Hi H-Q, welcome to OSM. Is there a reason you duplicated this building and gave it the name you did? All edits uploaded to OSM are visible to all users, whether or not you're "practicing".

Hi, Foxhall Crescent is not closed to the public, right? Why did you mark it as private?

Yeah, POIs and buildings can have the same address info as far as I know, so I don't think you need to remove that information unless it's wrong.

I plan to carry out my suggestion of using `dispersed=yes` on these objects next week, so please let me know if you have another idea, I'm happy to modify my approach!

How would you feel about moving "(disperso)" from the `name` tag and adding `dispersed=yes` to the object? That would preserve the information suggesting this is a non-standard community but move that info out of the `name` field.

Hey, just an oversight, I will fix this when I'm back at my computer next week or feel free to do it when you have a chance if the spirit moves you. Thanks for the catch.

Hi Robert, my reading of the OSM wiki guidance on US admin boundaries suggests that townships are fair game to map. And some township boundaries predate me (see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Tzn), so I think it's more a matter of them being a pain in the butt to create. Happy to discuss further.

Ok, done in changeset/158575570

Why should `disperso` be included in the `name` field and not another tag, if at all? See osm.wiki/ES:Nombres#Nombre_es_solo_el_nombre

Hi Kevin, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Can you describe what you were trying to do here?

Hi JJIglesias, I see you've reverted this changeset already. No software or projects use `is_in` because it is deprecated, but that's fine if you want to have it. This change was more to remove `(disperso)` that you have added to the end of the `name` tag of each of these items, which is certainly not a part of these locations' names. It appears to be a census designation from INE that you've imported into the database without documentation. If you think that designation is meaningful and should change the way the `place` is tagged, it should be an additional tag (eg `dispersed/rural=yes`), not in the name.

Hi JJIglesias. What data that I removed was necessary and why?

Hi Dimitar, I'm not quite sure what I saw or what I was thinking at the time, so feel free to do what you think makes most sense!

Please stop making these changes. They are not based in reality and every possible source (VDOT, speed limit signs, etc) confirm that the previous max_speed was correct.

Thanks Mike. I try not to touch the state boundaries because those are by and large much more recently updated, as you mention. I may have slid a node or two laterally along the state border because the county border "intersection" was slightly misplaced.

Hi Beakerboy, what is the Bluegrass Region and where did you find this definition for it?

Ok, sounds good. Just as food for thought, is it not possible the boundary represents where the banks of the rivers were 120 years ago (and thus not necessarily where they are now)?

Can you point to where you see that definition of Houston County's border? I didn't check primary sources before making edits, and the state of Alabama doesn't provide any comprehensive county boundary data that I can find, but the Houston County parcel viewer (the only semi-official county boundary I can find online) that I'm looking at now doesn't match your description of the county border along that stretch as far as I can tell, in fact it appears to be identical to the TIGER line that I added.

Hi HonestMapper, as others have pointed out to you, deleting these roads is not the solution. All of these road are correctly marked as private, so I doubt that any rideshare drivers or strangers coming through this area are doing so because of OpenStreetMap data. You can peruse the explainer here, and let me know here if you have any questions: osm.wiki/Why_we_won%27t_delete_roads_on_private_property

Hi shortkim, thanks for helping to improve the map. Please add more descriptive and useful changeset comments in the future, so that other mappers can easily understand what you've done. Thanks!
