| 181764232 | I'm curious as to why you reversed the one-way restriction of this service road?

|
| 182652348 | Hi Aline, I'm curious as to why you tagged those motorway links as motorways. Those are clearly motorway links/freeway ramps. Also, I see that you removed the destination=* and destination:ref=* tags from those motorway links and added the highway/freeway name to them. I'm curious about the purpose of those map edits you made.

| 162200907 | Hi Mitch, I went ahead and swapped the ID of the redrawn roads/service roads/parking aisles you mapped, with the original roads you deleted in this changeset (where you remapped roads in place of the original roads you deleted), using OSM HistoryRestorer.
OSM History Restorer is an online tool that allows you to restore OSM features that have been deleted and redrawn. It swaps the ID of the redrawn feature with the original, but keeps the geometry of the new feature.
In the future, per what I mentioned to you in the above comments, *please make sure to modify the geometry of existing map objects or reuse them, instead of deleting them and remapping them anew*. This helps preserve their editing history on OSM. See this OSM Wiki article for more information: osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

| 159902435 | Please never delete existing map objects. Doing so is against OSM's Terms of Use. I see here that you deleted a valid residential road (way/1133008424/history), when you could've just extended the road instead.

|
| 181104566 | You should reuse every existing map object, even if it's out of alignment or its geometry doesn't match that in aerial imagery, instead of deleting them and remapping them anew. Just modify the geometry of existing map objects to help preserve their editing history. For more information, see this OSM Wiki article: osm.wiki/Keep_the_history |

| 182199803 | What is the source for the removal of the gate nodes in this changeset?

| 181104566 | Please make sure to modify the geometry of existing OSM elements instead of deleting them and redrawing them anew. It helps preserve their editing history on OSM.
You deleted a natural=water way and remapped it as a multipolygon relation in this changeset, when you could've copied and removed the tags on the existing natural=water way that you deleted and created a new natural=water multipolygon relation, pasted the deleted way's tags to the multiplygon relation, and added the way to it.

| 181018326 | Please modify the geometry of the existing buildings instead of deleting them and remapping them anew. It helps preserve their editing history on OSM.
|
|
| 181018115 | I see that you deleted some buildings and remapped them anew in this changeset. Please just modify the geometry of existing buildings on OSM instead of deleting them and remapping them anew. It follows good practice on OSM and helps preserve the element's editing history.
|
|
| 181017425 | Please modify the geometry of existing roads on OSM instead of deleting them and redrawing them anew, in accordance with good practice on OSM.
|
|
| 181017143 | Hello BeaconOSM, I see that you deleted some roads and remapped them anew in this changeset. It's good practice to modify the geometry of existing roads rather than delete them and remap them anew. It helps preserve their editing history on OSM.

| 181013282 | Please make sure to modify the geometry of the existing map elements instead of deleting them and redrawing them anew. It helps preserve their editing history on OSM.

|
| 181011898 | Please note that it is good practice to just modify the geometry of existing roads instead of deleting them and redrawing them anew. It helps preserve their editing history on OSM. See the OSM Wiki article on "Keep the history": osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

| 180728637 | Roads need to be connected to each other. Otherwise, people can't access them. The service roads you mapped (way/1495143714 and openstreetmap.org/way/1495143715) are very close to each other but not connected to each other. Also, it's good practice to modify the geometry of existing map elements instead of deleting them and remapping them anew. This helps preserve their editing history on OSM. You deleted an existing service road in this changeset (way/19836998/history) and remapped it anew. So it's good practice to modify the geometry of existing roads instead of deleting them and remapping them anew.

| 180528078 | I would consider that this changeset be reverted as it adjusted roads and streams to distorted Bing aerial imagery of this location, which is not aligned with GPS traces. VBMP aerial imagery of this location is not distorted and well aligned with GPS traces, as it's orthoimagery.
|
|
| 180552567 | Also see this link for frequent mistakes on aligning aerial imagery: osm.wiki/Using_aerial_imagery#Frequent_mistakes
|
|
| 180552567 | Again, please make sure to check the OpenStreetMap GPS traces before adding or moving OSM elements. The boundaries of the land use you mapped next to the Wilson Creek Bridge (the high bridge carrying the VTTI Smart Road) don't align with the GPS traces of this location. Aerial imagery may be distorted, causing the buildings, structures, or objects in imagery to appear to skew to the side. Bing imagery of the location underneath the Wilson Creek Bridge is distorted and not in line with the GPS traces, while VBMP orthoimagery of this location is not distorted and aligned with the GPS traces. So it's important to check the GPS traces before adding or moving OSM data.
See my comments in changeset #180528078: changeset/180528078

| 180529671 | As mentioned previously, make sure to check the GPS traces before adding or modifying OSM objects, so that you will have an understanding of their actual alignment or location on the ground. The boundary of the farmland multipolygon you created in this changeset (relation/20383306) doesn't actually align with the GPS traces of this location.
|
|
| 180528078 | If you check the OpenStreetMap GPS traces of this location, you will find that the alignment of roads and Wilson Creek in Bing imagery of this location is not aligned with the GPS traces. But if you look at VBMP aerial imagery of this location, you will see that the alignment of roads and Wilson Creek at this location is aligned with the GPS traces, reflecting their actual alignment on the ground. So, before adding or moving OSM objects, make sure to check the GPS traces so that you will know their actual alignment or where they actually are on the ground. Aerial imagery may be distorted, which is common in mountainous or hilly areas. Orthoimagery is usually not distorted.
