151358828

Hi! Thank you for adding your business to the map. Please avoid promotional details in changeset messages, descriptions, etc: it clutters up the map if every business makes its name "McDonalds Burgers Portland The Best Burger You'll Ever Eat" (the description field exists for crucial neutral details like "A plaque about the battle that was fought here in 1848" or "Only accessible if it hasn't rained lately" -- info that travelers and customers need to have popped up in their face, and definitely not SEO stuff.)

Also beauty shops are a really vague category, given that you're an RN performing "med spa" type procedures and not really the same category as Sally's or Ulta I've modified your listing to be more like a dermatology clinic. We can modify as needed for the best fit but nothing's ever perfect (Rex Burger and McDonalds probably don't want to be in the same category yet here we are!)

Finally I've added your Salem location and cleaned up your opening hours to follow OSM syntax so it shows properly in apps: changeset/151379938

Some things that might be helpful to add to both locations are the level tag (0 is ground or first level, 1 is the first level above ground aka second floor, 2 is the what we'd call the third floor, etc), wheelchair access tags, etc, since I know the Commercial location looks a little complex.

Cheers and thanks again!

You mapped! Thanks for your contributions. Is this grass runway marked or made official in any way, or is it just a grass area that happens to be suitable for landing?

As much as I would like this neighborhood and offices to be a nature reserve, it isn't. Please don't make edits like this.

150858783

There's a sign that says "NO TRESPASSING" right here between 865 and 893 Winter, which are private residences. I don't think people or horses are allowed to walk here.

897 Winter Street is not a lake. Please do not make edits that don't reflect reality.

Thank you so much for your contributions! FYI when mapping sidewalks as separate ways, it's best to edit the parallel road and set sidewalk=separate (or even sidewalk:both=separate, see the wiki for details)

No problem at all! I'm based in Salem and always happy to help or chat, I'm also in the OSM US Slack and OSM World Discord chat channels.

Thanks for contributing! Can I ask a personal favor, that new parking lots traced from satellite imagery get tagged with the type (usually surface) and surface (usually asphalt) as well as access (usually customers or public or private) and fee (yes or no) if you know it? These are common validator questions that get asked by things like StreetComplete, and it's usually pretty easy to enter than info just by glancing at the imagery.

Thanks again and happy mapping!

Hi there! Thanks for contributing. Please use meaningful changeset descriptions so others know what you're intending to do when they review your changes. Even "park tweaks" is more informative than "updates." Thanks again!

82889353

Gotcha! Do you know what the convention is among PNW cyclists for local bike routes, do we consider sharrows enough or 🚲↗️5mi signage or some kind of official route on a website to be the bar? There's a ton of sharrows in the city so I want to proceed correctly

82889353

Hey there! I see a local bike route mapped here, but I'm not sure if it's a formal route vs just bike lanes. Do you have any info on this?

Thank you for your contributions! Please remember to write a relevant description in your changeset comments. It helps others review your work and helps you find what you've done if you ever need to refer back to past work.

Cheers! By the way I'm doing a bunch of work on Organic Maps (and addresses in Salem) and I notice that Portland has really good address coverage. If you'd like to collab a bit to make Organic Maps (and thus OSM) better for Willamettians, I'm happy to!

Thanks so much for your contributions in Salem! Together we're making the local map so awesome!

FYI this changeset had all of Salem Civic Center as bicycle=yes however "It shall be unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle in or upon the Salem Civic Center described in SRC 102.005. This section shall not apply to three-wheeled bicycles ridden by a handicapped or elderly person." I'm fixing.

Please remember to mark waterways as tunnels (or crossing roads as bridges) when mapping!

143511897

Hi! This is not a building passage and doesn't need to be a tunnel because the road overhead is already a bridge. I suggest you revert this change unless you have some other good reason for tagging State Street as a building passage.

Hi there! There's no need to create a new node for a building especially when there's already a building at the location. Generally, buildings should be mapped as rectangles and not just points: node/11295987652

Hi there! Please avoid tagging explicitly for golf video games, etc, when it doesn't make sense. At the top here we have a rough and a building tagged on what is obviously a traffic island and a lamppost. Even if you're just trying to play an accurate game of golf, it's still inaccurate to be tagging stuff beyond the playing field. If the game doesn't know how to interpret lampposts and grass but you want them to appear, file a bug with the game author don't mangle the map.
