I see you did the cleanup. I apologize for blasting away your address changes so quickly. I thought you had finished. I can keep fixing my mistake if you want to keep mapping.

Two bits of feedback:
a) when you're drawing buildings you should be drawing where the building touches the ground, not the visible roof line. For example, in this screenshot you traced the roofline with an extra node to match the roof elevation, but OSM is looking for the trace of where the building touches the ground (the green line I added): https://i.imgur.com/Xs0hps1.png

b) When you're done adding details to a rectangular building, hit the "Q" key to square the corners so they have right angles like they do on the ground.

Ok, I guess I'll come in behind you and clean it up then. Thanks for adding address data.

Once again, please don't delete existing buildings and redraw them. Improve the existing data first.

Hello! Thanks for your contribution. We had marked this place as closed during the uprising last year. Is it back open now?

No not gonna judge you dude. Just checking why you deleted 'em.

Were these bridges removed?

I understand. I'll adjust the access information so that data users can understand the routing restrictions.

Google Maps doesn't use OpenStreetMap and changing information here won't change how Google Maps does things. You'll have to use Google Maps' reporting functionality to let them know about the seasonal closures. Unfortunately, they aren't very responsive :-/.

Hello! Instead of putting this information in the "name" field, can you put it in the description? It looks like these roads still have a name.

Thanks for your contribution to the map! It looks like the city calls the park "Whissel Park" on their website. Do you think they misspelled it there?

It might be a real name, but it's not a real place.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap. It doesn't look like there's actually a pond there, so I went ahead and removed this. Please only add stuff to the map that exists in the real world.

Hi! Thanks for making a change to OSM. I changed the tagging on Mississippi River Boulevard, though, because last I checked the speed limit is still 25 mph (https://stpaul.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MinimalGallery/index.html?appid=8163a199754d4367b85ee928026b58a1#viewer=3afbb81b3dc94fffbcedd0abc2af0ba6) and the bike lane there hasn't changed. Do you have a reference for the change you made?

🤔

it's odd to have a bus stop in the middle of the intersection like this. Should that be on a sidewalk?

An experienced mapper also knows to be suspicious of dubious data submitted by brand new users.

I was referring to the fact that Mapillary doesn't show a sign for the business itself.

Polarbear, please ease up a bit. The original creator of this node was clearly a spammer/SEO person and not a local user. These types of users have never once, even after we've reached out to the companies that employ them. It's totally valid for user_5359 to delete these nodes and wait for a local community member to add data verified locally.

In this particular case, the website and Google search results look pretty sketchy. It's understandable that user_5359 would assume you used Google because that's the only mention of this place on the internet. Mapillary doesn't show any mention of this business either (https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=41.90322&lng=-87.939855&z=17&pKey=hRGdiYbTzUYf01HQTsvOWw&focus=photo).

Instead of deleting and replacing it, please fix the existing data.
