| 170132758 | At least for the Supercharger in Post, TX, ZeLonewolf's changeset only removed a tag. Coordinates weren't touched, but I just restored them to their correct original values before they were overwritten by the 2025-06-22 bulk import from SCinfo (which had coords that were 27.7 off, not huge, but visible). |

| 170047660 | Hi, Allison P, did you see the responses? They were thoughtful and give me confidence that I picked the lesser of two evils. What do you think? Do you know people at Ridley's? If so, maybe you can advise them on how to improve their site. |

| 170047660 | I just submitted this question to the OSM Community Forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/is-it-ok-to-include-a-website-tag-for-a-point-of-interest-if-the-website-has-any-advertising-on-it/133791 |
|
| 170047660 | Oops! typo: a question |
|
| 170047660 | If OSM prohibited any POI website that contained anything that could be considered ad, a good percentage of websites would have to be deleted. Is that what we want? Sounds like a questions for the OSM Data Working Group. |
|
| 170047660 | https://shopridleys.com/locations.php gives the address, phone, and hours for all locations, so that's best we can do now. OSM is a community project, so you can edit out the website if you feel super strong about it. However, that will leave no website at all, except in the changeset source, which is where I found the address, phone, and hrs. |
|
| 170047660 | I saw that page, but there is no address, phone number, or hours, just ads, so that would become advertising spam that's prohibited on OSM. |

| 168705683 | Hi! Appreciate your mapping because we need all the help we can get, but I have a request. Would you add more specific changeset comments than "add parking and update alignments"? Many times it has nothing to do with parking, so a generic changeset comment is not useful. Might as well leave no comment than a confusing one. JOSM can show exactly what your changes were, but it would save everyone's time if they didn't have to fire up JOSM. Here's how to help us: do more frequent saves, like when you edit one object or a few nearby objects, and give specific comments for those edits. iD and JOSM will save your comments so you can reuse them from a drop-down menu (and edit as needed). That's pretty cool.

| 169107341 | Oops, I meant old_name tags. |
|
| 168430624 | BTW, since I added the service roads around the new Otonomous Hotel, wanna add the parking lots? |
|
| 168430624 | All that around the Otonomous Hotel is not "add residential area". I know it's extra work, but PLEASE update in smaller increments so that your changeset comments match what happened. :) |

| 167638797 | Survey result today: node/7278959378 is completely empty of merchandise and only shelving remains. It could return as any type of shop, so did not use disused:shop=craft |
|
| 167638797 | Hi CjMalone! I saw your bulk edit and so I checked the JOANN store within walking distance to me that I had tagged about 2 months ago as about to close: node/7278959378

| 166593656 | Looks like that URL got munged. This is better: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Data/Documents/Routes-to-Highway-Cross-Reference-Table.pdf |
|
| 166593656 | I heard back from my contact in Wren, OR. Here's what he said: This is a complicated problem, I see this all the time traveling all over the country.
For Oregon, in general, outside of city limits, the signage used is the US or State Highway number, not the ODOT name. Inside of city limits it's up to the city to decide whether to use the ODOT name the highway number or some other name. There are, of course, several exceptions to this. |
|
| 166593656 | OK, I messaged my guy in Wren OR, asking if any of his photos have street signs. This is getting really interesting! |
|
| 166593656 | One of our guys was just there less than 2 hours ago, confirming the station was live. He's in Wren, OR, so at least in the same state. I'm going to ask him because he might have photos. |
|
| 166593656 | Gotta crash. Talk later! |
|
| 166593656 | I guess the question is how do we deal with this road being called by several different names? Someone is maybe still calling it "Halsey-Sweet Home Highway" but the US Postal Service doesn't use that and neither does the State of Oregon on their map. So, what do we do? |
