PS. I did already had platforms roughly mapped as lines (not as accurate as your data though), it's better practice to reuse those existing ways when improving them rather than deleting them and starting afresh. I know it's not always possible though, but if possible it's better.

Same comment re https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:footway%3Dsidewalk

PS. this is probably considered mapping for the router as the pedestrian area is already mapped out, however since many routers have trouble routing over areas I can see how it's useful to also map it out as a way.
22018-09-20 23:02Maradona11 looking at this again, I also think these two pedestrian areas should not be joined together as they are on two different levels and not possible to walk between. thoughts?

I'm not 100% sure but it *might* make sense to use barrier=retaining_wall https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Abarrier%3Dretaining_wall on a shared way between the adjoining pedestrian areas, or perhaps using a different level or layer tag is enough to know they are on different levels.

I quite like the term being used in the comments and see as appropriate to his username as long as it also has a brief description of the changeset changes.
32018-09-03 03:52Maradona11 Yes I should be more clearer in describing what I have changed and the source that Im using. I will try to improve on this in with my future edits.
My apologies.

I removed the node you added for Redfern inhttps://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58719569 and place it on a new area way around the whole station. It's good practice to only have one railway=station for Redfern as there is only one station here. See the wiki for railway=station for further de...

why was railway=station removed? I don't see any other railway=station for Central that existed at the time. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/xW0

Someone since created https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5124591624 but I'm tempted to delete that and put it on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way...

Hey mate,

I think it's better to not snap things like parks, parking etc to the road, and instead try to mark out the exact extent which doesn't normally extend out until the road center line.

If for cartographic reasons that effect is desired it's better to do that as a post pr...
22017-10-06 00:40Maradona11 hi mate,

yeah I attend to agree with that we should be marking out exact extent of a feature in most cases. However, I find better to snap non-routeable objects (exlude buildings) to the road centre line as it is much more visual appealing when looking at map tiles generated from osm data from m...

Hi Maradona11,

The information that you added as node in this changeset (Macdonaltown) seems to be already mapped (checkout the building nearby). Ideally we should avoid adding redundant information to OSM. It'll be great if you can resolve this by adding the missing information to that buil...

I don't believe leisure=park is appropriate for http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/415194166. I think it should simply be landuse=residential.

Splitting the changes in Australia and the one change in Iceland into two changesets would have made those changesets quite small, compared to this one.

It would be better to group the changes by region and not to put everything into one huge changeset. See how the changeset now unnecessarily includes nearly all Africa, Europe and Asia.
22016-11-03 21:05Maradona11 Correct. I will take that on board.
Thanks:)
