| 143241156 | Hi @edwarderos! We appreciate your effort in contributing edits to OSM, which are published publicly. However, the notations you made to the feature are also public, and is not relevant for other users. We hope that you'll continue your participation, but try to keep your private noteabto yourself. |

| 137773088 | Good job! Thank you for helping make a better map. 🥳 |
|
| 141447805 | Thank you for your edit, and helping improve the local map. 🥳 When adding names, you can avoid redundant entries by using other namespaces like short_name, alt_name, etc, to capture additional details. You can read more about that from the wiki: osm.wiki/Names By the way, can you confirm that this road is really a one way road? It looks odd since there's no direct route to the main road, with that one way restriction. |

| 141008029 | For your convenience you can view the history here, too: https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/162052559 The last geometry edit was made 8 days ago (not a rename, as I posted earlier), and the prior name change was made in 2019. |

| 141008029 | Hi there. Thank you raising this topic. Yes, the easist way to determine the history of OpenStreetMap (OSM) elements is the Query Feature button (it's the last button on the right panel of the screen, featuring an arrow pointing to the left, with a question mark. In this case, the land feature was named 8 days ago. OSM never claims to be authoritative, or official. Ergo, caveat emptor. With or without OSM, it's not hard to create fantasy maps. |

| 139014308 | Hello @Zunco☺️ . Welcome to OpenStreetMap. You appear to trying to map something else, but you're tagging them as "camp sites." Could you elaborate what you're trying to do? If you're keen to learn more, or get in touch with the local OpenStreetMap community, check out osm.org/wiki/PH |
|
| 137464330 | Wow! Thank you for completing the street names in this area. |
|
| 137397598 | Let's agree to calling it "unnecessary", for the routers then. Maybe, just map the signage then?
|
|
| 137397537 | Right. I suppose that's a better term. You can map the signage separately then.
|
|
| 131531712 | Thanks for updating the POIs, @Legitamer. Great to see a fellow Osmand user helping improve OSM! It's better to tag sari-sari stores as `shop=convenience`, rather than `shop=yes`. |
|
| 136081606 | Example tags appropriate tag for short-term construction work: construction=minor + motor_vehicle:conditional=no @ (2018 May 1-2022 May 31) |
|
| 136081606 |
highway=construction should only be used when a road is **impassable** due to construction activity. If partial access is possible (e.g. one lane remains passable), highway=*, and access=* tags remain as-is. A note is definitely going to be useful for reference. |
|
| 135433255 | Hello @Izzhar Balbon. I'm curious about some of the elements you added in this changeset that doesn't show up in several imagery providers. Can you please elaborate what your source is? |
|
| 137089625 | I'm not actually asking about the PSGC codes or the is_in key (you appear to be using them as expected), and the local community has discussed this before, and treat those as "facts". However, it seems you're saying that you're tracing boundaries from the PSA geodata ? May I know if you got PSA's permission before doing so? If so, can you share with us the permission letter you got from them? By any chance, have you encountered this FAQ before: osm.org/wiki/Philippines/FAQs_for_PH_data#Frequently_Asked_Questions_about_data_sources_for_OpenStreetMap_contributors_in_the_Philippines |
|
| 137089625 | Are you saying you're tracing the administrative boundaries you're modifying from data of the Philippines Statistics Authority? |
|
| 134243007 | Hi @EngrBlessing199x
|
|
| 137089625 | Hi @relaemanila! I noticed that you're adding administrative boundaries. Can you elaborate your source(s) for these? |
|
| 137200060 | Thank you for adding the details for the school! Are you from this neighbourhood ? |
|
| 134264991 | Hi @junetsu! Thank you for your contributing to OSM. I observed in your edits that you've been connecting landuse boundaries to highways in the subdivisions you've edited. This isn't actually a recommended practice since it can cause more issues down the line. Please check out the wiki for this particular concern: osm.wiki/Land_use#Mapping_land_use_in_more_detail By the way, if you're keen to stay in touch with fellow local mappers, check out the local community channels available in your preferred platform in the Philippines: osm.org/wiki/PH |
