Aw crap, thanks for the heads-up! I thought I had fixed it after JOSM crashed and I got a whole bunch of conflicts of exactly that type, but apparently some were not detected. Any tool you can recommend for checking what I still have to fix?

Hi,
as I explained previously, please don't tag social_facility all over the place. Also "house" is not a name.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
please use building=house for houses. social_facility=group_home is not the right category.
social_facility=group_home

Hi,
when you add new ways, please make sure you connect them to existing ones. The editor warns you about this when saving, don't just ignore that. Otherwise the ways won't be reachable from anywhere.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,

please have a look at the established landuse values at landuse=*
landuse=Paddy doesn't work.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
the street "Rilawala Dola" you added here can't possibly exist like this. It crosses the main road without connection and ends in the river. Also, there is no trace of it on any satellite imagery, not even Google's that seems to be from 2020. I'll remove that one and its little side street, maybe you want to resurvey?

Cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
this doesn't make sense - you've added "landuse=orchard" to buildings. They look more like actual buildings than tiny tea gardens, don't they?

Hi,

you've got some tags mixed up here: a bridge over water is a *viaduct*, an *aqueduct* is one that carries a river, canal or pipeline over something else. See
bridge=aqueduct?uselang=en

cheers,
Matthias

Hi Nuwantha,
road=highway won't work as a highway tag, it has to be highway=road. But only use "road" if you really don't know any better - small stubs serving only a single building are best classified as highway=service service=driveway; somewhat bigger ones as highway=living_street or highway=residential.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi Sunali,

you deleted some building tags here but left the ways in. Now I don't really know what you meant: are there actually no buildings or was the deletion a mistake?

cheers,
Matthias

Oh, one more thing: if it looks like a track on the ground, adding a surface=* tag is helpful surface=unpaved as the most general, or dirt or gravel if you know it in more detail.

Hi,

when mapping highways, please remember to tag by importance, not appearance. If it has a name, it may be a very bad, unpaved way, but it's likely at least highway=residential; if the name has "Road" in it, maybe even highway=unclassified if it's a connection between villages or something that is likely to get some through traffic. Something with a name is almost never a track or path, except for something like the jogging path at Parliament Lake :)

By the way, you can press "Y" in JOSM with a way selected to simplify it. Often many nodes that are in a straight line aren't even required.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
is this temple really an improvised building? With >300 square feet of cement floor?

cheers,
Matthias

Hi!
somehow road=highway seem to be a company idiom with you guys, I think I've seen that from Madushani Ganga, too ;)
highway=road would work, although "road" should only be used if the kind of road can't be determined. Here it's most likely highway=residential.

Cheers,
Matthias

Hi,

please don't invent your own tags but stick to the ones documented on the wiki, or your data will not be useful for anyone else.
I have commented on some of them here: changeset/91435510

Also (I'm not sure whether you're part of a team and this should actually go to your boss) please don't just create new accounts when one gets temporarily blocked as has happened for Ruminda12.

cheers,
Matthias
