A few minutes ago I edited Eredum, and I added a pond, some services (like a hospital), and other stuff. Please give me feedback on my work. And I need ideas to do the day after tomorrow. Next on the list for tomorrow is adding more residential to Eredum.

Hi Maxine. Contrary to their name, the “diaries” don’t really function like diaries. They’re more for putting up important public information. So you should use them judiciously, otherwise people will get annoyed with you and write nasty comments to your diary entries. So I highly recommend NOT making another diary entry for quite awhile and until you’ve done a lot more mapping.
But before you start mapping more, there are some great resources on the wiki, check out the help and resources page here. They’re you’ll find many great tools available on the wiki to help you in your mapping, from how to map a road system to scaling cities to making realistic railways, rivers and much more - check out especially the tools under countries and cities; coasts, waterways and contours; transportation and buildings sections. And once again, wait until you’ve got a bit more done before asking for comments on the diaries.
My feedback: There isn’t so much to go from but on what you’ve mapped, it’s nice that you’re tagging things correctly and that you’re using different features and not just streets.
But your scale is quite off. As ErnestPCosby recommended, look at Open Street Map at cities and places you like. There is also a helpful page here. Finally, there is an excellent scaling tool that Isleño mentioned in his comment to your previous diary entry here.
Good luck!

Though I appreciate you are giving updates for your town 🏘🏘🏘, like Demuth said you do not need to post your updates daily. Take time to browse through all the links Demuth have introduced, and I hope to see greater progress in your mapping.
