Welcome to OpenStreetMap! When making contributions, please use the changeset description field to describe what you changed. It's also helpful to describe where you got the information—I can't find evidence that a butcher by that name exists here.

Thanks for your contribution! Please make sure to use the changeset description to describe what you changed, not just where—for example, "Added the names of buildings at Stanford."

Street names in OpenStreetMap must not be abbreviated. See osm.wiki/Abbreviations

Hi, please don't delete objects and re-add them later. It makes it harder to track changes. Instead, improve and modify the objects directly.

This is incorrect. The curbs are double-sided.

"Private roads" can be tagged with the "access=*" key. Driveways are a different type of road. In OSM, a "service=driveway" exclusively refers to a short distance that connects between a house and a main road. See access=* and service=driveway

I can't speak for other universities, it could be that they are mapped wrong. I usually only pay attention to edits in my area. If you want to indicate that an off-campus office is run by SJSU, it's best to use the "operator" tag on that office. The "amenity=university" tag is only to indicate the area where classes are. amenity=university OSM has a rule that one feature should only be represented by one OSM object, so the campus should be a single "amenity=university" way covering the area where classes take place. osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element The land that SJSU owns is also not of interest to OSM: osm.wiki/Parcel The way I see it, if someone were to ask me where SJSU is, I'd point to the block between San Fernando, 10th, San Salvador, and 4th. A search engine therefore should be able to find a single object with that name and that area.

On OSM, one feature should only be represented by one OSM object. osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element Multiple amenity=universitys with the same name will confuse search engines.

Where did you move the address and unit numbers?

I've undone this change. The "name" key should only be the object's actual name, not a description, and these objects being inner members of the San José boundary is already enough to say that they're unincorporated. osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions

Thanks for contributing to OSM! Please do not reference Google Street View or Google Maps when editing OSM. It's illegal/against copyright, and violates Google's terms of use.

Yes, if you can get a photo of the building with the "90" address visible, then it would be fine to change. I'm not sure what the postal city would be in that case, though—I guess San Jose since the nearby Cupertino addresses are all in the 100xx range. And yes, a separate point for the other address would be good too.

It's far more likely that the 7-11 website is wrong than the USPS website. I tried all combinations of 90 and 10058 in the street address, and Cupertino and San Jose as the city, in their address lookup tool ( https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress ), and 10058 + Cupertino was the only one of the four that returned any result.

addr:city is for postal city, not physical city. Indeed, this location is physically within San Jose, as can be seen by the borders, but according to USPS, letters delivered here should have "Cupertino" in the city line, likely since it's served by a Cupertino post office.

Welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing! Names in OSM should always have their abbreviations expanded—see osm.wiki/Abbreviations . I've gone ahead and replace "N" with "North" and "S" with "South."

It can also be helpful for searching and editors working with old data to keep the old business information under a "disused" prefix: osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Welcome to OSM, and thanks for your contribution! Unfortunately I'm going to revert the deletions in this changeset. Even if a business is closed (which you should verify first), the address still exists, and shouldn't be deleted.

That is a better question for "SIM" or its users, since OSM should not be the only way to re-create a course. There is JOSM for offline OSM editing, and QGIS for general map making, but I'm sure there's better suited solutions.

I repeat, do not add features that do not exist, and do use more descriptive changeset messages. Failure to ignore these messages may result in a ban.
