Changeset When Comment

Hi FLPREKO, avoid adding generic names to show what an object is. The name=* tag is used for recognised or official names. Change building=yes to building=school to denote that it's a school building.

I will remove those in this changeset, but take note for future edits.

Hi MagnusQuaye, you don't have to save/upload after mapping a single building. It's much better to map several buildings and upload them in one changeset.

Hi St_Boniface, welcome to OSM and thanks for the contributions so far.

A few things you need to know:
- to add a village/town, add a node at the centre of it and tag it with place=village + name=* instead of adding it to the land use polygon.
- don't add new roads where they are already mapped. Modify the existing ones instead
- use leisure=pitch + sport=soccer to add football parks. leisure=park is something different.
- don't ignore warnings that show up while saving/uploading your changes.

Hi World_Winner, a ton of valuable local knowledge was added in that changeset, and I don't think it's a good idea to simply revert it without retaining the info. The changes needed correction, not a revert.

Hi again, please pay attention and avoid entangling features with roads. That's not an ideal way to map.

Hi Kofi Appiah, this one is done right except for the name. Use Title Case for place names instead of BLOCK LETTERS. I have corrected this one, but take note for future additions.

Hi Kofi Appiah, welcome to OSM.

You are doing well in trying to add local knowledge, but you are not doing it right. You need to add the appropriate tags to each feature (osm.wiki/Map_features) you map.

See why tags are necessary here: https://learnosm.org/en/hot-tips/tagging/

Best,
Sam

Hello Natex_ason, welcome to OSM.

Does the print shop occupy the entire building? If not, it's better to add the shop separately as a node (point).

You need to add a physical tag of what it represents. One of shop=printing or shop=copyshop.

The name should also be in Title Case (Als Print/ ALS Print) instead of ALL UPPER CASE. And unless Comm 17 is officially part of the name, you don't need to add the location in the name tag.

Best,
Sam

Hi confidence_19, why have you added a path to an already-mapped road?

Hi Mwinfang, welcome to OSM. The addr:street tag is meant for the name of the street the building is on. Using coordinates as its value is incorrect, so it's best to remove it.

You're welcome. I think everything is alright now.

For the village name, I wanted you to add a new place=village node with the name, if you know it. Just like Ankaase, Dabaa, and Mpobi nearby. I think it's a separate village from Ankaase.

But what you did was also alright. My comment could be interpreted in this way.

Thanks for working on it so quickly.

The addr:*=* tags are for the physical location of the school. The post address should be entered in the contact:pobox=* field in full, e.g., P.O. Box AV 437 Asuoyeboah, Kumasi.

The name of the village in which the school is located is missing. If you know that you could add it too.

Hi TjeerdSchoonheim, welcome to OSM. If this is a school, you need to add the amenity=school tag.

I am not sure if you added the school to the correct location, as the address details you've provided do not match the location. It's advisable to use Title Case values instead of ALL UPPER CASE.

Hi LakeTumba, could you please pay attention to buildings when mapping? The road (way/882485935) that you added intersects way/881384322

Which facility has been relocated? Is it the bank or the lounge? If the lounge has relocated to the bank's premises, where is the bank now located?

Hi IDGU, welcome to OSM. Note that streets do not need address tags (addr:city, addr:street, addr:*). Adding just the name, if known, is enough.

Hello Tracy08, you have edited the building to cover the entire compound, but that is incorrect. The previous version was alright.

Hi Lygence, you deleted 2 bus stops here. Please avoid deleting objects with which you may lack an understanding.

Hi Lygence, welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing to the map in Ghana. Note that in OSM we don't abbreviate names (osm.wiki/Abbreviations). So avoid editing existing names to abbreviations or adding new ones like so.
