| 129804072 | Hi Stephen, I'm wondering if you have a source for the yield sign at 11th and P on P street. I've never seen it in person and none of the remote sensing datasets have it either, but I haven't been through that intersection in a while. Is that a temporary construction sign or a new, permanent sign? Thanks! |

| 140294485 | Hi SilverWheel! I'm Nick, another mapper in Sacramento County. Welcome to OSM! I have one small bit of feedback, which is that the OSM community prefers that buildings are "squared" - that is, that corners are 90 degrees, unless a building is truly round. After tracing a building, you can automatically square all the corners by selecting the building and hitting the "Q" key on your keyboard. You'll see the corners move to line up at 90 degrees.

| 134219442 | Hey there, just a heads up that I'm reverting the change you added here - sourcing data from Google Maps isn't allowed (and can get the whole project into trouble) - see this wiki article about the Google Maps license and how it forbids use in datasets like OSM: osm.wiki/Google This page on the wiki has some alternatives to Google Street view (with varying last-update dates) that *are* allowed for use in OSM when cited: osm.wiki/Pick_your_mapping_technique#Street_view_data Also, the speed limit in this changeset of 40 mph seems incorrect for this location - I've regularly seen 50 along this stretch (including looking at the same street view imagery). Is there a construction restriction (which shouldn't be included in OSM), or do you have an alternative source for that speed? |

| 134633938 | OK, I'm wrong - there are quite a few paths around the edges of the park that still need to be mapped. |
|
| 133884977 | Hey there - just wanted to say thanks for fixing this area - I'd tried to make changes last week to reflect lane connectivity changes that were put in place last year, but realized today that I'd messed it up. Thanks for putting things right! |

| 133355616 | Hi Lactone - thanks for contributing the buildings in Sacramento. One comment I have since it looks like you contribute lots of buildings all over the world - most local communities I'm aware of prefer you square/orthoganalize the buildings you draw (you can press the Q key in both iD and JOSM, though that shortcut may vary by your keyboard locale) - that makes the geometries more useful and more likely to match what's on the ground. Just wanted to provide that feedback. Thanks! |

| 130526715 | Hi Jeremia - I'm a fellow mapper in Sacramento and saw the new parking lots you've been adding. I've also been working on mapping downtown, so it's nice to meet a fellow mapper! I have one item of feedback that would help edits match with those from the broader OpenStreetMap community, and that's about "squaring" areas (like buildings and parking lots) when the areas have edges that are near-right angles on the ground. In iD editor, you can do this by clicking on the parking lot after creating it and then hitting the Q key on your keyboard, or via the right click menu. |

| 125229745 | Procedures may slow us all down, but are frequently the difference between good and bad data. They're also the difference between a personal database and a collaboration. None of us can decide to *not* be a part of this community and what the community agrees on, and continue editing. That applies to me as well. If it was important to me that data be entered without following the community's rules, I'd need to stand up my own copy of the database and edit it instead - that's an option for you if you don't agree with the required procedures. If it is important to you that the community understand that the import process is onerous and reducing your ability to contribute by taking your time, it's relevant to discuss that on the wiki, Discourse, talk lists, Slack, Discord, reddit, wherever, and try to improve them. But it's not allowed to just make edits. I'm not any kind of manager or privileged user of this community, just someone else who, like you, cares about the data too - the rules are what gave us this database as it is today - I plan to follow them and hope you will too. |
