Hi
It isn't really a town boundary. it started life as just landuse=residential. but then appears a couple of new contributors added other tags which confused the matter. If I'd noticed them when I amended the area, I would have removed them then.
https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/118462828

place=village/town/city etc rarely works as ways as no one knows the exact outline, if it exists at all. The vast majority are mapped as nodes. This is a typical poor example:
relation/9255883#map=14/53.2701/-0.6589

Residential areas are for representing locations where people live. Churches, parks, schools etc are not where people live.

I'll be removing the erroneous tags.

Hi
The railway station is already mapped.

Hi
Duplicate roads?

Hi again
relation/12010801
This is incorrect relation tagging. Please look up on the wiki.

Hi
In OSM we don't tag 'for ourselves', we follow certain rules.
You should have left the existing tag & added a separate fixme.

Are you sure this building has been demolished?

Hi

Do you know if this bit is still industrial?

Hi
node/3911532363
I presume these bollards are the rising/lowering variety or buses can't get past?

Hi
I didn't add residential.

I split this residential polygon as it crossed railway.

After being a member for just 11 hours, deleting "tagging for the renderer" edits across multiple continents seems a little unusual. Could you give explicit details of the deletions you've made & purpose of your other amendments?

95556535

Hi
As the station is open, proposed:station is the correct tag

Could you please revert these changesets & check with OSMR if /they/ have a problem with their software

Hi
Which routing software is failing with this tag?

Hi
Residential areas shouldn't really have the name of villages/suburbs etc as they are made up of commercial,industrial, schools & leisure areas. The boundary to the majority of suburbs in the UK are a bit random. I think it's better to use the place tag as a node.

Hi
It would be great if it could be added to the map:
leisure=paddling_pool

Hi
Welcome to OSM.
Your amend,emts have made the area less detailed. The aim of OSM is to provide more detail & accuracy, not less Please don' repeat this action. I'll be reverting your chainset.

94909280

Hi
II think the whole tag should be removed as OSM is not a dictionary.

What are the last 3 pronunciation bits?

All UK Railway Stations are already mapped & tagged.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

>Converted to a multipolygon - this is what iD does when you split a polygon way.

I think this is incorrect behaviour by iD. It assumes the user's desired end result is a MP. Just because it does it, it doesn't mean it's right way to leave it. Unless they're extremely long, splitting polygons into MPs is unnecessary.
