Hi everyone,

I am Abinaya from Tamil Nadu, India. I have recently started contributing to OpenStreetMap by adding roads and local places in my area. I would appreciate any guidance on improving mapping quality. Thankyou

I only looked at one edit, here you added a lot of information about the bank, but some of it can be improved: there are campaign tracking codes in the website, these should not be there and should be stripped. Also, the image link is not leading to an image url but to a google page: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1248293486

In such a case, I would also remove the tag „source“ because it is no longer valid. Do not update it, because you already have indicated a source in the changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/179202219 and this is preferred and sufficient.

Similarly, the website here is not a website url: Node: â€ȘAasife Biriyani‬ (â€Ș13607741687‬) | OpenStreetMap it is a link to google maps. Either you look up their actual website, or you can just leave it empty.

Thank you for your feedback. I have cleaned the website URL, removed the invalid image link, and updated the source handling as recommended. I appreciate your support

Thankyou for pointing out that. I have removed the Google Map link from the website feild. I understand that only the official website should be used there. I appreciate your guidane and will be more careful with website tagging in future edits

Hey,

I looked at some of your recent edits:

(1) I am not sure if the word “bus stop” is necessary. It’s conventional to just add the name of the bus stop. So in this case just “Sivanandha Colony” shouls be fine.

(2) In this one, addr:city should only equal Gandhipuram, addr:street should be just Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, and postcode shouldn’t have any space. Also assuming Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road is alternative name for 100 feet road, it should be added as alt_name to the actual road. Also, it is better to transfer address to the building and place the cinema inside the building.

(3) Here building and Hospital tags should bw separate. Address tags will be on building.

Thankyou for addressing my mistake. I’ll rectify my edit now
