Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please do not cluster buildings.
Each building needs to be mapped individually
Please map them accordingly.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Very accurate mapped.
Just a remark. When you see constructions with visible walls, but no roof, you can map these as building=construction + construction=building.
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please do not cluster buildings. Map each building as a separate building.
Best regards.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please tag buildings just as building=yes when you map for HOTOSM. Details will be added by local mappers with local knowledge,
Just map the buildings themselves instead of a complete plot, including the yard.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
I have my doubts that the objects you've mapped are huts. I cannot find any proof on other imageries such as Bing, Mapbox and G earth.
I cannot find any proof of human activities like paths and trodden ground.
I removed these mappings.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
You mapped an already mapped residential area for the 2nd time.
It was already mapped back in 2022 as a part of a city. You should have seen it.
Anyhow, i removed your mappings. (3 areas)
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
A question. What did you decide which objects are buildings? I can't find any proof on the imageries (Bing, Mapbox, Esri) and G earth.
I also looked for human activities like paths leading to huts or other ways.
The presence of compacted soil around an object also indicates a building (hut). If this is not present, I would not map it as a building.
btw, this is a very difficult project to identify buildings. The Imagery don't help either.
Best regards
ps. I noticed this on other tasks you mapped as will.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please follow the tagging mentioned in this wiki

osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

To measure the width of a road in ID editor

First draw a line between the shoulders of a track .
Then You can press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[M] to turn on the measurement panel and read the result.
In JOSM you can draw a round building between the shoulders of a trace and read the distance on the lower line.
Tracks don't connect settlement and are no through-going roads.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
You mapped a through-going road as a track. Check the route of a trace before you decide how to tag it.
This should be tagged as an unclassified highway. I changed it.
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
A remark. The track mapped with the tag "path" is by default unpaved. No need to add that tag additionally.
Best regards

179143804

Hello again
Please connect paths to each other when they are supposed to be connected. You often stop within a meter of a path close to another one. Be more accurate, please.
When you map a path, you regulary makes a sharp turn to return through another route. The system recognise this as a "sharp turn" and needs attention.
Instead of that, when a path continues in the same direction as your first mapping, proceed with that road and add another one later on.

When several traces, close to eachother, go to a settlement or other road, try to limit the mappings to just a few ones.
There is no need to map every single trace. Settlements or dwellings, within view from an ajacent path don't need to be mapped. (Just the through going path_

We welcome you as a new mapper.
Thanks for your contribution to this project.
your changesets are reviewed by a Global Validator to check that the tasks have been mapped in accordance with the quality standards of HOTOSM.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Why did you consequently map and tag highways as unclassified highways, despite they are often that narrow that you only can call them a path?
You do this on many tasks.
Please follow the tagging mentioned in this wiki

osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa
Mostly, the tracks are not more than a path.

I forgot to mention that you first need to draw a line over the shoulders of the track of which you want to measure the width.

Hi. Another remark.
There’s no need to map every short section of trail that branches off from another trail and leads to a few huts, especially if those huts are visible from the other trail.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
When you want to add a "ford" to a water/highway crossing, don't add it to the waterway itself, but add a node to the crossing and tag that as 'ford"
Best regards.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please solve the issues / warnings shown by the issue triangle before you upload your mappings.
About the tagging of highways, traces as narrow as <2 mtr are not an unclassified highway. Use the tag: path.

To measure width in the iD editor, you can use the measurement panel by pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[M] to turn it on, which allows you to see measurements as you draw. This feature helps you get a rough idea of the width of the features you are mapping.

Hi. Forgot to mention.
You also often connect nodes of a building to a path close to it. These are also issues that need to be corrected.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping on this project.
You tagged often paths in tasks as highway=unclassified.
Check this wiki where you can use this tag.
osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa
A major requirement is the width of a road.
Here, just a few throughgoing roads fulfill the classification of highway-unclassified. Most are just paths. Connecting buildings and buildings to roads.
I change most of them
You also often forgot to connect crossing highways to eachother.
Please pay more attention to that issue.
Best regards, and keep mapping
