146143314

Hello.
When mapping features please pay attention to position them accurately where they actually area. I highly doubt parking lots overlap and go over the top of sections of apartment buildings.

Looking closer at this, there are a couple of issues.
I don't think it should be name "El." in either case. We shouldn't abbreviate names. It could be "IRT Third Avenue Line" like wikipedia suggests or the official name from MTA, or IRT at that time.
But more importantly, I don't think this feature should be mapped AT ALL. From what I see this line was last in service until 1973 and the demolition completed in 1977. There's absolutely nothing left of these segments. OSM is a map of the world NOW, not how it was almost 50 years ago. This should go into OHM.

That's not the point. The purpose of the "name:etymology=" tag is to record for whom/what a given feature is named.

As documented in name:etymology=*, "In general, this key is used when the source of the name for a street (or other element) is not obvious, or when multiple possibilities require disambiguation.

You have "name=Plane View"+"name:etymology=Morris Canal Plane 2W". This doesn't make sense.

iirc there was a discussion on that on the presets github and why rapid is doing it like this.

MapSpot, consider trying RapiD. It has a more robust crosswalk tagging and it automatically syncs tags of crossing way and crossing node making tagging faster and more consistent.

Hello.
You created a small round garden at 1238516132 and named it "Cloverdale Gardens at Bayside".
I think you are mistaging this. I think you want to map a welcome sign with that writing and that patch of grass as 2 separate features.

Hello.
When mapping sidewalks, please split them on the corners/intersections where streets change so that each sidewalks can be independently tagged. Just like we split streets where they change, so should be done with sidewalks.

Hello.
You created a few polygons and tagged them as garden:type=rain. However, that's not a valid tag and not a correct way to tag these features. The correct way to tag them is documented here: man_made=bioswale

Additionally, you created 2 gardens and named them "Cunningham Park Entrance". Are those actual official names of these features or just something you came up with?

Hello.
You give the same wikidata id, but different name:etymology tags? That doesn't seem correct..

I restored the deleted bin tag, but not the address nodes. The issue is not just with this changeset also the other ones where you deleted similar nodes.

You could draw them as a loop, but then just split ways on corners. Doing that allows each street to be independently tagged with surface and lit tags, and width=(if we ever get to that).
In addition to that, it allows extending sidewalks to the appropriate crosswalk curbs for tagging there too.
That 884016012 is 😵‍💫

The way I tend to do it is:
first of all I turn off buildings layer since that speeds up my browser and lowers the chance of accidentally clicking/dragging on something unrelated.
And after mapping everything I zoom out to the whole task box and look over every street to make sure everything is mapped and I didn't miss anything.

Hello.
When mapping sidewalks please split them on each corner. This allows each street to be individually tagged.
Also how come you didn't map crosswalks along Cropsey Ave?

Hello.
When adding bus stop names, please fully spell out their names. ie "73rd Avenue", not "73 Av".

It'd make sense to tag alt_name and loc_name separately if they were different. But since you have the same value for both it kinda doesn't make sense to duplicate the same info twice.

Hello.
You deleted shop=hardware tag from a building, but left "name=Jere's Hardware" tag in place.
