Wow, what a lot of nice extra data! Goes to show there is always something new to add.

Please dont use landuse=industrial for oil fields! This is not what the tag is intended for. Only use this for discrete installations within the area (see the example I have mapped just outside Esperanza, Santa Cruz).

These woods along these river valleys do not exist. Yes there are patches of willows, and some willow scrub in places, but these are tiny. In populated places there will be rows of poplars to act as windbreaks. Otherwise this is Patagonia one of the famous treeless places in the world. Having recently travelled along these valleys I know how rare trees actually are. I will try and add some sequences on Mapillary.

Also the way is much too large, such that it is impractical to edit in some editors.

I note with some dismay that you retagged a node labelled waterway=waste_disposal to amenity=waste_disposal. These actually have different meanings. waterway=waste_disposal is a particular facility only available to key-holders on canals, and is quite separate from things usually tagged as amenity=waste_disposal. Global edits of things with which you are not familiar require a) at the very least consulting the original mapper to check that the meaning they intended is the same as your re-tagging and b) ensuring that any information contained in the tags is not lost.

I know this was a very long time ago, but we were wondering why you added numbers as names to a number of nodes between Fritchley and Crich? Any chance you can remember what they signify?

Yes they should. When they connect to roads then they can be used for routing on foot (something I use OSM for all the time).

If it's a public right of way its also good to add designation=* and then we have it documented. I presume Staffords Acre is a relatively new road.

I would also point out that even if the comment said "path is misaligned" your edits did more than this they changed the tagging in such a way that the quality of the data was degraded. In practice you turned entirely usable routeable data (highway=footway) into non-useful, only routeable with considerable post-processing data. The path mis-alignment had already been edited, perhaps by your informant, before your own edit. I checked it out and it seemed valid: you should have checked for recent edits.

This edit also seriously misinterprets the aerial imagery. The very name "Terrace" in this part of Britain suggests a street not accessible by cars. The N half of what is labelled Gladstone Street looks very like this: there is an obvious change in surface on aerial photos, and on the S half there is an obvious barrier, so this is clearly incorrectly mapped with highway=residential. The mapping prior to this edit reflected what is visible in aerial imagery much better.

It's a real shame that MapBox are keeping 'issues' private when making them available to local mappers is likely to result in a better map for all.

Yeah amazed that you thought to change this. This area was recently edited by at least 2 people with genuine local knowledge highway=path is not widely used locally in the UK because we find footway/track/bridleway/cycleway meet 95% of usecases better than path.

I get a 404 on the link given. This is inadequate documentation for this remote edit in an area which actually has a reasonable coverage by regular mappers.

Hi, have just been looking at all retail establishments in Australia from OSM and noticed "iloveistanbul". This looks like the sort of place I'd map as amenity=fast_food, cuisine=kebab, even if it has some seating. If its a proper restaurant doing kebabs, then amenity=restaurant, takeaway=yes might suit. As it is at the moment it wont get found in searches.

I must emphasise we take rights of way very seriously and would really welcome your contributions.

You can read about some of the work involving OSM and footpath mapping on my blog http://sk53-osm.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/footpaths or watch Dudley Ibbett talking mapping paths in the Peak District http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphkh/.

I have looked at this website & it really does not provide the information which you say, to quote " children of toddler age, babies, and mums-to-be, along with their carers, whether they be parents, grandparents, or other carers", so whilst the values you have added are logical, they aren't strictly speaking accurate.

I wondered why you altered the indian sweet shop on Ilkeston Road to a restaurant. It was not a restaurant when I surveyed this, and your edit does not look like one based on a re-survey. way/217789111

Excellent, no substitute for local knowledge.

I know that there's been a lot of changes with branding of convenience stores. Historically people didnt discriminate between the actual name of the shop & the branding, but we're trying to make all the shop data better.

28060491

Thanks for updating this. Is the shop still branded with Londis? In this case brand=Londis can be added as an additional tag.

A bar called Londra is found at this address, not at anything visibly called El Chaperio

My apologies I made a typo in transcribing the opening hours, now fixed in changeset/26524807

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. You may like to add some more tags to Clansman Harbour to make it easier to pick out as a harbour (e.g., in searches, or on specialist maps like OpenSeaMap, here showing Inverness http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=15&lat=57.4942&lon=-4.2338&layers=BFTTFFTFFTF0FFFFFFFF). See osm.wiki/Harbour#Mapping_a_harbour for some detailed suggestions. harbour=yes and/or leisure=marina may be suitable. HTH.

I've lightly edited your opening hours tag in this edit by changing it to opening_hours:description and adding a more machine readable version so that this can be picked up by things like OpenLinkMap (http://www.openlinkmap.org/?zoom=16&lat=52.12768&lon=-0.21308&layers=BFTTTTT)
