Hey there! While I always appreciate seeing other folks editing the area, we prefer to maintain businesses as POIs, rather than merging into the building features. There are a variety of reasons for this, which I'd be happy to elaborate on, but simply put, it's not the preferred method of the local mapping community to merge these features.

Hey there! Nice to see new users in the area. The shape you drew would be fine for a retail area, but the building itself is smaller than that. Also, the web editor does a good job picking up brand names, and will auto-suggest the right tags for you, so in the feature type menu, you could just search "Casey's".

It does make a difference, as OSM maintains all the old data, even if it's deleted, in what's known as the "attic". Being able to see the history of an element is quite useful.

Preserving and modifying features is preferable in most cases, especially when the replacement object is essentially the same thing.

See: osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

More generally: osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions

Sounds good. I hope I'm not discouraging you from editing; most of your edits are valuable additions, and I'm glad to see another active user in the area.

Merging adjacent boundaries between res/farm and things like that are generally a good move.

Since you're using iD, take a look at the Map Data tab (press the F key). You can turn off certain categories of data, like boundaries, in order to avoid editing other features inadvertently.

Happy Mapping!

Also: PLEASE don't just snap nodes together willy-nilly. Not all features should be joined together, even if their nodes are close by.

Doesn't have a name, unless the local residents nearby call it something. Per USGS / County records.

Please do not delete features just to re-add them. You can simply adjust a tag, move nodes, or split features.

Please make note of your imagery offset settings, and be sure the imagery aligns with existing features before adding new things. Otherwise, very nice work with all these sidewalks.

PS - I happen to be the person who maintains the county's legal boundaries data, and that's not even where the parcel lines are at.

OSM doesn't typically track features like lot and parcel lines.
Also, it looks like your edit modified existing administrative boundaries, and merged nodes/ways that should not have been. Please be careful with your edits.

also, it looks like that was totally my fault. sorry!

Hey there! Thanks for adding some details to OSM! Just a heads up, the natural=wood tag should apply to the "wooded area", not to the preserve itself. A single nature reserve may have areas of scrub, grass, open water, or woods, as is the case here.

hey there! i see you're making lots of edits lately, and that's awesome! local mappers make the best map. just a heads up, though, there are some long-standing tagging disagreements about 'marked' vs 'zebra' on crossings, particularly as 'zebra' means something very specific in certain jurisdictions. also, some of the crossings probably should have been updated to 'unmarked', as many have no clear markings at all. unless my imagery is just outdated, i guess. anyway, keep up the good work!

Welcome to OSM, and thanks for adding to the Plano area! A few pointers:
1) when drawing buildings, hit Q to square the corners once you've finished.
2) when tagging schools, refer to the wiki page (amenity=school) to see which tags go where. I've gone ahead and moved the relevant tags to the school grounds.

Most of these seem to be CrossFit affiliate locations. While you're fixing the `sport` tag, you could add the proper wikidata tag: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2072840

It's just coming from their ArcGIS Server. The service URL is here: https://gis.dupageco.org/arcgis/rest/services/DuPage_County_IL/ParcelsWithRealEstateCC/MapServer/0

You can query the data straight from the OpenData site and specify a spatial query, using either the corners of the bounding box or a buffered point.

Alternatively, you can just open the feature service in something like ArcGIS Online or QGIS, where you can open up the attribute table, etc.: http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgis.dupageco.org%2Farcgis%2Frest%2Fservices%2FDuPage_County_IL%2FParcelsWithRealEstateCC%2FMapServer&source=sd

Great! I figured, but wanted to be sure. It wouldn't have been the first time someone mapped from Google Street View.

Just checking: "view from street" refers to you physically being present in this place, yes? Not a web-based street viewer, i.e., Google?
