It seems clear I am not the only one who views it as cruft.

I did not, and I forgot iD defaults to clockwise.

These streets have no sidewalks, why did you add them?

And if you wash your car every day it looks clean, but it's a pain to do it!

What you are describing is a form of tagging for the renderer. We are not in the business of making a pretty map. We are assembling geographic data that can be used by anyone, for free, to make a map that suits their needs. By connecting landuse to roads, you are contributing incorrect data (because you are suggesting that roadbed is actually commercial/park/retail) and making it very difficult to edit.

What looks clean is subjective. What's easiest to map, less so. Do not continue mapping in this way.

You've got a Phoenix address in Georgia there way/583381189

"blue_turf" is not a distinct surface value. The color is already reflected in the colour tag.
The common name of the field that should be displayed on OpenStreetMap is Lyle Smith Field. Unless you have some sort of documentation proving otherwise, do not "correct" the name again. You will be referred to the Data Working Group.

Awesome work adding/updating all these tracks! I get really frustrated trying to fix TIGER geometry.

way/1229199662: Prophecy?

Looks like you tagged the entirety of way/458911987 as covered.

It looks like the URLs have the store number in them. Possible to extract refs?

Please submit changes before moving to a new area, especially across the country.

Then when asked to explain your edits, you should do so without fail. What did you do in this changeset? ("Look at it" is not a sufficient explanation.)

It is not. The stadium is already named properly. You are tagging the field, not the stadium.

The scrub area shouldn't overlap the river area, as much of a pain as it is to separate the two.

That is the name of the stadium, not the field. Reverted.

Don't do this! This is tagging for the renderer and not allowed on OSM.

It's not. Someone used the wrong tag.

Any legit reason not to?

The names are back.

The wiki is vague because there hasn't been a proposal to standardize fire station tagging. With that said, you tagged the building and grounds just how I'd do it.
