Add section to LearnOSM covering common mistakes
Nick Allen Mon 21 Jul 2014 8:01AMPublicSeen by 7I frequently carry out validating, and have found that some mistakes are repeated by many people new to mapping for HOT.
This link http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tallguy/Feedback/20140429_1 was sent by me to a new mapper as an illustration of a problem & how it should be fixed.
I can produce other information about other common errors - please can they be added to LearnOSM

....... The long pause is where I've been trying to read through all the information in the different places.
Is someone actually producing within LearnOSM a simple guide to a sort of 'mapping your first square'? I'd envisaged it including common pitfalls & how to avoid them. If so, would they like any help?
In the current structure it would appear to fit after 'The JOSM editing process'.

OK, have some more research & have found info, thanks

I think the common mistakes would be great. It is currently interspersed through LearnOSM chapters.

I agree. Where do you think it could fit the best in the LearnOSM structure ( https://hackpad.com/Content-structure-4SqM9KImfim )?
