Changeset When Comment
172425503

Hey there! Thanks for all the contributions you've been making.

Your changeset comment caught my attention because you mentioned "street view". To clarify, Google's Street View unfortunately cannot be used to add data to OpenStreetMap under most circumstances due to licensing concerns.

However, Microsoft has granted permission for Bing Streetside imagery to be used for OpenStreetMap. iD can show Bing imagery within the editor (Map Data > Photo Overlays > Bing Streetside).

Can you confirm whether or not you are using Google-owned imagery? Or are you referring to Bing imagery as Street View?

Please see osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#Contributing for more info.

Thanks again for the contributions, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Oh, never mind, this looks like it was fixed. I had the wrong changeset number. My apologies.

I updated this trail to abandoned:highway=path.

172457533

Thanks! If the trail is still there, though, it probably should be replaced with a disused:highway=path or abandoned:highway=path tag instead. That way, OpenStreetMap will be true to what is on the ground (one of the policies), while also not displaying the trail in most renderers. See osm.wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F for further reading if you're interested.

Thanks again for your contribution, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey @VLD280, what leads you to believe this is an informal crosswalk? It looks like a legal crosswalk to me.

Thank you for the information, this looks good! Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Thank you for this information. Contributions from locals with local knowledge are very valuable for improving the map.

Since this is an abandoned trail, not a removed one, it's more appropriate to mark is as abandoned (abandoned:highway)=* than to delete it. I've added the trail back as an abandoned trail.

Please see osm.wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F and osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix for more info, and feel free to ask any questions here.

Thanks again, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Thank you for your concern about the local environment. However, deleting a trail in OpenStreetMap is unfortunately not the correct way to address this issue.

Is this trail publicly owned/operated (i.e. managed by the local government), or is this private property? Depending on the situation on the ground, there may be better ways to help this issue.

Please see osm.wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F for more information.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your review @Cookie Guru and thanks for the edits @Fatimah Abanur. If you provide more details, we would be happy to help get this mapped correctly.

Looks like you swapped the building and address unit tags on the node and building. I switched those around for you, thanks for the info!

It doesn't look like address coverage is very good in this apartment complex (though it's generally fairly good within Seattle, so I'm not sure what happened here). That unfortunately means the delivery drivers' maps might not be using OpenStreetMap (though they might be combining OSM with another data source...), so I'm not sure this will drastically improve your delivery service.

But thanks for the contribution anyway! Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Hey there! I haven't gone through and done a full review, but these changes look okay so far. That said, in the future, it's helpful for other mappers if you try to keep the changes you make in a single changeset within a relatively small area, and limit the number of changes in a changeset.

Are you new to OpenStreetMap?

Happy mapping!

Several months later, as a more experienced mapper, I now realize that this changeset was in error: micro-mapping of parking stalls is a real thing. Sorry!

haha, it took a while for somebody to notice way/1414386787 (see note/4952611). But please don't map made-up things in the future, we don't want to start a trend of vandalism.

No problem! Awesome job on adding all these buildings etc. Anthon is looking great!

171663575

Nice work on all the mapping around Anthon! One point of feedback: on the Cenex gas station, since it's one feature, the two separate roofs shouldn't each have the station info. I moved that to a separate way way/1428209214

Happy mapping!

Cool, this looks good to me. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks for the contribution, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Your edit looks good, thanks! This is helpful info that sometimes gets missed.

Whoops, that's not quite what I wanted the reverter to do. I'll do the rest manually.

Thanks for the contributions. Isn't this building a house, though? I know the other buildings surrounding are mostly just tagged as generic "buildings," but that's only because nobody's checked what kind of building they are yet. Please feel free to change any houses tagged as buildings to be mapped as houses instead.

Thanks again, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Hey @Felix borges! The building you edited looks like an apartment building to me. Can you confirm that you chose the correct building (and whether the business fills the entire building or is just located within it)? Thanks!
