| 114077685 | I would say so. That is the way it is normally done in the UK, especially where the exact boundary cannot be determined. Such a node already exists, though.... node/26703040 |
|
| 114077685 | Regarding admin boundaries, you might find this interesting: osm.wiki/User:Csmale/ukboundaries |
|
| 114077685 | Well, let's start with the fact that the admin boundaries in the UK are pretty much complete and correct. I maintain them personally. That's not to say there are no mistakes out there, but there aren't going to be many. If you see something you think is wrong I would be happy to investigate/advise specific cases.

| 114077685 | District wards and civil parishes are connected only by coincidence. A ward is basically for convenience at election times (and are tagged as boundary=political), whereas a civil parish often has its own local council. You seem not to be based in the UK, judging by the timestamps on youw work. I suggest you abstain from making changes to UK boundaries until you understand the system a bit better, lest you start to annoy people. |

| 114077685 | Hi, thanks for responding. I have taken the admin tagging off of your new St Helens boundary as it does not correspond to any (local) government entity. I see you have now tagged the source as "Ordnance Survey" - exactly which OS dataset did you use for the geometry (not just the existence) of this boundary? Is it possible that it is an electoral boundary? |
|
| 115191122 | Are you sure about this? There are several relations for Rochefort, as a settlement and as an administrative entity. I think you may have made a mistake here. Do you have personal knowledge of Rochefort? By the way, it is expected in OSM that you respond to changeset comments, and take them seriously. Thanks! |

| 114077685 | Hi... Can you explain the source of this boundary? It doesn't look like it is a real administrative boundary (a council area). It also looks too broad to be the real town of St Helens. What was your frame of reference? |
|
| 115134580 | Hi... I'm reverting this as Derby City Council is a Unitary Authority and as such carries admin_level=6. |
|
| 114318439 | Hi! May I ask how you determined the exact location of Windy Gyle peak? The boundary now seems to be some distance away from the *(accurately surveyed) {lat,lon} location given by the OS in Boundary-Line, although it does now align with some aerial imagery, which is known to be susceptible to misalignments. |
|
| 114230385 | I am not sure whether they are "needed" or not. That is very subjective - you might not see the point of label nodes, but clearly many people do. That's why you should discuss such things instead of deleting other people's work. |
|
| 114230385 | You might want to revert this and discuss it first. It could be considered controversial. |
|
| 114078357 | Where did you get this "border" from? |
|
| 114078302 | Hi... What "town" is your new boundary supposed to represent? relation/13466955#map=13/53.4512/-2.6779 |
|
| 113817855 | Hi... Where is it written that 1900 nodes is the limit? Did you run into a problem with a specific tool? I always thought the limit was 2000 - see https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/365/is-there-a-limit-on-the-number-of-nodes-in-a-way How did you do this - just by dropping a couple of nodes? |
|
| 113631812 | Hi! Not sure this is a good move. Boundary relations support outer/inner roles in the same way as MPs. Other protected areas happily use type=boundary. As an MP it still shows up on a map but map not get found in searches on the data as type=boundary is kinda expected. What was your rationale behind the change?
|
|
| 112917840 | Hi! I know you are new to OSM, but can you please try to get into the habit of leaving meaningful changeset comments? No need to state what you are editing (that is obvious) but some background as to why, plus your sources, would be a good start.

| 111686853 | Hi Matt,

| 111686853 | Hi,
|
|
| 111175266 | Hi... I'm not sure these historical names are appropriate on this specific relation. London was tiny then, not much bigger than the "City of London" today. I suggest you look for a place-node around the City for these names. |
