Pedro, you were working off of Bing satellite imagery that is over two years old. You didn't fix anything here, you just screwed it up...

Hi there, just a heads up: the address of this building was already correct, so I've reverted your change. 1910 7th Street is the neighbouring property's address.

Hi there, just a heads up that you inadvertently pulled a node connected a couple parking aisles across the map (I've fixed it). Friendly reminder to be mindful of not doing that; I'm sure we all have at one point or another.

This "was not on the map" because it does not exist.

Hello again. I noticed you added the outline of the former quarry that was on Nose Hill. It's true that there once was a quarry there, but OSM is for mapping things that are "both real and current" (see osm.org/welcome). The quarry was closed decades ago; it's all now parkland, covered with aspen trees and scrub. I've therefore removed it.

FYI there is a similar project to OSM called "Open Historical Map" where mapping historical uses is the whole purpose of the project. I've added a few things from the Calgary area to it; they're currently migrating servers. See https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/

Hi there, FYI I changed this from a "minor/unclassified road" to a "path", as there is no vehicle access here anymore. You can still tag paths with info such as you did here, with a paved surface and a description that it was once a service road.

Cheers!

There are a few small buildings already on the map; you've added a warehouse building on top of them, that covers the entirety of the property. What I'm really getting at is: is there really a warehouse BUILDING—storage garage, whatever you want to call it—that covers the ***entirety of the parcel***?

The Bing Maps satellite photo doesn't show this. Esri satellite photo doesn't show this. Google Maps satellite photo doesn't show this. City of Calgary aerial photos don't show this. City of Chestermere photos at https://app.munisight.com/CityofChestermere/Content/Site/MainPage.aspx?siteId=1 don't show this.

I don't frequent Chestermere very often but I have friends who live there, and I take a right from eastbound Chestermere Blvd to southbound Rainbow Rd to get to their house, and I personally don't recall there being a giant warehouse building at that intersection.

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm wondering if you really meant to tag this with a landuse; as a storage YARD, not a storage BUILDING.

Is there really a warehouse building here?

Since when has this alley not existed? It was still there when I drove past two days ago...

Note that I have also added temporary road segments which are to be demolished as the construction progresses, and tagged them with fixme notes stating so. Some segments will be permanent, but are temporarily allowing two-way traffic where they will eventually be one-way, or the traffic flow is currently reversed from what the final design will look like.

Hello ksali,

You've deleted the access tunnels that I added about two years, which I'm personally not all that torn up about and don't really care if they're put back or not, but I want to caution you to be careful about deleting things off the map simply because "they should not be used for wayfinding" by virtue of being "inaccessible".

In this case the UofC campus service tunnels are perfectly accessible, just not to *you* or anyone else in the general public. But they do exist, and service personnel can and do use them. They were appropriately tagged with "access=private". If you were using some other piece of wayfinding software—using OSM data—was incorrectly suggesting the service tunnels that's on the developer of the software to fix, not to manipulate the OSM data to suit.

A longstanding policy of OSM is "don't tag for the renderer" (see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer), meaning in other words "don't manipulate OSM data to make it 'prettier' for someone or something else to use". The article at the OSMwiki gives a similar example to the UofC service tunnels: the tunnels at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. They're certainly not publicly accessible but they do exist and therefore are on the map (tagged as "access=private").

Again, I don't mean to be confrontational, but please don't just delete stuff off the map because it's not publicly accessible.

Cheers

FYI several of the buildings you added in this changeset were previously removed because the buildings no longer exist. E.g. you deleted a brownfield site at the corner of 18th Avenue and Macleod Trail and replaced it with the buildings shown on the Bing satellite imagery, but these buildings were in fact demolished (and previously removed from the map) a couple years ago.

I have since deleted the buildings in question and replaced them with construction zones (or in the case of the old Underwood Block on 1st Street, the new "The Underwood" apartment building).

Please be careful about simply following background satellite imagery; it's not as current as you might think or hope

Hi there Sam,

You appear to have changed the postal code of this restaurant from T2L 1K8 to T2L 1L1. Both are valid postal codes for addresses on Brentwood Road NW, but according to the restaurant's website (https://www.brentwood.jamesonspubs.com/) their postal code is T2L 1K8. Double-checking with Canada Post's online postal code lookup tool (https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf) also substantiates that the postal code for 3790 Brentwood Rd NW is T2L 1K8.

Can you provide a source for the T2L 1L1 postal code?

Hello Harry,

Thank you for joining and contributing to OpenStreetMap. I have quickly reviewed your edits.

You have mistakenly added the house numbers to the 'name' key in the five houses you edited. "Name" should be used to add the proper name of an object in the map, and only the name (as opposed to a description, address, etc.). Most houses don't have names.

The address numbers you added should instead be tagged using the "addr:housenumber" key. I have made the change to 5212 as an example, refer to way/590019548.

This consulting firm's offices are certainly not located in the middle of a shopping mall.

Based on the address you added, this office is located across the street and down a block; in the Royal Bank Building. Please be more mindful of where you're adding offices like this.

Good luck! :)

Hi,

Everyone appreciates your contributions, but please be careful when you're making changes. In the process of adding the Aura Spa on 4th St SW you inadvertently dragged a node on 11th Avenue far out of place. I've fixed the issue; please just be mindful.

Thanks.

You are making changes to administrative boundaries, but it is not clear what is it you've changed. Please elaborate in your changeset comments.

I see now that this was your first edit; thanks for participating and I hope you continue to contribute!

A little point of advice for you: you changed the names of Hochwald Ave west of Quesnay Wood Drive and Hochwald Court to "<roadname> (closed)". The "name" field is for the name of an object, not for a description. If you need to add a description you can, the iD editor can easily add it. In this case to show that the road is closed to traffic all you needed to do was change "access" to "no", which you did.

Again, thanks for contributing, I'm sure everyone appreciates having another local editor around.

Hi, I noticed that in your changes here you deleted a bunch of proposed roads in Currie Barracks. Is there any particular reason why you did this? They were added based on the plans in submitted to the City in LOC2014-0109. (see https://www.660citynews.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/sites/8/2015/02/currie-barracks-plans.jpg) The idea was the tagging from "highway=proposed" to "highway=residential" (or whatever) could be done later, after the roads are built. Deleting them just means someone will have to do them from scratch, again...
