA, who I trust knows PTv2 better than me!

I don't feel too strongly on it - validator flags are just that, not necessarily to be followed, but unfortunately their existence forms a lot of inertia. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi, thanks for catching those and for reaching out to ask about them! They are present in the source dataset and not intended to be uploaded to OSM. I've removed those tags in changeset/173332231 and additionally checked using Overpass that there are no other instances of those tags having been incorrectly added. I'll also make changes to my process to ensure those aren't added in future edits.

Thank you!

Hi Keith, I'm glad you were able to identify the source of the issue and how to avoid it in the future! Thanks for actively responding here in the changeset comments, and happy mapping!

Deleted duplicate of node/13000000101

Thank you for working to standardize the tagging of these! Happy mapping!

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I have confirmed via their website that "CBT Center House" is indeed the correct name.
