Why was here necessary to remove a stream in USA?
And why did you remove all the railways and buildings in Taraz?

Hi, can you please explain your edits?
The building that you are removing are not perfect, but those that you are adding absolutely don't match the true shape nor are at the correct position.

Thanks for clarification.
I assume they will have to remove this trail (relation/12110302) if they restricted access by foot as well.

Yes there is a delay between the live database and their map. I don't know how often the update happens, but I would assume on a scale of days. From what I know trails will then have a text saying "PRIVATE" on them.

As a sidenote, just because a driveway or a trail is privately owned doesn't mean that the access is restricted. For that a gate or a sign saying no trespassing would have to be present. But a tag ownership=private can be added to note the ownership status.

In this regard, is the whole forest road marked as 'no trespassing' or is it only the little stub at the lake. Because it seems that the most of the forest road is inside Great Mountain Forest and was probably meant as a lake access for visitors.

More details on trails and road access tagging can be found here:
osm.wiki/United_States/Trail_Access_Project
access=*#List_of_possible_values

For roads/trails that have restricted access we use access=private tag.
Thanks

Nice job!

That's a good start! You can make the outline of the water more accurate to reality though. When you are editing the data you can switch to a different background in the right-hand side menu or by pressing 'b'.
Then select 'CT ECO Orthoimagery (2019)'. Also helpfull can be hill shade layer from LiDAR data 'CT ECO Shaded Relief'.

Thanks for the update. Is the land around actually a nature reserve or anyhow protected?

Regarding the trails. We keep those in the database, but if there are any usage restrictions this can be marked with `access` tag. e.g. access=private.

If you can't follow the standards of the community, then I am afraid we are not interested in your contributions.

Hi,
can you explain what are you trying to do here? You keep adding and deleting features.

In this case it seem to have been 'rotation'.
On Mac it is activated with Cmd+ shift + drag (on PC should be ctrl + shit + drag) . I also have a feeling that they changed some of the key shortcuts..
You can change them in preferences

Hi, please be careful. You are creating duplicate features like the lake or several of the golf holes.
Also when creating paths, draw a single line that leads along the median.

Ups.. that dragged a whole road.

Hi,
though I don't see a gate nor any no-trespassing signs. If there are no physical or legal restrictions to access the road then we should not put access=private tag on the road. But you can use ownership=private to indicate private ownership instead.

access=private

Hi, thanks for your hard work around CT! Also it seems that you created 9% of all manholes in OSM.

One thing I noticed here is that the Lowe's parking lot might have been recently updated. At least it looks like it from the Maxar Premium Imagery (generally the most recent imagery we have). And so the previous data were probably correct.

Welcome to OSM!
This seems all fine. Just two things:
1) When adding a business, you create a point where you add the information. If the business occupies the whole building you can place the tags on the building itself. But don't do both because then you create duplicate objects.

2) Opening hours follow this syntax: opening_hours=*#Simple_examples

Happy editing!

Nice catch, thanks!
I fixed the street names.

@GLCTStewardship
I added the new parcels to the Westwood relation (11544918) that now groups them together.
If you have a parcel-specific names you can add them to the respective polygons.
Also I noticed that you changed some names to a new format e.g. Heilig property (Sep10) - 3126. I am guessing those are some internal reference numbers. If so ideally they would go to a separate fields like e.g.

name = Heilig property
ref = 3126
start_date = 1985-10-10
( I don't know which year that date refers to. this is just an exmaple)

Hello,
.gpx file are used for storing records from GPS tracking devices and we don't use them for direct uploads to database.
But you can use shapefile (.shp) or .geojson formats to load your data to JOSM and use that for upload. However using JOSM is for more experienced users as one can accidentally cause errors.

Thanks. I fixed the broken State Forest and Westwood boundaries.
There are still multiple objects names as Westwood: several individual parcels and this large relation: relation/11544918
Not sure what the best solution is since the small parcels have some location specific information.
