Hi ClockCruncher and welcome to OSM!

So you're aware, in this edit you changed the administrative boundary for Mattawan to a road. Obviously, this wasn't intentional, so I set it back. You might want to double-check any future changes you make though, just to be safe :).

Happy mapping!

This seems like an interesting place? A beach, park, church, and dinner all in the same location?

Hi and welcome to OSM! This is how we define a park:
leisure=park?uselang=en
Unfortunately, a backyard doesn't count. In order to keep the map useful, please map carefully :).

Hi Meedit67 and welcome to OSM.

Regarding your recent edit: Do you have more information about this park? It looks very much like a private rural property.

This is how we define a park on OpenStreetMap:
leisure=park?uselang=en

Por favor no agregue características falsas al mapa.

Oh! That's no problem at all!

I personally have tended to favour churchyard in contexts where a church has additional associated features such as a community hall, playground or other similar outside features over religious landuse because I feel the latter lacks a certain specificity (christian+religious landuse could imply any number of things).

They're both normally perfectly valid in these kind of contexts (landuse=religious) and (landuse=churchyard).

I'd hazard a guess that eventually, some day in the future, the standards for landuse=religious will probably be further refined (maybe something like religious=churchyard?) and landuse=churchyard will probably be declared superseded. But things on OSM happen slowly and not always in the way one would predict.

Hi Meyer,

Are you sure these are tennis courts are definitely here? Some imagery that looks like it might be newer than Bing at this time shows that these might have been replaced with a parking lot and building?

I've also followed up with the mapper who originally added the park (within the past 24 hours) as some imagery that appears to be newer than Bing seems to indicate that these courts may have been removed.

Hi, Welcome back to OSM! Have you checked out the OSM wiki? osm.wiki/Main_Page
You can find many ways to tag new features listed there. The name= key should be reserved for actual names such as the "Carl Sagan Gazebo" as opposed to just a description like "Pool". I updated some of the changes you made here so you can check them if you need some examples.
Happy mapping :)

Thank you for fixing this up, edbort.

This is much better now.

I noticed you were trying to punch a hole for the garden bed - the best way to do this is to use a multipolygon and an "inner" area, I did one for you so you can see. holes in other features are much easier to draw this way and cause less issues rendering etc.

Best thing is, you still get your nesting area and it all appears to be real. Well done :)

Please do not add fake features to OSM. They will be removed.

73441894

You've got to be trolling, jeez louise.

73441894

Yeah, I don't think you understand how this works. No zigzagging paths = no zigzagging paths, even if you take 1,000 pictures of other, unrelated paths.

73441894

Honestly, man, just re-read what you wrote in the context of this discussion and then maybe pack away your strawman argument. If you want to add the path *between your shed and house* or to your pool shelter, by all means, do it.

Further vandalism will be removed and you will be reported to the DWG again should it happen.

73441894

Do I really need to explain what you're doing here to you? I think you're quite aware of it.

My request was "showing literally any footway at this location that zigzags remotely like this".

You've cherry picked the first part of my request and sent me photos of the footpath between the house and the garage/shed and a few stepping stones out to garden features. no long zigzagging looping paths to be seen.

73441894

You're just being purposefully obtuse.

73441894

You can't be serious...

73441894

Well, if you're driving out there specifically, I want this part:

Okay then, how about this - you send me a photo showing literally any footway at this location that zigzags remotely like this:

Should be fairly easy.

73441894

Okay:
1) We cannot use Google Maps or Apple Maps as a source.
2) You made false reports to these sites to add these features anyway, so they are about as reliable as my drunk uncle.
3) You are attempting to do the same with Niantic games and are repeatedly being blocked from doing so.
4) You have been asked *multiple* times not to add these features back.
5) There is obviously no magical moving footways around your house.
