Just so you know, natural=yes does not create a swamp.

Ciao! Just so you're aware, you want to keep the name of a village/town/settlement on the node. Don't apply it to the residential area, which often will not render from some data users. I fixed Islow Abuukar accordingly - let me know if you have questions. Grazie!

Delving back into this - I've always understood that bare earth with no particular set of characteristics has no landuse value at all. But bare_ground would work too. This area actually looks like a dry akali flat - a former lakebed. There were some proposed tags to deal with desert areas, but they appear to be abandoned.
Lastly - it looks like the area has recently been marked as a military installation? That has to be a mistake - right?

That's GOT to be "Glacier Park", right?
Not with a "C".

Hi Marco - Just so you know, natural=ground is not a valid landuse value.

I appreciate your reply - in all the vandalism cases I've seen, you're the first to apologise. If you want to map for real, let us know! We can help!
Ďakuje!

It appears you are actually vandalizing the map - adding features that don't exist, using nonsensical tags ("bendo_field=hahaha", for instance) - all with the name "Bendo". Your changes in your native Slovakia are due for removal. I am removing your change in Bellevue immediately.
Please respond to this thread if you truly have a valid case for this change. Thanks.

Hi there - actually, if the rail right-of-way is unidentifiable and completely wiped off the map (for instance, where Safeco Field currently sits) it should actually remain as "razed". An "abandoned" stretch of track would indicate that you can easily trace the right-of-way on the ground or from the air.

Welcome to OSM! Let me know if you have questions or problems - I'll gladly lend a hand!
I'm local - live in Duvall, formerly lived in Redmond. Great to see more local mappers!

Where is this landuse data coming from, and how old is it? It doesn't look very current - showing built-up parts of Butembo as "grassland".

Thank you for spotting that!

Also - as this is not a reciprocal boundary, it is not administrative, but rather political.
I'm sure it looks way rad to see CHAZ outlined as a separate country, that's not grounded in reality.
I'll be reverting the changes to the outer perimeter.

You don't set tags for the boundary - tags are edited within the relation.

Yes yes I know we don't map "temporary" features and POIs. However, I firmly feel that this situation meets the "next few weeks" standard in the Good Practice article. I don't see this being resolved anytime soon.

Oh wow... that's too bad about Telido Station. I thought it was pretty cool that they were keeping a historic name going.

That's not a very good ratio on the Spokane Co named places. Let me know if you want a hand with any of the railroad-related ones, since that's where a lot of my Spokane Co history knowledge lies.

Also - do you find that the "disused:name" tag is widely accepted as a way of labeling placenames that are no longer in use?

Apologies for the snark. After thinking about it, I'm sure I would have come to the same conclusion as you did, and assumed I was trying to map a survey marker as a place.

Didn't get that from a topo, and yes it at least used to be an inhabited place.
As I recall, someone had deleted the old "Tolido" placename so I recreated it and merged it with a Salish placename that was right next to the survey marker. Yeah I shouldn't have merged them.
Tolido was a railroad station on the Spokane-Cd'A interurban: it was the transfer station (until around 1930) for those wanting to take the train to Liberty Lake, and it was still used as a placename (between Greenacres and Lib Lake) on plat maps at least into the 70's.

It was often misspelled "Telido" - and in fact there's a corresponding commercial+residential development called "Telido Station".

No... the Salish placename shouldn't have been an isolated dwelling, but at least I knocked it down from hamlet.

In case you didn't notice, this change was from almost 3 years ago, in my first year of mapping for OSM.
I wonder what kind of crap map changes I would find if I looked at YOUR changesets from your first year of mapping? >:)

So please let me know if you see anything else I may have screwed up.

Thx for catching that - I fixed it. My notes from last summer are absolute crap. :(

I'll be honest - I meant to change it to unpaved. When I went there last Summer almost all of it was graveled, with an ungraveled bit in the middle.
