Hi Iwerne, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I just wanted to check whether you have permission to copy that information into OSM. I know that postcodes (but not addresses) from Royal Mail are OK, but don't know about Bristol's Pinpoint map. It looks like Bristol Council do have a lot of open datasets, but I cannot see one relating to addresses.

If you do not have permission, there other sources available online which are allowed to be used e.g. out-of copyright OS maps. Although an on-the-ground survey is always best if you can!

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi Beacon2025, welcome to OSM. Just wondering why have you deleted this school? It looks like it is still open. I have reverted this edit with changeset/159020585

Hi, I see you've deleted The Shrape breakwater and re-drawn the coastline around it and I'm wondering why you did that? I don't have any local knowledge of this area but looking at OS OpenMap Local, this breakwater has not been included as part of the coastline since the October 2017 release, so I think it should be separate.

Hi Jack, Thank you for your contributions but unfortunately we cannot use google street view as a source for editing OpenStreetMap as it is strictly against their terms of use. Any edits based on GSV will need to be reverted unless there is another valid source that we do have permission to use.

I see there are 11 changesets where you have referenced GSV as well as Bing and local knowledge (which are OK) at the same time - some of which involved deleting other people's work. To what extent can your edits be replicated without using forbidden content from GSV?

Regards,
Jez

Hi Cre8iveMedia, Thank you for your contributions but unfortunately we cannot use google maps as a source for editing OpenStreetMap as it is strictly against their terms of use. Any edits based on gmaps will need to be reverted unless there is another valid source that we do have permission to use.

Thank you for your timely addition! I had no idea what it was from Bing Streetside when I was adjusting the sewage works boundary earlier this week. I have now excluded this from the sewage works area.

Hi Joseph-97,
You're doing some good work adding to the map! Here's a few tips for adding buildings:
- First, when aligning aerial imagery, use the "OSMUK Cadastral Parcels" overlay (scroll down the Background Settings list). This is the best way of ensuring consistency across the UK.
- Second, after drawing the building outline at roof level, it should be moved to match the location at ground level.
- If you delete what's there and start again from scratch (as you have done here), be sure to add back relevant tags that were on the original building.

Happy mapping!
Jez

Hi Satotiga, I think Rialto Court is all one building, not five separate buldings as you have mapped it. See Bing Streetside: the roofs of the different sections are all at different heights, so building:part may be appropriate here.

Happy mapping,
Jez

Sorry, I meant Rupert.

Hi Robert, this is not Aldi. I can't remember off the top of my head what shops are here now, but Aldi built a brand new building (and substation) adjacent to this one.

Hi Joseph-97, are you sure this footpath has been removed? It is quite hard to see on Esri imagery, but if it has definitely gone how do you safely access the bus stop now?

Hi Bird Soup, this pharmacy is still open - just not a Lloyds branded one. I would imagine that many of the 174 (so far) pharmacies you have changed to disused:pharmacy are still open too under another name/brand. I suggest this should be discussed on the Talk-GB mailing list. osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct

Hi Murrumbidgee, this highway you have added no longer exists. If you you look at the more recent Esri World Imagery here you will see the junction has been altered.
Kind regards,
Jez

Hi DorneyLake123, I'd be surprised if none of these postboxes are morning collections (i.e. with a "D" suffix) - are these refs from an old survey?
Kind regards,
Jez

For reference, the other changesets are: 149482355, 149472650, 149472030, 149471076, 149469467. Do you have any evidence that pedestrians are banned on any of these roads?

149471456

Hi donq1986b, you have specified here (and five other changesets) that some sections of the A19 are prohibited for pedestrians but I have not seen any signage here - only the bicycle prohibition. Please could you state where the signs are?
Thanks,
Jez

Is this definitely a Royal Mail post box? All of the other features added near here by user "Blane Marchant" seem to be features of the care home, not publicly accessible services.
