OSM:  We aim to please!

It's not that you are or aren't using a "wrong" method of editing it, there are several (almost MANY!) methods.  At this point it is that I don't know WHICH "editor" you are using.  The word "editor" can be "software editor" (like iD, the more-or-less "default" editor built-into a web browser you get when you surf to www.osm.org.  Many people use iD, especially novices.  Or, "editor" it can mean "human editor," like you, when you edit in OSM (using a "software editor" of OSM).  Whew!

So, when you click the little down-arrow to the right of "Edit" at the top of your OSM browser page, do you select "Edit with iD (in-browser editor)"?

Or, maybe you are not on a computer / desktop / laptop (or even tablet) and using a web browser, you might be on a smart-phone and using an app to edit OSM, like Maps.Me or OsmAnd (there are lots and lots of these).  Or, you might even be on a smartphone, but still using a browser (in which case, you could use iD like that, but editing can be "crowded").

As I don't know which (software) editor you (the human editor) are using, but I guessed iD (and maybe I'm wrong), I'll need to know "which software editor" are you using, human editor named Lisa?

And we can go from there (I hope, I don't know everything about all of them!)

If you wish, we can take it "off-list" (between us, excluding talk-au at openstreetmap.org in our email distribution).
