| 5 | 2025-03-06 22:53 | Xanadu_Contractor ♦21 | Notice the precedent here, that we renamed the peak on an executive order with no further discussion or foot-dragging. | |
| 6 | 2025-03-10 17:38 | Alan | Not relevant precedent for Gulf of Mexico, if that's what you're referring to. In the case of Denali it was already an established name that was widely used locally in English (unlike the new official name for Gulf of Mexico). Also these days we have more options for tags including `nat_na... | |

| 72417397 by TobyOrr @ 2019-07-19 07:40 | 1 | 2021-02-09 21:09 | Alan | Hello!A lot of the reservoirs you added in this changeset aren't filled with water on most of the satellite layers. Should they be tagged with `intermittent=yes`? |
| 2 | 2021-02-09 23:09 | TobyOrr ♦16 | Alan, Thanks for your message. I have visited the area by car but mostly could observe only from public roads and did not have access to private property. Thus my mapping mostly relied on the satellite imagery available at the time. Waterways, lakes and reservoirs in Australia can be variable in reg... | |

| 77975824 by MxxCon @ 2019-12-05 07:28 | 1 | 2020-07-24 18:31 | Alan | Hi there, thank you for creating a polygon for Coney Island, but I think we _also_ need to have it as a node for labeling purposes. See for example Bath Beach and Gravesend, which each have both. You can also combine the node and the boundary together in a relation, like most of the Manhattan neighb... |
| 2 | 2020-07-24 18:40 | MxxCon ♦3,358 | Can that be done with iD or would I need to do that in jsom?Also shouldn't the primary concern be the accuracy of mapped data and not visual representation of it since "labeling purposes" concern is addressable by updates to the visual representation of that data? | |
| 3 | 2020-07-25 02:59 | TheAdventurer64 ♦107 | Hello,You can do so on either iD and JOSM. TheAdventurer64 | |
| 4 | 2020-07-25 20:31 | MxxCon ♦3,358 | I'm sorry. I spent like good 40-45min trying to figure how to make a label relationship with iD similar to what i see with LES, but I was unable to replicate that. | |
| 82365635 by Fluffy89502 @ 2020-03-18 22:28 | 1 | 2020-07-24 00:25 | Alan | Hi there, I see you added a node for Koreatown, but there already existed a node at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/150968103 with a much longer history. Maybe you could reuse that node instead? Also I haven't looked at the other neighborhood relations you added in this changeset, but you mi... |
| 61457308 by Alan Trick @ 2018-08-08 07:33 | 1 | 2020-07-02 16:56 | Alan | Hi there, should this relation for "Sto:lo Nation" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8512693 be combined with "Stó:lō Tribal Council" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8514116? It seems like they share some of the same parcels, but there are a lot of parcels tha... |
| 2 | 2020-07-05 02:15 | Alan Trick ♦36 | No, though it would probably be good to add a note for future editors. The Sto:lo Nation & Tribal Council are two distinct administrative groups. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sto:lo_Nation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%B3:l%C5%8D_Tribal_Council | |
| 79122774 by Arctic gnome @ 2020-01-02 16:58 | 1 | 2020-07-02 16:54 | Alan | Should this relation for Sto:lo Nation be the same as "Stó:lō Tribal Council" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8514116? It looks like they share some parcels, but a lot of other parcels only exist in one or the other relation. Is this intentional? |
| 79122814 by Arctic gnome @ 2020-01-02 16:59 | 1 | 2020-07-02 16:52 | Alan | Hello Arctic Gnome, should this relation for Stó:lō Tribal Council be combined with the other partly-overlapping relation for "Sto:lo Nation" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8512693? |

| 63363399 by Natfoot @ 2018-10-10 00:46 | 1 | 2019-04-18 21:36 | Alan | Is "Belbay" some kind of railroad marker? It's not a locality name that I'm familiar with at all, as a long-time Bellingham resident. |
| 36394455 by Humberto_Yances @ 2016-01-06 01:08 | 1 | 2019-01-29 01:19 | Alan | Is this an official protected area? Or is it just the area where these people live? The Wikipedia page doesn't say it's protected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayuu_people |
| 2 | 2019-01-29 02:50 | Humberto_Yances ♦8 | Is just the area where they live, cool if you can apply a correction. | |
| 63491706 by Natfoot @ 2018-10-13 18:25 | 1 | 2018-12-20 19:11 | Alan | Is start_date=0000 appropriate for these waterways? If that means "unknown" shouldn't we just remove the tag? |

| 61247678 by Robert Copithorne @ 2018-08-01 04:06 | 1 | 2018-09-07 20:54 | Alan | Hello Robert, I see you've been mapping clearcuts as `landuse=farmland` + `crop=timber`, and then later as `landuse=industrial` + `industrial=forest`. As far as I know, neither of these are standard tagging practices. The use of `landuse=industrial` in particular causes undesireable effects ... |
| 2 | 2018-09-08 04:07 | Robert Copithorne ♦9 | Thanks for the comment, Alan. I'll be able to respond in more detail shortly. | |
| 3 | 2018-09-08 18:30 | Viajero Perdido ♦243 | Hi. landuse=forest seems appropriate for broad areas clearly used for tree farming. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3DforestI do a lot of woodland mapping in Alberta, and personally, can't be bothered to mark each clearcut separately. Within months, each clearcut has new ... | |
| 62223753 by Alan @ 2018-09-02 16:50 | 1 | 2018-09-02 16:52 | Alan | Sorry, wrote changeset message. This was just adding a single EV charging station, based on a survey. |

| 57068105 by GeorgeKru @ 2018-03-10 21:17 | 1 | 2018-03-10 22:31 | Alan | Hi George, welcome to OpenStreetMap.I can't tell what you were trying to accomplish, since you didn't leave a very informative changeset message. It looks like you created an untagged line, so I went ahead and deleted that for you. |
| 56911534 by AndyCU2501 @ 2018-03-05 18:18 | 1 | 2018-03-05 19:22 | Alan | Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding this detail. Looks like we are also missing the `amenity=bank` tag which would help this show up as a bank on the map. I'll add that. |
| 56906340 by Dani Ksero @ 2018-03-05 15:03 | 1 | 2018-03-05 16:28 | Alan | Hello Dani, welcome to OpenStreetMap!Thanks for adding that hotel node. I see that the hotel already exists as a building in OSM, but the building is missing the `amenity=hotel` tag, so that's probably why it didn't show up on MAPS.ME. I will combine your node with the existing buildin... |
| 56753552 by curran @ 2018-02-28 11:44 | 1 | 2018-02-28 19:31 | Alan | Looks good! When buildings physically abut each other, they can share nodes along that shared wall, if necessary. In this case, it looks like you mapped it correctly with a small gap between the buildings (as visible on satellite). But I suspect some of the buildings on the Fox lot will have walls t... |

As far as I can tell, "Ontario and 59th Park" is not an official park according to the City of Vancouver: http://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/parks-gardens-and-beaches.aspxAre you sure that this isn't just part of the... |

| 55508275 by spatial-dev-osm @ 2018-01-16 23:50 | 1 | 2018-01-17 00:14 | Alan | Hi there! Welcome to OSM. You've got it right by adding building=house to this polygon. But landuse=residential should be used for larger areas, not buildings. This house is already surrounded by a landuse=residential polygon, for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/545333507 |
| 2 | 2018-01-17 18:48 | spatial-dev-osm ♦1 | Thanks for the clarification! | |

| 55201128 by Falcod @ 2018-01-06 00:28 | 1 | 2018-01-06 00:37 | Alan | Hi there, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Looking at the satellite imagery, I don't see a park there. It looks like the park that you drew covers up several existing buildings. Is this a mistake? |
| 2 | 2018-01-06 00:40 | Alan | For now I'm just going to delete that park, and we can re-create it once we have some confirmation on the ground. | |
| 55170173 by dPalmore @ 2018-01-04 21:05 | 1 | 2018-01-04 23:09 | Alan | Cool. Are you placing these points based on your own survey, or are you importing the coordinates from NOAA? I just wonder, because those two benchmarks you placed don't quite align with the existing peaks in OSM. |
| 2 | 2018-01-04 23:52 | dPalmore ♦1 | The coordinates are from the National Geodetic Survey. You are correct that they are off from the physical location since the actual benchmark is right next to the trail. I also believe the Powell Butte node from a few months ago is incorrect. States the elevation at 191m but both the benchmark and ... | |

| 55155200 by courtesyinneugene @ 2018-01-04 11:44 | 1 | 2018-01-04 20:43 | Alan | Please do not delete this building? If you are a new mapper, please ask for help. But I assume you are connected to all of the other recent hotel edits that resulted in deleted buildings. |
| 55139436 by Element_hc @ 2018-01-03 20:45 | 1 | 2018-01-03 22:00 | Alan | Hello, welcome to OpenStreetMap!It looks like you accidentally created a new node while updating the old one, resulting in duplicate nodes. I'm going to delete the new node and make sure the old one contains all the relevant information. |
| 2 | 2018-01-03 22:33 | Element_hc ♦1 | Thanks, that was my very first addition. | |
| 55093942 by hotelstrata @ 2018-01-02 08:29 | 1 | 2018-01-02 08:39 | Alan | Hello there, please don't delete the existing building. If you are the same user who is editing a bunch of other hotels in the last few hours, please stop for a moment and ask for advice. |

| 2 | 2018-01-02 08:13 | Alan | user_5359, this is the first edit by a new user. Their changeset message is "update listing", and their username is "qualityinnblythe", so I don't think they were trying to delete the building on purpose.

| 49254972 by Dartmouthmapmaker @ 2017-06-05 02:13 | 1 | 2017-11-14 05:21 | Alan | Are we sure that Cole Harbour should be tagged as natural=bare_rock instead of natural=water, as it was before this changeset? bare_rock seems very wrong here. |

| 51822888 by a4a91120 @ 2017-09-07 19:35 | 1 | 2017-09-12 21:28 | Alan | Should this be tagged as access=private or access=no, instead of deleting it? |
| 2 | 2017-09-13 18:37 | Viajero Perdido ♦243 | Right, access=private.Also, "(Private Road)", is inappropriate as part of a name, eg that road nearby. That's what the access key is for. | |
| 3 | 2018-07-20 11:40 | a4a91120 ♦1 | The property owner is fed up with trespassers. How was this road mapped? Via trespassing. REMOVE IT AND KEEP OUT! | |

Why are they all adjacent to each other? Why do they have such strange names? Are these real features on the ground, or is this fake data? |

(I'm not sure what it looks like when you're editing in maps.me, possibly they hide that distinction.) I'll fix it. |
| 50018538 by Katherine Auge @ 2017-07-03 20:16 | 1 | 2017-07-03 23:01 | Alan | The "addr:housenumber" tag should only include the number part, and "addr:street" should include the full "Montana Street", not just "St". I fixed it for this building. |
| 50018364 by Katherine Auge @ 2017-07-03 20:09 | 1 | 2017-07-03 22:59 | Alan | Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap! In this case, you don't need to have a separate node for the address and all the building information. You could add those tags to the building itself, not to the node. (it looks like you did that correctly in most of your other edits). |

However, the nodes you created didn't have any tags on them. At minimum in this case they should have a 'name=', as well as a tag that explains what type of feature it is. In OSM howe... |

Unless _everyone_ calls this "My House", that's not the proper name.Also, I don't think this... |
| 49975190 by Jonjon623 @ 2017-07-02 00:26 | 1 | 2017-07-02 17:48 | Alan | Hi. If this is a guest house (like, a Bed & Breakfast) that is open to the public, then what is its name? Does it have a website or a phone number? If not, then it's probably just a house, not a guest house.I'm going to change it to a house until we have more information.Detail... |
| 49914736 by Gunz91 @ 2017-06-29 10:36 | 1 | 2017-06-29 19:38 | Alan | Hi, it looks like you removed the hospital attributes from this node. Is that what you intended? If so, you could just delete the node entirely. We don't really need that GNIS information in OpenStreetMap. |

You did that correctly, but you can also delete the disconnected address node. I did that in this edit: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/49873728Now, once the map has ti... |
| 49854992 by adyfranco @ 2017-06-27 08:05 | 1 | 2017-06-27 19:01 | Alan | Hello! Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap!In this edit you don't need to add all of those extra nodes to describe the park. The polygon for the park itself is sufficient. |
| 2 | 2017-06-27 19:08 | Alan | In particular, the entrances to an area should be tagged on nodes that are part of the outline of that area, not as floating disconnected nodes. I tried to update the map as best I could, but you might want to check that I got the entrances in the right location. https://www.openstreetmap.org/change... | |
| 3 | 2017-06-27 19:29 | adyfranco ♦1 | Thanks Alan! I didn't know the best way to mark all the entrances so I appreciate the update! They are adding more to the park soon, but that stuff will be play structures and what not, so I'll add in those once they are completed. Thanks again! | |

| 4 | 2017-06-25 05:59 | Glassman ♦5,216 | It looks like a new user, Monster Squad removed the tag boundary=administrative on April 18th. The changeset note wasn't descriptive enough to figure out what they were trying to accomplish. It looks good now. | |

| 49680688 by Gurjot Singh Bhatti @ 2017-06-20 00:58 | 1 | 2017-06-20 16:03 | Alan | I'm confused, you say "updating leaf type", but this doesn't seem to be a tree. It's an address node, and there is a confusing building tag, too. Can you clarify what you intended to map with this feature? |
| 49637019 by Peter Lo 2000 @ 2017-06-18 14:59 | 1 | 2017-06-18 19:38 | Alan | Can you add more information about this government office? What is its name? What type of office is it? |

To clarify that it's not public space, you could add access=private instead of deleting it.See: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=garden |
| 2 | 2017-06-06 00:35 | joshua1452 ♦1 | Well, it's also no longer a garden, but just a yard. | |

| 49031822 by mitch9290 @ 2017-05-27 19:28 | 1 | 2017-05-28 07:02 | Alan | Hi! Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap! In this case, however, you don't need to add a node for the park, because there is already a polygon that represents the whole park. A node in the middle of the park is redundant in case, so I deleted it. |

However, the W Hotel is already tagged on the building feature, so we don't need it as a node. Here's the building that we already have: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/232080299 |
| 48774419 by HillSong Automotive @ 2017-05-17 22:17 | 1 | 2017-05-18 01:15 | Alan | Hi, you probably need to add some tag like amenity=car_repair so it will show up on the map. |
| 48655279 by Alan @ 2017-05-13 17:35 | 1 | 2017-05-13 17:37 | Alan | I'm not sure if archaeological_site is appropriate, but that was the original tag, so I left it for now. |
| 46089666 by DunbarLoop @ 2017-02-14 20:40 | 1 | 2017-05-13 17:36 | Alan | Hi, it looks like you were trying to describe the Semiahmoo Indian Reservation? I added more tags to this feature, although you're right that we probably need to confirm the proper boundary. Possibly this will help us: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase/Canadian_Aboriginal_Lands |
| 48600630 by Willy G @ 2017-05-11 18:05 | 1 | 2017-05-11 21:03 | Alan | HI Willy, please only add parks that exist and can be verified. It looks like this was a park tag that you added to a node? I see someone has already correctly deleted it. |
| 2 | 2017-05-11 21:05 | Alan | I see you actually created several of these park tags on nodes. Maybe that was an error? Try not to add tags to nodes that are part of other features. In most cases, nodes that are part of other shapes (like lines or areas) shouldn't have any tags on them. | |
| 48600545 by Willy G @ 2017-05-11 18:02 | 1 | 2017-05-11 21:04 | Alan | I see you changed this from a footway to a cycleway? I've been on this trail before, and I can see that you might be right. Thanks for this edit to OSM. |

In OSM where we need to list multiple values for something (in this case the surface) we usually use a semi-colon. However, if possible it would be more useful to just pick the predominant surface type. If you had to ch... |
| 2 | 2017-05-10 21:36 | ksimp1326 ♦1 | It is a bit of a mix between grass and a bit of gravel over top, but really worked down from all the foot traffic. It makes it a bit hard to narrow down what it would be. I'd say gravel though as they do occasionally put a bit of new gravel on the path. | |
| 48547601 by Lora Elliott @ 2017-05-10 01:27 | 1 | 2017-05-10 19:07 | Alan | Looks good, thanks for joining OpenStreetMap! I slightly tweaked the format of the opening hours information. It doesn't need underscores after the days of the week. |

It's hard to tell from the satellite imagery, but if you've verified it on the ground, we'll trust you. Also, is the name of this street correct? You gave the name "Comust", but it connects to a road called "Comus". I as... |

If it's a wetland (which I guess from your changeset comment), it needs an additional tag to clarify that, so it will show up on the map. |

| 2 | 2017-03-17 21:54 | Glassman ♦5,216 | According to King County, the trail is part of the Villa Real HOA. The wooded area is undeveloped housing tracks. The actual area of park like is just the area around the two trails. Let me know if you need help adding in the landuse area. | |

| 38369185 by charlieloyd @ 2016-04-07 04:13 | 1 | 2016-04-08 21:48 | Alan | You're going to have to provide better changeset comments if you expect me to find the frogs, Charlie. |

| 11535153 by Rps333 @ 2012-05-08 01:40 | 1 | 2015-09-05 22:27 | Alan | It looks like you have a misspelling of "CFB Alert" as "CFB Akert". I also see the changeset comment says "altert". So I'm going to assume this is incorrect, and change the name. Let me know if I'm mistaken. |

| 26632859 by Kurez @ 2014-11-08 01:26 | 1 | 2014-11-08 02:04 | Alan | Hi Kurez! Thanks for tracing all those houses! After you've traced a shape, there is a tool in iD that helps you rectangularize the shapes. |
| 2 | 2014-11-08 02:22 | Alan | Although now I see that those are some really weird shaped houses. Not much we can do for some of them. |
