Tagging for an external program like Overpass is incorrect.
If Overpass is not able to query it, either Overpass is doing something wrong, or you don't know or there isn't a tag to do so. You fix this by looking for or proposing said tag, not by changing data in OSM.

Try adding traffic signal and tactile paving tags to a highway=crossing + crossing=traffic_signals node. You can still seperately map traffic signals.
Alternatively, you can map traffic signals for pedestrians on the kerb (barrier=kerb). That way you can query which ones are for pedestrians.

Hey NANDJO,

Feedback; The building you mapped seems inaccurate. Try using Maxar -which seems to be the best imagery to use here- and zooming in as far as needed to see what you are mapping. Map the roof outline -don't include walls or shadows-.
You can always move individual, multiple or all nodes, rotate, or undo if you make a mistake. Be sure to again square the building after adjusting it.
If you are able to see the grey area on the right of the roof, this may be a wall. If you think so too, you can move the whole roof outline down the wall to the surface. It doesn't have to match the rotation or size of the wall; in order to map the surface outline you may need to survey the building -I assume you aren't able to do this-.

If you need more help, contact your/a community. You can also find communities here:

Just fyi, found some drone footage as reference, looks like it's a grass field. May be used as public area, but it seems to mostly be used to get to the possible school building / the road.

Hey Enock4seth,

way/1023385918
Are you sure this is a soccer pitch? Only a clearing and road are visible. A square/rectangular-ish clearing with random bare patches does not make a soccer pitch. It's also overlapping the road.

Daniel

Hey waldhans,

It's always useful to add the imagery or other sources you used.
Validators are not sources and should only be used as reference, but you're free to add them as sources as well.

Daniel

The tactile_paving tag does not apply to seperate traffic lights, see my earlier comment;

Hey Anne,

"The Laundry" is called and signed "The Laundry Basket" as far as I can see. Has this recently changed?

Feedback; I am assuming these roads and buildings exist and are being built right now. If they do not exist, they do not belong on OSM. Let me know.
In that case you should look at
osm.wiki/OpenGeofiction

The buildings you added so far are not square. Select and press "q" to square, or right click and choose "Square". This will square the corners of a building. Sometimes you will have to make further adjustments and square again. For more complex buildings you'll have to take your time.

Be sure to reply to this comment and let me know whether these buildings and roads exist or not.

Regards,

Daniel

I'd preferably leave out anything if it's not directly related to the object, like the organization a person's worked in. It usually doesn't sufficiently describe said person.
In that case, you may have a better, shorter description which you can fit in as a description or subject:description tag or whatever you prefer (ATYL; Any Tag You Like)
"remembers x, category y in place/time z".
Alternatively, you could add said wiki page yourself, but there's no need to do so of course.

The primary "wikidata" tag without any prefix-:-es as I understand it is only meant for the object itself, not for its subject, owner or the etymology of the object's name -though you could choose to leave out that last one if it is already described on the object's wiki page-. It's more appropriate to keep them apart.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't take time to check this.

Do you agree the wikidata entry I mentioned is the relevant one? You can add it if you want to.

If you get warnings, you get them from the editor, they usually concern your edits and not your changeset comments (read: descriptions).

You have been for a long time and are continuing to use the same changeset comments even after replying to my comment.

If you do not understand my reply, have encountered an issue in any of your changesets or need one reviewed, tell me. I can not help you if you do not communicate sufficiently.

Use the feedback provided. Any further bad changeset comments may be considered intentional -and as such your edits may be considered bad edits-.

Other mappers can't and won't continuously ask you what you changed, we should know from your changeset comment what you generally changed, not just "I edited this area or street for the this-many-ith time". This is inappropriately re-using old comments which don't even describe your changes in the first place.

To help you, in this changeset, you "removed the natural=spring tag from a holy well". You can literally put this as your changeset comment if this is the only change.
For multiple changes to i.e. a street, you can use "added", "changed", "moved", "removed"- and "tags", "nodes" or "ways" for example, just to name a few words. You don't have to explain in detail, but you have to give a short description which represents the changes in your changeset. "update" is what you can be said to do with every edit, it's not helpful or descriptive.

No problem. Some location information can be derived from other data, but address tags are always useful to have.

The node you mentioned could use the addr:housenumber tag, though if you're not sure what the housenumber is you can skip it.

Hey Anne,

The tactile_paving tag does not apply to traffic signals. It only applies to i.e. footways and highway=crossing nodes (where i.e. footway=crossing and the road meet).

Compare;
for pedestrians, on highway=crossing nodes
crossing=traffic_signals

for pedestrians, when mapped seperately
highway=traffic_signals#Traffic_signals_for_pedestrians

for cars, which is always mapped seperately from crossings(!)
highway=traffic_signals#Traffic_signals_for_cars
(there's pedestrian tags on the one in this changeset for example.)

Be sure to zoom in enough to see which one your tagging.

Regards,

Daniel

Are you sure Templedowney Church of Ireland is on Main Street? (preferably the postal address)
Its main entrance seems to be on Church Street, which name also seems to imply this (though this doesn't have to be the case). I do see maybe one narrow entrance on Main Street, but that's all I can say from aerial. The only website with an address is findagrave -it says Church Street-, which we both can't use and isn't a reliable source afaik.

Regardless, I think it's a good idea to add its wikidata;
Q55029615

Let me know.

Hey Peer van Daalen,

It seems you added place:suburb instead of addr:suburb by accident.

Hey TXPeig,

"<object x> update <version number>" does not describe the changes you've made in a changeset.

Please use good changeset comments, see the page below;
osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

In addition, I would appreciate it if you replied to this changeset comment so I know you've seen it.

Regards,

Daniel

Hey Victor,

I would suggest using
subject:wikidata

wikidata=*#Secondary_Wikidata_links

Is there a reason you used "related" instead?

Regards,

Daniel

Hey egmont,

Your cliffs seem to be pointing upslope.

As you have almost 31k changesets, I'm sure you are aware there are multiple aerial imagery layers available in the editor; see
osm.wiki/Pick_your_mapping_technique#Aerial_Imagery

I would recommend checking other imagery layers to find how to map the cliffs. Bing does not show height differences well.
You can right click a line like a cliff and "reverse" it to make the triangles which stick out on the side of the line to point down the hillside.

We do usually not map herders paths, dry water flow over flat bedrock plateaus, archeological sites or similar. Paths and waterways have to be physically present (at least clearly visible; signed is also helpful) to be mapped. Read the following page on good practice, please.
osm.wiki/Good_practice

The archeological sites you have mapped are mostly holes rather than hills in the landscape and othwerwise are also unverifiable.

If you continue to map like this it may be considered vandalism.

Regards,

Daniel
