Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thanks for contributing! Remember that when drawing buildings, you can press "Q" or right-click and select "Square" to make a building perfectly rectangular. Also, street names in OSM should have their suffixes spelled out, instead of abbreviated, so "Terrace" instead of "Terr."

Thanks for confirming that the road signs are changing (a "request" doesn't mean they actually changed). Since these are linked to Wikidata, the main "name" field at the top is disabled for protection, but you can still edit the "name" tag in the "tags" section at the bottom.

Hello, do you have a source for this? Is the street name on the signs being updated? This changeset only changes the Wikidata linked, not the names of the road segments.

Hello! Please try to keep your edits to either one topic or one area, and use the changeset description to describe in more detail what you changed and why—for example, "Added details to school parking lot," and "Added symbols to routes." Additionally, it looks like relation/108619 has an error, where the "to" and "symbol" fields were combined.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! OSM is a live database of real places used by hundreds of maps with millions of users. Any edits that you make are live and visible to everyone, so please make sure what you add is real before saving your changes!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! This is a database used by maps around the world. If you need to test something, please use the development server: https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org . The tags on OSM objects all mean things that the community has agreed to, and these tags are used by real apps. Removing amenity=post_box means it's not a post box anymore! The name= key also has its own rules: osm.wiki/Names#Good_practice

Thanks for confirming you didn't use Streetview! When saving a changeset, you can specify how you got the information in the "sources" field. "Local knowledge" would be the one you would want in this case. Specifying your sources like this will help avoid confusion in the future.
