As you can see on that page, the link to path=crossing is broken (it just redirects back to footway=crossing). If you really want this tag to be used by other editors, then I suggest documenting it.

Another issue is that there is no sidewalk counterpart to path=crossing. That is, path=sidewalk is considered a tagging mistake on the OSM wiki.

So as long as this is the case, I will assume that international data consumers are expecting footway=sidewalk or footway=crossing tags even on highway=path, and I will tag accordingly.

The tag path=crossing does not appear to be documented at the OSM wiki. However, footway=crossing is a long-established tag and is what data consumers use.

What is the source for the POIs and their names that you have been adding in Turda recently?

107818761

What is the source for this large number of churches you have been adding?

Also, please do not add the word "Restaurant" to the name= tag. It is not necessary. Instead of "Restaurant Casa Domnești", write just "Casa Domnești"

What is the source for these amenity=grit_bin nodes on Ostrobramska? I can’t see anything on the ground. Are the bins only brought there in the winter months?

I entered a mistaken value for this changeset. Instead of “Personal survey”, it should have been “Mapillary”. Sorry.

Please do not add camp sites to the map unless they are official camp sites. Places that are merely "nice place for camp" do not belong on OpenStreetMap. (You can add them on other maps, like iOverlander.)

No, even if the generic is written on the front of the store, it is rarely the name. You have to look more closely or ask the proprietor for the actual name.

107278174

When you add, for example, a shop=convenience, please do not add a generic name= tag like "Mini market". If you do not know the real name of the shop, then leave the name= tag blank.

You have added hundreds of POIs in Shkodër, which is great. Things are very well-mapped in this city. However, there is a problem with the name= tags: you did not add the actual name of the POI but the generic description. For example, "Fruta Perime" is not the official name of any of these greengrocers in Shkodër, it is simply the generic for that shop that is already expressed by shop=greengrocer. Similarly, today I found that a shop=butcher you added as "Produkte mishi" should have really been tagged with name=Gëzimi.

If you don't know the actual name of a POI, it is important to leave the name= tag blank. Then, tools like StreetComplete can prompt mappers to determine the real name and add it.

Over the days and weeks I will be removing the generic name= tags from POIs in Shkodër. In other cases, I will be shortening them – for example name=Mini Market "Kristi" should be simply name=Kristi. Since there are many hundreds of nodes to deal with, your help in this would be very appreciated.

Visoki Deçan Monastery was already tagged (as the entire area). Please check first before you add a site.

What is your source for this apartments you added in Pejä. Are these actually holiday apartments that tourists can rent?

Thanks for the response. Be careful, as many of these POIs no longer exist. With regard to this example, the road no longer looks like the 2016 Google Street View capture. There have been roadworks to widen the road, and I am not sure the water source still exists there. I did not notice water there, and I am traveling by bicycle and looking for drinking_water nodes to map.

Another issue is that many of the amenity=drinking_water nodes in Montenegro are on private land, so they are not accessible to someone traveling by (cyclists and trekkers are the major consumers of OSM data on drinking water). These water sources should either not be mapped at all (probably best), or set as access=private.

What is the source of these natural=spring nodes that you have added all over Montenegro. For example, 43.2094618, 19.4707112.

Today I traveled by some of these, and I was unable to verify the existence of these natural=spring or amenity=drinking_water nodes that you have added.

I was worried this would happen -- the sun was bright and I could not see my phone screen well. Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to use JOSM for the next couple of days. Could you please revert this changeset completely? I will make the necessary changes again in a future changeset.

Be careful when adding buildings from geoportal.gov.pl. Check first to see if a building was added to OSM earlier, but then deleted because it was demolished. In Brzeg you erroneously restored to the map a building in Plac Dworcowy that no longer exists -- it was demolished last year to build the new Plac Dworcowy park.

highway:path is often regarded as a more modern tagging for combined footways/cycleways and it is now the preset in Vespucci and JOSM. I am concerned that your reversion to highway=cycleway could affect pedestrian routing.

98070429

Alongside Tervola's roads are combined footways/cycleways and they were tagged accordingly. Why have you changed them instead to just cycleways?

98251534

Was he given a list from the municipality and told that he could use it for OSM, or did he simply copy on his own from the municipality’s new playground map that has been in the news recently?

What is the source used for your updates to Cluj playgrounds?
