Hello Cabana and welcome to OpenStreetMap.
One quick comment - please do only use real signposted names for things. I know that groups of riders make up names for things, but if they aren't used by a wide group of people they don't really belong in OpenStreetMap. You can find out more information about this at osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only .
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group.
Hallo Cabana und willkommen bei OpenStreetMap.
Ein kurzer Kommentar - bitte nur verwenden echte ausgeschildert Namen für die Dinge. Ich weiß, dass Gruppen von Reitern Namen für Dinge machen, aber wenn sie nicht durch eine große Gruppe von Menschen verwendet werden, sie nicht wirklich in OpenStreetMap gehören. Sie können weitere Informationen zu diesem bei osm.wiki/DE:Names#name_ist_nur_der_Name erfahren.
Wenn Sie Fragen haben, zögern Sie bitte nicht zu fragen.
Freundliche Grüße,
Andy Townsend , im Namen von OpenStreetMap Data Working Group.

@EzekielT before you made your original change did you consult with anyone from the OSM community in Eritrea (either living there or, given the politics, mapping there and living remotely)?

A bus station is typically what you get at the end of a route - think railway station, but for buses.
A bus stop is where you wait at the side of a road for a bus.

Thanks for doing this (saves me a job!).

FWIW, the issue I suspect might be the same as https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/issues/231 . The recommendation from Lonvia (who maintains Nominatim, which is what's producing "where I am" results) was "use areas".

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap,
Does the school that you've added here have a name?
Also, it seems a bit of an odd location (next to an HSS Hire shop). Maybe it got added in the wrong place by accident?
Anyway, hope you don't mind me mentioning this, just trying to help. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

(for info I've fixed that)

Looks like this has also added the Erewash Valley Line as far south to the Pilsley Road bridge to the MML relation in error, too.

Thanks for that. Re the "tertiary vs tertiary_link" thing, you might want to have a chat with the mapper who added them as tertiary links in the first place - I've never been bothered one way or the other and tend to just add them as tertiary, but some people do seem to change "tertiary" to "tertiary_link" on roundabout flares.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Is node/4273014391 ("Airbnb") actually a hotel, or is it just someone's house or flat?
If the latter it isn't really a hotel and shouldn't really be added to OpenStreetMap as one.
Hope you don't mind me mentioning this, just trying to help. If you've got any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Please don't add test data to the live OpenStreetMap Server. If you want a test server, perhaps http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/ would work for you?
Best Regards,
Andy

Bonjour,
S'il vous plaît ne pas ajouter des données de test sur le serveur en direct OpenStreetMap. Si vous voulez un serveur de test, peut-être http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/ pourrait fonctionner pour vous?
Cordialement,
Andy

Hello,
Something went a bit wrong with one of the University of Nevada's parking lots at way/404106343/history . One of the nodes got added in the north pacific at node/4063771189/history#map=19/46.34952/-145.67514 . I've deleted that node, but the rest of the area now looks incomplete.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
The changeset comment here is "Add missing road name" but that doesn't seem to match the changes made to e.g. way/140781387/history or way/30662057/history . Would it be possible to explain what changess you've made and what the source was?
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Robert,
Please stop thinking about things in OSM just as collections of XML data and instead starting thinking about them as representations of real-world objects. In this case someone used a python wrapper for the OS API (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/osmapi) to add an "ATM" in the middle of the Sahara desert at a suspiciously exact 10 degrees of longitude.
You have to ask yourself which is more likely - that (a) someone was exploring the Sahara Desert, and discovered an unexpected Central Bank of India bank machine, and then rather than using a regular OSM editor ran home to write something in Python to add it to OSM, or (b) they're adding test data in a place where they hope that someone won't notice?
If you fail to ask yourself this question then any edit that you make is by its very nature mechanical.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello ChrissW-R1,
You've been warned many times before about mechanical edits, including:
changeset/36578320
This edit is clearly mechanical, since it is a test node that another user has added in the middle of the Sahara desert. Please ensure that any future edits from you follow osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct .
Failure to do this will mean that you may be blocked from editing OpenStreetMap in the future.
Best Regards,

Is this really named "Walkway to Ternhill Crescent" or is that just a description of what it is? See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for more details.

@EzekielT Please do not make up names for things in OpenStreetMap. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for more details.

Can you please explain the changeset comment here "Perhaps it will give more space."?

40323951

Is this actually a bus station, and not a bus stop?
