Hi I'm pretty new to Open Street Map. I've been looking for a discussion on this topic with no luck. A lot of the stuff that's been mapped in my area needs quite a bit of fixing up, some of the objects are linked together. I have found I can use the scissors to cut out nodes but this can be tedious. I am wondering if there is a way to break them apart. The most efficient method I've come up with is just deleting one of the objects and redrawing it. It's mostly areas that are supposed to define a building but are joined to other areas or roads. |

If you are using JOSM:
Do not simply select one node and press "G", because if there are other ways attached, all of them will get "unglued" to the others, creating problems for routing, etc. It may take some time to get used to it, but after some time you'll not even think about it. Please note that the topic of having areas like parks sharing nodes with ways, like streets, is quite controversial, but most people agree that the areas should not share nodes with streets. 2
It was actually two churches sharing nodes. I just deleted one and changed the way the areas were being used. Formerly the areas occupied the entire lot including parking lot, now I just made it around the building. I've been editing with iD. I am really interested in using other editors. I have access to ArcGIS desktop so I downloaded the editor with that but I haven't tried it out yet. Thank you for your answers and I'm going to be posting more questions :D

could you please copy and paste the link to a location of an example? Preferably use the "marker" function of the "share" menu. I guess you are talking about unjoining nodes which are used by more than one way?
Do you mean where landuse is glued to roads, like this:
(that's a screenshot of the Potlatch 2 editor)
It might help to say what editor you're using to edit OpenStreetMap, as the method to fix will vary depending on which one you're using.
