amenity=fountain is for decorative fountains. You can always refer to the wiki to see how the tag is expected to be used. For example, the page for drinking water: amenity=drinking_water

You can refer to the "Useful combinations" section, or just look at the fields that iD presents you with.

Welcome to OSM! A few things - please don't use generic names like "house" - the name key should only be used for the name that the object is referred to as. Also, please press "Q" to square the corners of objects you draw using iD. Happy mapping!

Is this a drinking fountain/water fountain? If so, you can tag it with amenity=drinking_water instead

You dragged some nodes around from Hillard road. I fixed it, but please be careful!

Please don't use descriptive names. I fixed the tagging of the retaining pond, but maybe you could help identify whether it is for detention or retention? If it is is for detention, you probably will be able to identify a clear inflow and outflow.

That isn't meant to be a gotcha or anything, I really hope that this sort of work "surfacing" older/outdated data will help with getting POIs updated. There's a bot on mastodon which does something similar: https://botsin.space/@restobot

Thanks for your response. I'm familiar with the check_date tag, I just haven't seen it being used in such a way (adding an older date). Are you using this for BTCMap in some way? I'm curious how you determine whether the user actually surveyed its existence or not? For example, on this POI node/7056211216 , check_date was set to 2023-03-17, and the changeset from that date was someone doing tag cleanup with Osmose - almost certainly not a survey.

The highway=crossing nodes are not indicating the existence of a traffic signal. They show where there is a signalized pedestrian crossing. I added them back

I have removed this railway as it is not present at all.

changeset/146998494

Can you explain what "bump check date" means? Where is the information for when it is last checked coming from?

Some of these (for example, the football pitch at the high school) seem to still exist. Can you explain why?

You deleted a lot of objects in this changeset. Was that intentional?

On OSM we map what's on the ground, and to me it seems like this is not present at all today. If you want to map historical routes, I recommend checking out OpenHistoricalMap. They are working on a new map layer for rail which might be of interest to you.

building=* areas should match the footprint of the building. Also, please press "Q" to square corners of areas as needed.
