Hi and welcome to OSM!
Just a small correction, name=* tag is intended for a specific given name of the object. e.g. The Empire State Building

Hi,
Don't delete existing objects. Also don't create "lollipop" extensions to avoid multipolygons.
Read up on how to correctly edit here: leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls

Failure to comply with community editing standards will result in block of your account.

Hi,
Thanks for editing, but please don't add hole numbers into name= tag. This belongs to the ref=* tag on golf=hole lines.
Also don't create overlaps between features. If there is a hole in some feature, create multipolygon.
More detail on how to correctly edit OSM can be found here: leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls

Hi,
thanks for editing, but please don't create overlaps between different golf features polygons.
For more details please read this wiki page: leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls

Hi,
Please don't use name=* tag on greens, fairways and holes. Hole number belong only to ref=* tag on golf=hole lines.
Thanks

Sorry but you can't treat OSM like your personal playground. There are many projects and companies depending on this data. Please stick to the community established editing standards. If your software is not compatible then you'll have to post-process the data or fix your software.

Please don't do that again.

Those are not just lines. They are part of multipolygon that defines rough. Please read about multipolygons before doing further edits osm.wiki/Relation:multipolygon

Please follow the community editing guidelines. Use multipolygons where needed and don't delete exiting objects.

Not following the guidelines will result in blocking of your account.

Hi,
Please don't add non-existent railways. Always check with imagery or with survey if the tracks are still there.

Sorry, there was a recent road reclassification in CT and I am just trying to prevent it from getting mixed up again.
Maybe you are right. Try asking Jack (@jnighan) what he thinks about that.

Hi and thanks for editing OSM!

Just a few corrections on the way you are editing the data:
1) Please don't create "lollipop" extensions instead of proper polygon holes and don't overlap fairways with green areas. see here for more details: leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls

2) Don't add hole number into name for golf=hole objects. Those belong to ref= tag.

3) When you are drawing buildings, please trace the exact building shape from aerial imagery and press Q to adjust the corner angles. Don't just draw a random quadrangle at the building location.

4) When editing an object, adjust its shape by dragging existing nodes or adding new nodes. Don't delete whole objects and replace them with new shapes.

Not complying with community standards of mapping will result in blocking of your account.
Happy mapping!

Hi zzmzzm,
the path really there. Just take a stroll through the park.

Thanks Andrew!

I assume you are talking about this map from Hamden GIS: https://server2.mapxpress.net/webdata/Hamden/Zoning_Map/Hamden_Zoning_Map.pdf

Most likely those parcels are left for a possible extension of the exiting roads in case of a further residential development in the area. This is a bit of a controversial topic with many discussions (osm.wiki/Talk:Parcel). I've mostly seen people being against including parcel/zoning data into OSM, because how much effort it takes to keep it up to date.
Though the tag should definitely be changed. There are few instances of `parcel=*` so maybe something like `parcel=yes`.

fixed it.

Hi David,
is this public land (way/1035108025) protected or anyhow important? `boundary=administrative` is though not the correct tag for it. It is used for administrative areas like countries, states, ...

Hi,
please when editing do not delete existing features, but rather modify their shape by dragging points.
Also the shapes that you draw were of worse quality than those that were there before.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the great work on hiking trails. CT is starting to look really good.
Though I've just had a recent discussion that some of the trails might not exist any more. For example this trail way/1032794466 seems to have been completely physically removed by the land management.
Are you using Strava traces to add some of the trails? I think we might want to be more careful about those. A in-person survey would be the best solution to make sure that the trails still exist.
It also brings a bunch of issues that the Trail Working Group is trying to solve on OSM US Slack. Often bikers or hikers create their own routes that then show up on Strava and after they are being added to OSM, more people start to use them, which causes unwanted traffic and soil erosion. As you can imagine this goes against the nature conservation efforts.

Current idea is that if the trail does not exist, don't map it. If it exists and has sign prohibiting use, add `access=no`. If path is clearly not made for official use mark it `informal=yes`. More in depth information is summarized on this wiki page osm.wiki/United_States/Trail_Access_Project

cheers

Hi zzmzzm. Actually the path is there. You can also check on Maxar premium imagery, which is the most up to date.

Cheers
