Hello rdell.

Welcome to OpenStreetmap and thank you for your contributions so far. I note however that you’re shortening many roads names to abbreviations. We tend not to use abbreviations in OSM as they can be ambiguous, and information is lost. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29

Can you please keep names in OSM as full, unabbreviated names? I will be reverting the ones changed for far.

I am sending this with a 0-hour block meaning you must read the message before you can continue editing. I am doing this because attempts by other users to contact you have not have any effect and therefore it is unclear if those messages have reached you at all.

Please contact data@osmfoundation.org if you have any questions.

Many thanks
