Fixing a code issue, does not mean you can add random things to OSM database. You can keep your "reference notes" locally in you browser cash without uploading to live data.

Of course you are welcome to edit OSM, but your contributions need to be meaningful and high quality.

* In you past edits I saw that you added website links to google Maps. That is not allowed.

* You added descriptive house numbers ("positioned between 7th Street and Kenilworth Avenue"). This is not helpful to OSM.

* Or you added just summarizing description when all that information is already in OSM. description=Circle K (petrol pump) besids 7th street - This is again low quality edit.

I suggest you take a walkthrough tutorial offered by iD editor, read our documentation on wiki.openstreetmap.org
And if you need help don't hesitate to reach community at https://community.openstreetmap.org/

Cheers

I don't know what you are doing, but you can't be adding some private notes into live OSM data.

Hi and welcome to OSM!
When adding a business or POI, it has to be placed exactly where its office physically reside ideally with filled in address.

Hi and thanks for editing OSM!
Just in this case this is not correct. "Park" in OSM is considered as public area with maintained greenery and used for leisure activities.
You can read more about the description here: leisure=park

Hi and welcome to OSM!
Your edits are good, but just a couple of comments.

- landuse=* tag goes on areas that cover some land and not on the buildings themselves. E.g. if it's a residential area it encompasses buildings, parking lots, parks,..

- when you are finished drawing a building you can press Q to make it's angles 90˚

I went ahead and removed the landuse tag from those buildings.

Cheers

Hi,
this all seem good. I just added lane_markings=no.

In your other changes I fixed phone number format to +1-203-XXX-YYYY

Thanks for your edits!

Hi,
I am personally not aware of CT law that prohibits public access to roads with sign "private road". Could you post a link to the legal text?

To my knowledge, "private road" is information about ownership and some of these roads are even serviced by public street cleaning. On other hand, trespassing law requires to give notice that entry isn't allowed by a 'no trespassing' sign which has legal effect.

There has been a prior discussion about this in the US OSM community and it seems the majority agrees that these roads should be tagged as access=permissive + ownership=private.

Hi,
here again does not seem to be any gate or no trespassing sign present.
cheers

Hi,
I am trying to reach out again. The road does not appear to have a gate or official 'no trespassing' sign. In this case access=permissive is appropriate.

cheers

Hi and welcome to OSM!

Thanks for the edits, they look very good. Though are you sure about presence of this pond (way/1479058608)? There is nothing visible in any imagery nor in LiDAR data. Also as a note, name=* tag is for actual names like Nepaug Reservoir and not for descriptive names i.e. "pond".

Cheers

Hi,
thanks for edits! Just noticed that you forgot to split the sidewalk at Fairfield Avenue and tag it as crossing.

Welcome to OSM!
Just wanted to make sure that the data is used with permission from their owner. OSM has a strict policy on which data can be imported and license compatibility.

Cheers.
