My apologies about duplicate messages. It looked like they originally didn't send.

You could separately map that pole and gantry and then attach cameras to that gantry. But if that's too much for now, that's alright too. 😅

Hello.
This edit has a similar issue as your other edits. You attached camera to the perimeter of a parking lot.

Hello.
This edit has the same issue as the previous one. Please disconnect camera from crosswalk

Hello.
In this edit you attached this camera to a crosswalk path. Semantically this doesn't seem correct.. I highly doubt that a camera is part of the crosswalk itself.
Please disconnect these 2 features.

Changeset reverted due to dragged node.

changeset/174700535

Hello. I wasn't the one that performed the revert, so I don't know if all the street names have been restored.
Regarding your workflow, if could consider using https://mapcomplete.org, since it have single-task-sort-of editing modes... Or just get more practice with iD 😉

Hello. You deleted names from many streets. Why?

Hello.
Is the way/226933484 exclusively for bikes now or is it a street+bike lane?

Hello.
This source: pdf does not mention this camera. What is the source of your information?

Looking at some of the local photos, it does look like those kerbs are "lowered" on all the nodes that you edited here. 👍

Hello.
Please note that in OSM multiple values should be separated by ";", and not ",". Additionally, to remove any ambiguity, it's best not to tag multiple house number values on a single osm object.

Hello.
When you are buildings, you can right click on them and select "make square" to make it have right angles. Doing that will make your mapping look neater and more accurate to the real world.👍
Also it would be great if you added address for this building.

Is there any public notice of this?
If I recall correctly, the OSM Wiki has a page that lists copyrighted sources with explicit allowances for OSM.

Let me be clear: I've never claimed ownership over any part of the map, nor have I ever tried to forbid mapping in any area. My core desire was always to see more mappers contributing to NYC. There's still an immense amount of work to be done – adding, improving, and updating.

My involvement in reviewing edits around NYC was born from my familiarity with the city. I live here, I know it. My goal was to ensure that such a highly visible and important area maintained the highest possible map quality. I wanted NYC to be a showcase and reference for OSM. When I saw what I considered to be inaccurate or suboptimal mapping, I'd comment on those changesets. This wasn't about stagnating the map; it was about seeking clarification, suggesting corrections, and ultimately, helping to prevent future mistakes, improve mapping standards and minimize the amount of changesets I would need to review. When I see edits from people that I know they consistently generate quality edits I only randomly look at their stuff to see if I can spot any unintentional mistakes.

Throughout my 15 years with OpenStreetMap, and particularly in recent years, I've navigated many disagreements. There have been misunderstandings and frustrations, of course. But every time, these issues were resolved respectfully, and we all learned something. What I've just experienced from @catgirlseraid, however, was a shocking and unprecedented "fuck you, fuck off" attitude towards my reviews and these following edits.

And when it came to "raising it with the community"? I tried. On Discord. My concerns were met with dismissive mockery – "🤓👆Ummmm, akschulally" and similar garbage.

The idea of "don't throw your toys out of the pram" misses the point entirely. These "toys" no longer bring me joy; they bring only stress. I'm no longer willing to endure that.

I'm increasingly seeing a trend where the community leans towards turning OSM into an art project with aesthetically pleasing shapes on Carto, essentially tagging for the renderer, instead of adhering to the principle of renderer-agnostic, data-accurate mapping. I'm no longer interested in fighting against it. I'm no longer interested in reviewing anything, nor am I interested in editing. I am simply done.

The 8,000 people who edit OSM daily will continue to improve the map, but I will not be among them.

P.S. As for the buildings @catgirlseraid re-added: they are temporary, seasonal tents erected and removed for various events. They are not permanent fixtures that should be mapped on OpenStreetMap. But I suppose that detail is irrelevant if it "looks good on Carto" for a personal portfolio website.
