Hello, I am a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at California University of Pennsylvania (35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh). I recently attended an OSM workshop at the Crisis Mapping Conference. It was great and I would like to hold a mapping party on my campus for my students to create the campus map on OSM in early 2013. However the edit I made to my campus at the workshop still has not shown up yet. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks asked 08 Nov '12, 13:05  TomM4 edited 08 Nov '12, 13:27  SomeoneElse ♦ |

Looks like you created a way with no tags. You have put some tags on one node of that way, but the tags should be on the way itself. -- Steve answered 08 Nov '12, 14:09  sdoerr edited 08 Nov '12, 14:56  scai ♦ |
Hurray for organising mapping parties! As a general answer to this kind of question see: Question: I have made edits but they don't show up on the map answered 08 Nov '12, 23:40  Harry Wood |
Also note that you can rectify the building by either pressing 'Q' or using the rectangle-like tool in Potlatch 2.
... or in general: Have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org -> Beginners Guide ...
There are some step-by-step howtos.
