Oh yep, I forgot to mention that I had resolved the issue. Thanks for checking!

Keep up the great work, thank you for making changes to the map.

Hi there! Thanks for improving the map.

Please note that when we trace buildings we want to trace the *base* of the building, not the roof line. Some of the adjustments you made to these building outlines moved the building away from the base to the roofline. When imagery is taken off-center and projected onto the flat map, the building will appear to "lean". More information about this effect can be seen here: osm.wiki/Roof_modelling#Typical_errors_in_the_interpretation_of_roof_geometry_from_aerial_images

Also, it's very useful to add entrance information, but there are specific tags for that and the information shouldn't be left in the "name" field. Please look for the "Entrance" preset in the map editor and put the address information in there instead.

Hello! Thanks for coming through Minnesota and making these changes. A couple comments, though:

1. The text you added as "name" tags should probably have gone in the "official_name". The roads aren't primarily signed using these names and aren't used in everyday conversation about these highways.
2. There were a couple emergency turnarounds that you deleted that still seem to exist. Please be careful when removing these.

A tailor does more work than just alterations, but from the perspective of using existing OSM tagging it probably makes sense to use craft=tailor.

Ok done! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Typically we improve the existing data rather than deleting everything and remapping. You're likely encountering the rate limiting because of deleting so many elements as a new user. If I revert all your deletions, you could improve the existing data and encounter less rate limiting. Let me know if that's of interest to you.

Err, *British and American :-)

In the context of a shop, "alterations" is a common English (both British and English) word meaning to alter clothing for a better fit.

There was just a duplicate building. No worries!

Hi! I'm also mapping this town, so please make sure to grab the latest data before continuing to map so that we don't create duplicates.

Please confirm that you aren't copying address data from Bing Maps. We can use their satellite layer to trace, but we can't copy address data from other mapping providers.

Hello! Thanks for making a change to the map. Please note that the route you added already exists and is routeable by bikes. Is there a particular app you're using that isn't suggesting this connection?

Please don't map fake places on OpenStreetMap. The data is meant to represent the real world. Please reply here if you have any questions about how OpenStreetMap works.
