Are these communities as in a village/town? Community centres are mere gathering places in communities.

Hello Victor, welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing to the map in Ghana. This is a valuable contribution.

Just one little issue, adding just 'Road' as the name of a road is not good practice. If we add just 'Road' to every single road then we wouldn't able to tell them apart. Only add the name if the road has a known name like Adeiso Road nearby. Review your edit when you map again.

Happy mapping!

Regards,
Sam

Hello Nana Sarfo, welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing to the map in Ghana.

The changes you made here have quite a number of issues.
1. Pay attention to existing features before adding to them. You have created highway=primary in places where highway=residential already exist. Consult highway=* to learn how to map highways properly.

2. You have added names of people owning/living in buildings as building names. That is not the practice in OSM. Only add names to buildings when they are official names e.g Jubilee House, Aseda House.

3. You have a lot of values written in upper case e.g addr:district=KUMASI. KUMASI should be Kumasi, nevertheless Kumasi isn't a district. You should understand the tags you use before you use them.

The number of issues with this changeset are a lot and I've had to unfortunately revert it. changeset/147884698.

I'd like to invite you to the OSM community in Ghana on Telegram (https://t.me/osmghana) so you can ask questions and learn from the community.

Best regards,
Sam

Hello Benedicta, why did you add "Wine and liquor shop" as the description of this ATM node/5776851160? It seems out of place for me.

Hello _jay_21211, this changeset has been reverted by changeset/147607606.

OpenStreetMap is a public good and not your personal property. Refrain from deleting data to suit your wishes. You can download the data and do whatever you want with it but removing data added by other volunteers is strongly discouraged.

Hi Abdul thanks for taking time to contribute to this project.

I will advise that you read the instructions on Maproulette carefully because your current edits are adding more problems.

If you are to continue mapping please map the outline of the buildings neatly and orthogonalise the shape by pressing S. You should also replace the existing node with the new outline (refer to challenge instructions).

Happy mapping!

Regards,
Sam

Based on the description you added I've tagged it as an advertising agency.

Hello Ekow, what kind of business does Interactive Digital do? You currently have only the name and some address details. It will need a physical tag (office, shop, or amenity) to make it a complete POI.

Hello Dampare, welcome to OSM and I hope to see you continuing to add to the map in Ghana.

As you requested for a review, one thing you must note is that the name=* tag is used for formal names of places and when used, the name value should not be all upper case letters.

Do not add names to buildings unless the really for names e.g Aseda House, American House, Jubilee House etc.

I've made changes to your contribution but note this moving forward.

Happy mapping!

Regards,
Sam

Welcome to OSM Bruce, that is a valuable addition to the map in Ghana. I slightly modified you contribution by moving the hotel details to a separate node as I assume the hotel includes opposite building.

This whole area cannot be a building. Your change has been reverted via changeset/144146514

Hello Seiduz, welcome to OSM. This building is too small to be a hostel. Can you verify if you tagged the correct building?

140858214

Keys without the contact prefix are equally valid.
This is more of an update than an import. The name of the company has changed so I updated the names and added information gathered from their website. Each of item has a source tag

140775509

Hi Hamdaway, refer to my comments about adding names in your first changeset. Here I see you have mapped the wall as a building. That is invalid. Search for wall in the iD Editor and apply the appropriate tag barrier=wall.

Happy mapping!

Sam

Hi Hamdaway,
Welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing to the map in Ghana. There is only one issue with your addition. In OSM we don't use all uppercase for names but title case. The name of the fuel station should be Naa Gami Fuel Station and addr:city=Tamale.

Happy mapping!

Regards,
Sam

Hello Abdu Jalil,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks to contributing to the map in Ghana. As a new mapper you have a couple of mistakes in your changes but I have reviewed and corrected the ones I can.

Kindly pay attention to existing amenities/places before you add them. You added new nodes for places that already exist.

Also take note of the tags you use. Do not use tags if you don't completely understand them.

Hello Lesiakower, the Subway restaurant does not operate in Ghana. You can see the list of countries where they operate here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_Subway_restaurants#Africa

If there is a restaurant named Subway in Kumasi then it is not operated by the global Subway chain.

Kindly review the changes you've made. Thank you.

Sam

Hello Jenell, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for contributing to the map in Ghana by adding buildings in your community.

You've done a good job with your first changeset but there are a few issues with the names you've added.

1. Names should not be all UPPER CASE but rather Capitalise the First Letters.
2. Names should be the true name of the place and not a description of the place type. E.g, Aboaso Church of Christ, God is Good Clinic but not just church, clinic, palace, etc.
NB: You can leave the name field blank if you don't know the exact name of the place.

Kindly review these when you map next time and I hope to see you add more places in your community to the map.

Happy mapping!

Regards,
Sam
