Thank you for your edit! Please add a more specific changeset comment; this helps mappers in the future to see what you did.'

Happy Mapping!

please be more specific in your changeset comments, basically every non-vandalism edit is adding missing data

Hey,
Thank you! That is helpful :)

Happy to see another mapper working in this area.

In the case of rail, they sometimes have specific hex code colors attached to them, so you were correct. I think i am correct for many cases where there is not a specific hex code attached to something (like colors of fire hydrants or benches), but when specific hex codes are attached to a feature it makes sense to specify.

Hello,

I remember reading conversations from other mappers about how hex codes should be avoided, primarily due to the difference of color between screens and real life, and the lack of hex codes to represent every color of reality.

It is possible that this was just their opinion, and that in reality both color tagging options are fine. But its also possible that they are right and the wiki is wrong; the wiki is, unfortunately, often misleading or incongruent with what current mapping standards are.

I added dark blue as a more general color.

The CSS color names do matter; if i were to edit this tag again, i would remove the spaces.

Im asking some other mappers about this.

Thank you for bringing this up :)

Hi 0x!

just so you know, there is some serious contention over the mapping of sports pitches. What you have done here is not wrong by American mapping standards at all; it is the way that most pitches here are mapped, with the games pitch being separate from a surrounding "general recreation" area.

In Europe and I believe the rest of the world however, the preferred method is to map the out of bounds area as part of the pitch. Their reasoning is that the recreation ground tag is for general recreation. So it would moreso encompass fields that can be used for any purpose. Because sports are a specific recreational activity, they dont consider them to be fair to label as recreation grounds. So, by their standards, this whole area would be a tennis pitch. for cases where there are two on one court, the pitches are extended to the edges of that court and split in the middle.

They use the tag leisure=sports_centre to map areas with multiple sport pitches. However, this tag also must only be used if the area is enclosed in some way. So it is more specific.

I dont really have a horse in this race, I dont play sports, but i learned this from a discussion I had about this with other mappers when working with mapping pitches.

One possible solution to this discrepancy, and in my opinion the best one to avoid the specificity of the tag sports centre needing to be enclosed, is a new tag such as "sports ground".

Just felt like I should make you aware of this controversy, as it seems like you are embarking to remap a ton of sport pitches across America (thank you for doing it!).

Again, what is here is not wrong by the local standards, there is just contention from international mappers about this.

Thank you for your edits and happy mapping :D
