Hi, what is the name of these hostels? The name=* field is reserved for the name of the features not description.

Please update the names, not just "Hostel", it's like saying the name of a school is "School", etc.

I also see two nodes very close to each other, you might want to edit with a background imagery, then position the nodes where they should be. You can also add these background images in Every Door app when in the field.

Hi, thanks for mapping. Trying to map every single tiny path is cool but it becomes obsolete very quickly since it is highly possible that the imagery being used is some years old. Most of these path these will have to be deleted, kindly note.

Hi, I am sure you think you were helping but just accepting random suggestions from some horribly trained/generated data is completely useless and only demotivates a lot of local mappers. Please DO NOT make these kind of changes in Ghana, there is just too much bad and useless contributions from many remote contributors thinking they are helping.

I will review your changes revert, modify and delete.

Hi ADDOMAN, is this a publicly visible name/feature or private residence? What exactly are you trying to map?

Hi ColumbiaPlateau, kindly avoid adding barrier=block on roads under construction in Ghana, most roads under construction are still opened to traffic, any barrier is temporal, these barriers will stay in OpenStreetMap forever if you will personally not revisit them. Thank you.

Hi NACHINDI _ ABDUL _RAUF, zoom in to see existing features to avoid adding duplicates like this one. Also use Title case for names and avoid UPPERCASE.

Hi Wematu,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping. Do not delete valid existing features and re-map them as a different feature type. eg. deleting filling station nodes and add them as areas.

Do not use UPPERCASE and abbreviations for names, use title cases and full form instead. e.g. "ADDA PRIMARY SCH." should be "Adda Primary School."

The name of features should be as they are seen on the ground. e.g. Use "Goil" instead of descriptive names "Goil Fuel" or "Total Filling Station"

If you are not sure about what a tag means do not fill in any random values.

Clicking the "i" adjacent the tag fields in iD editor reveals much information about what they are you can also click the link to the OpenStreetMap wiki for more details.

Here is a long list of tags osm.wiki/Map_features

I will clean up and also undo some of your changes from this changeset.

Happy mapping.

Hi, this kind of contributions do not make OpenStreetMap any better. Stop it!

Hi, right click on the building and select Square or Press "Q". Do not fill in or add fields when you don't know what they mean. Click the "i" adjacent the form fields for more information if needed.

You can also map a few more buildings before uploading / saving them to OpenStreetMap.

Hi Ahmed_12, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Roads should be connected to other roads. Adding floating unconnected ways is not helpful, also see meaning of various values for the highway tag at highway=*?uselang=en#Roads

Hi, want are you trying to man here? The name field for features is not your name.

Hi OKOKYENA AMOS MAP, what are you trying map? Is this a dormitory / hostel?

Hi KingVik, do not add useless and non-related tags to features if you are not sure of what you are doing.

Hi KingVik, Do not just add tags to features without knowing what you are doing. I have reverted this change to V1 of the node.

Hi FACUOS, do not delete tags from valid existing features if you are not sure of what you are doing.

Hi KingVik, are you just clicking some buttons without checking what you are adding to OpenStreetMap? How is this node a school?

Hi ADDOMAN, I see you have added multiple nodes without any physical tags (i.e. is this a tree, street light, etc on the ground) and names ( e.g. ABC Residence, etc), these looks like private information, can you clarify.

The buildings footprints are better mapped as polygons/areas.

Hi ADDOMAN and welcome to OpenStreetMap,
Kindly use title case for names instead of ALL CAPS, The Church of Pentecost instead of THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST

Hi Nicholas Boat,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, your changeset comment indicates "trial", there seems to be no structures here, if you are just testing, kindly delete these features ASAP as OpenStreetMap is NOT for test objects but real features that exists on the ground.

Also for naming features, use title case instead of ALL CAPS, i.e. Bank of Ghana instead of BANK OF GHANA.

Best,

Hi,

these are definitely not a supermarkets and I also find it difficult to believe these shops, from the names I can tell they are either some shop=convenience or shop=kiosk

How are you coming up with these shops having the ability to accept crypto as payments? Kindly clarify.

If you are trying to add these places to OpenStreetMap, you can easily do it via applications such as:

- https://www.comaps.app/
- https://every-door.app/

Best,
@Enock4seth
