Please look at note, note:en, and not:network:wikidata for those train relations you changed.

Also look at the wrong tag you reapplied to a pastry shop:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1143431133

(Not a bakery.)

You are blindly applying ID suggestions. Why?

In this change you've added bus stops to a non-existing network 'Arriva'. Just as for your other change, please check the suggestions of the iD editor. Those are suggestions, not errors.

If you add memorials, please don't enter the names and inscriptions in ALL-CAPS as you did with the stolpersteine here. Capitalise the text following normal spelling conventions.

Hello.
You should not have renamed 5889475671. "Banana Republic Factory" is a different store from "Banana Republic".

Hi Bkissin,

Thank you for our contribution to open streetmap. I noticed this changeset for 2 reasons. First it seems like you use multiple values for landuse. I don't know that this is a common convention as the renderers don't know how to show this area. It also flags an osmose QA r...

you can also see how your edit removed some of the wetlands previously drawn such as

https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1111192735

so overall this changeset degrades the information that was previously on OSM. I would recommend reverting this changeset.
32023-03-22 15:28Bkissin Hi @scarapella! Sorry about the issue. It was an attempt to create the natural wood feature around the existing wetland features, but obviously it didn't come out the right way. Happy to take care of that. It's been a while since I've had to revert a changeset. How do I do it again?

Hello Bkissin,

No worries. An BTW if it's easier for you to just repair, no problem at all. I just proposed a revert as it's what I would have done, but then you do lose the work you put into defining the wooded area.

The (only) way I know how to revert (which is inevitably because...

The forest at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/769417437 is very accurate, but shouldn't it be a multipolygon (not overlaying the water)?

Hi again Bkissin,

I'd love it if you could stop doing the following style of mapping: https://imgur.com/a/oaR0j1m since it gets tagged by validators like OSM Inspector and I end up going in and cleaning it up. If you can't use multipolygons, at least don't use the same nodes going ...
22018-11-27 19:50Bkissin Thanks @b-jazz! I appreciate your patience with my issues here. Is there a particular "manual of style" regarding houses near the woods like this situation? Should I just make a clean polygon and add the buildings later? I'll have to try to do more work around multipolygons to try and...

♦715
I'm pretty sure that the correct, manual of style way is to use an inner polygon for the non wood types of the outer polygon. If that is too difficult with the given tools, I'd venture to guess that making the whole area a forest and then adding some buildings inside the forest would be ac...
42018-11-28 15:47Bkissin I have very little experience around multipolygons. Mostly it has been merging several forest/wood polygons together to make a larger multipolygon, or trying to make riverbank features. These have had largely successful results, but sometimes leads to situations like Relation:8794638. I don't ...

It's actually easier than I thought it would be. Try this:
1) draw an area around a forest
2) draw an area around some residential property inside that forest
3) hold down shift and select the outer area. you should now have two areas selected.
4) press "C" to combine the two.
