FYI, I reverted this changeset as it made a huge mess around Pathways High.

I was thinking maybe it could just be marked `amenity=parking` since I did see a couple of cars parked there in one of the satellite images.

Hi there @Digiranger. I've noticed a few of your edits and wanted to share a tip with you so that you can make better paths. I have a golden rule of OSM that says something along the lines of "paths shouldn't overlap other existing paths". If you need to overlap another path, or cross an existing path, you should terminate it at the crossing point and start a new path. It's very common to use many many paths when mapping out a sidewalk structure. It is best not to try to do it all with a single path, because that results in some validation errors.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense and you need some clarification.
Thanks!

Thanks for your first (and second) contribution to OpenStreetMap! If you ever need help, feel free to reach out to me. I do a lot of mapping a couple hours North of Ashland.

FYI, I deleted one of the Big Turtle Park since there was already another one at pretty much the same location/boundary. Is there a reason for adding the second park?

Deleted the mishmash of service roads in changeset/65557596. I can't imagine why they were there in the first place? Mapping for the renderer maybe?

Hi @Melase,
Just so you know, I deleted way/646011493 since there was already a way drawn for those roads. If you feel this is a mistake, please let me know.

Hi Brian@Brea. Can you help me out with way/625187729. There is a pretty hard and fast "rule" of OSM that ways can't cross over themselves without an intersection. If this boat ride is on a flat body of water, I'm wondering if a way is the best way to represent the path. If so, I'm guessing the way should be broken up into pieces and "intersections" put into place, right? If it is more of a ride (like a log ride), then the way should be broken up and layer=N tags put into place. I can't tell from imagery what the path actually is. So I'm hoping you can lend a hand.

Thanks,
b-jazz

Hi there. I'm curious to know why you are adding things like swimming pools and why someone else added a stereo store to a US census statistical area relation. Was this an accident? If not, please clear it up for me. Thanks.

Oh man. I'm really sorry about that. My change was trivial and can be reverted if that makes it easier for you to to resolve the conflicts.
I'll make sure I wait several days before editing any of your work in the area again.

Welcome to OpenStreetMaps, Janet. We appreciate your contributions.

Hi there Robert Lamm. Are you aware that the nodes that make up some of these boundaries are stacked on top of each other at least 6+ times? At least for way/652979075, there are many nodes that occupy the same centimeter of space. Is that something you can clean up?

Hi PaulaSJ. Can you explain what you wanted to do here? I'm not sure if you were aware or not, but there is already a segment in place for that road. Did you want to add additional tags to the existing road?

Is this a four hole course? If so, there is a more accepted way of mapping it so that there isn't a single intersecting line. Check out osm.wiki/Disc_golf for suggestions on how to map it. We'd love to see more courses properly mapped so they show up in searches.
Let me know if you need help.

Hey there MapperKB. Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to attempt to clean up "Eastern Woods" in the next few days. The way to describe the woods is overly complex and makes editing difficult and it violates some best practices (ways shouldn't cross, double back, or overlap themselves). You might want to keep an eye on the area and make sure I don't break something that you intended to be there.

Does Mosher Lake actually exist? Looks completely forested in that area from satellite imagery.

Hey there @metalartgate. Looks like you (and maybe others) are uploading multiple tracks for the same path. Can you make sure duplicates aren't being uploaded? In general, there shouldn't be more than one trace for a particular trail.
Thanks.

Excellent. I hadn't thought of that solution.

There is the Simplify Way (Shift+Y) command under Tools that will help, but it isn't perfect, I've had it leave behind a way that crosses itself.
If you are in JOSM, you should be able to select the way, and validate it (Shift-V) and it will bring up the validation panel telling you there is a point in the way that crosses itself.
My Garmin has an auto-stop feature that will stop recording if it detects that I've stopped moving. That might help as well.
