Changeset When Comment
177804690

Please don't use name='public right of way', name is reserved for the actual name of paths, if any. In this case, these paths should be unnamed with designation=public_footpath

178404871

I have restored the grass and trees that you deleted - please don't remove things unless they have been removed, it's hard to know what your intentions were in this changeset because of the short changeset comment. It's also not appropriate to addd 'out of date food' to the name of a shop.

I've changed the cycling to highway=cycleway instead of highway=footway and removed the amenity=childcare nodes named 'Litter everywhere'.
I've also changed aerialway=zipwire to playground=zipwire.

178451162

I've reverted the changes two the two recreation grounds within the school areas - they were correct as-is

178464860

I've reverted this change, the way the mini roundabout was tagged as a node before was correct

178467157

I've removed the duplicate Luton Ambulance Station nodes here - you only need the one tagged on the building

178501424

I have made some corrections here - the dentist and nursery features were duplicated, with nonexistent buildings added.
name=Nursery Staff Parking is a descriptive name, it should be unnamed with access=private and operator=Rothesay Nursery instead

178574593

I have reverted some of the changes made here - it was not correct to delete the woods within Dallow Downs.

178275048

I've changed the tag to building=X + abandoned=yes, abandonded: prefix shouldn't be used on buildings

177926960

Thanks for adding these buildings and addresses! As you can see, a large amount of the buildings in Melksham need to be split into individual houses, so your contributions are definitiely appreciated. You can also try enabling 'OSMuk cadastral parcels' in iD's background menu to show property boundaries, which should help identify where to split houses. If you plan on working with a lot of buildings, try the more advanced josm editor with the building tools plugin which makes drawing offset terraces super easy! Happy mapping!

Thanks for making these changes! I've made some adjustments to the access roads here (unclassified roads are intended for rural roads, not access to car parks). The other tags were added correctly, for example the address and opening hours, so thanks for your contributions!

Hey there, thanks for your contributions to OSM! Ideally, when mapping houses, you should draw one polygon/area per property, so for example two semidetached houses should be represented by two connected building=semidetached_house areas. If you go into Background Settings in iD, you can enable 'OSMUK Cadastral Parcels', which will highlight most property boundaries and should help show where buildings should be divided. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, thanks! Happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for your contributions! I've just had a look through your edits, please make sure if you add new roads they don't overlap existing roads or tracks, and are connected wherever they cross/have junctions. I've just made some corrections to adjust the new road you added, thanks. Happy mapping!

176061168

I've changed access on all the LVCC roads to private, not customers - please see changeset/177668718. access=customers implies customers can drive their own cars down these roads, (like in a car park), this is obviously not correct & only authorised vehicles may enter.

177631977

Hey, I don't think it was right to connect the ends of residential roads to the pavements I mapped, I don't think it's necessary to have connections here given that the pavements are now mapped separately in detail. If a connection is necessary for routing, I would use footway=link with a barrier=kerb node, rather than continuing the highway=residential way onto the pavement. Thanks.

177634506

Also retagged highway=give_way entering roundabouts to traffic_sign=give_way

177448729

It's Coole

177323188

Correction: the real overpass query is https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2iSW - includes parent ways for loading into josm

177215116

Fyi @GPMapper I fixed wikimedia_commons= on the Kazahkstan relation (it was incorrectly tagged wikimedia_commons=CategoryKazakhstan-Russia border), clearly just an autofill error in this case. changeset/177271178

Correction to my initial message: I meant to link this way as an example where sheep can be seen grazing and therefore should be tagged landuse=meadow: way/1466753375
In my opinion the difference between meadow and landuse is not contentious (within the wider community). It's clearly explained on the wiki that landuse=farmland is to be used for areas that are tilled and crops planted. This differs from the wiki definition for landuse=meadow: land vegetated by grass used for growing hay or grazing animals. I don't follow what you are referring to in regards to heirarchy of nomenclature and first principles, but it seems like there's some kind of official designation of farmland that you're adhering to. Just because an area is zoned as farmland, does not mean it must be tagged as landuse=farmland, if its usage corresponds better to another tag. I don't believe it's ambiguous to classify things as meadow, in fact it's more ambiguous to classify everything as farmland. I'm sure the majority of the OSM community would agree with that, it's clearly documented. Unfortunately, individual mappers aren't allowed to apply their own personal definitions to tags, we all have to work together.
