Why make a pointless edit lowering data quality? It does not hurt anyone to map them as ways

You cannot use other maps as a source if they are protected by copyright. This includes Apple Maps.

Dino, your opinion does not reflect consensus. First, access=no should be used for military bases. Second, GPS is not required for all edits. Aerial imagery is an acceptable source of tracing and currently the primary source used for the vast majority of edits. Finally, appropriately licensed correct data should never be removed from OSM, even if it is illegal in a particular country, since OSM only operates under the laws of the UK.

Thank you, I did not see the discussion over there. It provides useful additional context. I don't think that just because the AI building is unchanged that it means it is an import, unless the building would be caught during manual review. I have seen areas where the AI detections are at least as good as a first pass by most mappers.

Unless you have evidence of a high error rate that suggests some of the buildings were not manually reviewed, skquinn has indicated to the contrary that his editing process is more than just selecting a bunch of buildings and pressing "add".

It is not our fault that incompetent routing software and/or drivers do not respect our correct data.

Kinsio, it is only considered an automated edit if the AI data is not manually reviewed before upload. For example, if I were to download all MapWithAI buildings in an area, select the entire layer, and press "add", that would not be adequate review. If, however, I look at each building to confirm good alignment with aerial photo, then that is sufficient oversight. However, we are not perfect, so it is possible that we accidentally accept a building that we meant to reject, or we allow a poorly digitized building by mistake. Why do you believe that this changeset is in violation of the Automated Edits Code of Conduct?

Be careful not to connect landuse to boundaries, like Star city limits. It makes it harder to maintain.

abandoned=village is not recognized by most data consumers. place=locality would be a better choice.

Please explain why you have added address info for an Ocala school to a school in Virginia!

How did openstreetmap.org/node/4589464902 get conflated with a location in South Carolina?

What's up with way/739662265, a Connecticut theater in Wisconsin?

You have added multiple misspelled churches. The correct name is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".

I do not believe there is a town with zero people here.

The road ends just before Pioneer Canal. The rest is a shared driveway.

It is a violation of Google ToS to use Google Maps for contributing to OpenStreetMap! osm.wiki/Google

Welcome to OSM, and thank you for contributing! Directionals and suffixes in names should be spelled out. For example, Joplin Rd would become Joplin Road. way/1299904470

Welcome to OSM! To encourage water Pokémon to spawn, you can map the area of the river. Draw closed ways representing the riverbanks, crossing the river and turning around every few miles, then tag with natural=water and water=river. Note that Niantic updates the in-game map infrequently, so it may take a couple years to see spawns change.

These buildings look a bit wonky. In the future, make sure you trace over the building outline more precisely. Also make sure to orthogonalize the buildings by selecting and pressing Q after drawing.

It seems clear I am not the only one who views it as cruft.

I did not, and I forgot iD defaults to clockwise.
