Hey there Evan,
Thanks for contributing to the map. I noticed some problems with some of your fairways that surround bunkers. You are using multiple polygons to surround the item, instead of properly using "multipolygons". See leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls for more information about proper golf course mapping. I've gone ahead and cleaned up but wanted you to know for future mapping that you might do.
Thanks.

Then why did you name it Shashta? :-D

Hope you're doing well.

FYI, restoring this to Fernhill Loop. The Lane County roads GIS has this as Fernhill Loop and a survey confirms. Not sure why you thought it was Forest Ridge.

As someone that went through the days long trauma of having my house incorrectly shown on government maps as being destroyed in a wildfire, I agree that extra care needs to be given to reporting accurately.

LOL. Someone's automation changed "73rd Street" to "73Road Street". Somehow this wasn't a problem on 63rd Street.

Hey there Numac,
Thanks for the golf course contributions to OSM. I notice that you're putting in what I call "lollipops" when you are drawing the fairway around something like a sandtrap. The proper way is to just draw the complete fairway and the complete sandtrap as is, then select them both and "combine" them (in iD) into a "multipolygon". If you need help, please reach out and I'll help you along. Thanks!

High desert golf must be something wild.

Thanks CurlingMan. It's my goal to get all of lollipops in golf courses cleaned up this year. You can read more on the OSM-US Slack server in the #golf channel if you're interested.

The translation of your comment to English makes zero sense, so you’re going to have to translate this for me or I can’t help you.

Hey there mech32. Nice to see that other people are actively working on golf course mapping. Thanks for your contributions!
There is one thing that I'd love to see you (and others) change in how things are mapped regarding fairways and greens. I see a lot of fairways that extend onto the green such that the ways for the green and fairway overlap, which isn't topographically correct. It might look okay when rendered, but isn't the "right way" to map things. It's like your saying that grass in the overlapping part is both green and fairway, which isn't right.
The correct thing to do would be to draw the fairway all the way around the green (extending slightly) and then combine the green and fairway into a "multipolygon" that says this whole thing is a fairway EXCEPT for the "inner" polygon that is the green. Here's an example: way/1232699314.
Alternatively, if it makes sense based on satellite imagery, run the fairway up to the green and re-use the points of the green to define the border between the green and fairway.

If any of that is unclear, please let me know and I'll work to better explain it. Thanks!

Ugh, yes, this is a known issue with "https_all_the_things". See https://gitlab.com/b-jazz/https_all_the_things/-/issues/8.

It happens very rarely though so it hasn't been a high priority (as you can see) over the last 5 years. I can't make any promises, but I'll see if I can dedicate some more time to getting a fix implemented. Feel free to follow the issue on gitlab to get updates.

In the meantime, I'll fix the mistaken edit. Thanks for pointing it out. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the contributions loralyn. There are a couple of problems that exist with adding the fact that the school is part of the town. First, you shouldn't just draw an arbitrary way (line) and tag it as being a town. The town boundary already exists and it should be modified. Another problem is the truth of that school belonging to the town of Ebensburg or Cambria. I don't have enough knowledge as I'm not a local so I don't want to make the corrections myself without knowing the history. But it seems like your way (1246747603) should be deleted at the least, and then some clarification should be made as to where the school actually belongs.

I definitely blame the tools, but I think it is far more than just iD. I wonder if there is some shared component that introduces the bug across several editors. I should do some analysis.

145554986

No worries. It happens all the time. Probably some subtle bug in the editor you're using.

FYI, something broke with your toolchain and the output made it into the website tag.

143626848

Phone numbers in my area don’t have an area code or country code, but the correct format is to include both of those. Same idea for website URLs.

Thanks for your note. Could you please expand what you mean by this comment? It’s not clear to me which edit you have a problem with and what that problem is exactly. Thanks.

I’m not sure what the purpose of this comment was. Is there a request for an action to be taken?
