hi, this is obviously political vandalism which will be reported and reverted! please avoid doing such changes in the future.

hi, when you add house numbers - there are two recommended ways:
1. add tags on the building polygon itself (easy and good for small buildings where entrance is easy to locate)
2. add a new node on the building polygon (not near, but part of the line) and add addr:* tags to it with extra "entrance=main" tag to mark actual entrance location (prefered for big buildings, for bildings with non-obvious entrance location or as extra effort while mapping)

the separate node address mapping is usually required only in case if building has more than one address (corner buildings), so the secondary (non-entrance) address can be mapped as such floating node)

and also, hebrew might be used only for very few kinds of tags, like name and description, for formal definition tags like denomination there are always English values: denomination=*#Jewish_denominations

if you unsure - please search wikipedia (osm.wiki/) or ask on forum or our telegram channel - we'll be happy to help

Welcome to osm and thank you for your contribution!
When you remove building tag it's nice to replace it with other tag which implies building.
Guess in this case these two will do the job:
amenity=place_of_worship
building=synagogue

while "landuse=religious" fits less.

Hi, in this case I think is better to put address info on the building itself instead of new node

Hi, please always ensure that default name tag is also duplicated as matching name:<lang> tag (name:he in this case)

You are also welcome to take a look on osm.wiki/Israel where you'll find other local conventions.

Welcome to OSM and thank you for your contribution!
Hebrew names transliteration is a complex topic, so to help searching different forms we usually add alternative writings in numbered tags like name:he1, name:he2. I'm sure you'll find these examples around. Please do similar fix here too - keep name:he tag as in road signs and add other forms to numbered tags.

if possible, please always try to modify existing items instead of deleting and creating a new one. this is important for preserving editing history.

Please don't forget to also add "name" tag. yes, it looks weird, but the default name tag should always have the same value as the local name tag (specifically here - same as name:he)

Hello and welcome! Thanks for your contribution!

Having sidewalks mapped is not bad at all. We do want to help routing services to create appropriate route for pedestrians. There are several ways to map them (and it's always recommended to firstly check osm wiki for specific feature, there are tons of details and I promise, you'll discover new nuances even after 10 years of mapping)

So, jump to "How to map" on osm.wiki/Sidewalks

in most cases the rule is simple: if sidewalk is adjoined to the highway and goes along the whole way part - just add sidewalk=left/right/both on the highway - super easy and fast method. if sidewalk has a different shape, not adjoined to the highway (like, there are trees or grass between sidewalk and the road), or there is also a bicycle way or you like micro-mapping - feel free to draw sidewalk as a separate footway (as it was mapped here).

so, specifically in this case your edit removed existing (good) feature without replacing it with any alternative - not good. please either restore these separate sidewalks or map them on the directly on the highway.

I'd also recommend looking into our dedicated page with special local rules: osm.wiki/Israel
there you'll also find other ways to connect with the community. feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Hi, curious what happened with all the retaining walls you added recently and then removed now?

174004174

Thanks for contribution! I guess these parkins are for electric scooters, right? Then next tag might fit better: amenity=small_electric_vehicle_parking

Hi,
you deleted here totally valid two-way HaArad street (way/912639832) and replaced it with two separate ways. I was here recently and street is not separated.
you can even see this on kartaview: https://kartaview.org/map/@32.11155,34.84019599999999,19z

would be glad if you can explain why you did this?

145818347

BTW, afaik, nor raanana.muni.il nor v5.gis-net.co.il are approved sources we can use.

145818347

hi, are you sure the park can have an address with housenumber? feels unusual

163101449

cool, thanks

Welcome to osm and thank you for your contribution!
Unfortunately wikipedia can't be used as a source for any edit.
Read more here: osm.wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia

And please remove these tags

Hi, regarding gps traces, if you are coming to this area, I can recommend you tools to record gpx yourself. Also, I'd recommend to use mapillary or kartaview each time you visit new places
