181847437

Hello (ref osm.org/user_blocks/20251),
Please do explain what a revert is for an what objects are in error.
In this case a new user had added an unlikely motorway with their first edit changeset/181841493 . It did make sense to revert the data (no motorways in this part of Java) but it also makes sense to be a bit more friendly about what the problem was and add a bit more explanation here.

182057050

What was the source of the data here (ref osm.org/user_blocks/20251 )?

182161750

Hello,
Can you explain what the problem was here, what actual objects were in error? You have used JOSM's reverter plugin but not explained what needed reverting and why.

See also comment at https://en.osm.town/@SK53/115017119561900374 "Unlike virtually every other #OpenStreetMap feature it [separate sidewalk mapping] is not resilient when incomplete."

(somewhat related to changeset/182032968 ) you've added a separate sidewalk way/1506893728 to way/1214633815 but haven't tagged that road as "sidewalk=separate" or similar. That's necessary so that maps that actually show sidewalks can do so. You can see that at https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#15/53.1192/-4.1267 - there you can see that way/806805686 is shown with a wider casing because it is tagged as "sidewalk=both" (which should now be "sidewalk=separate") but is not, because it has no "sidewalk" tag.

I've filled in the gap; see relation/11114801#map=19/53.117194/-4.120413 . My recollection here is that you'd just "walk across the road" here, but it needs someone to Actually Go There to see where the signage points and adjust as necessary.

Ah - never mind. Someone will fill in the gap, I'm sure.

182032968

Usually the positioning of the signs would tell you where the path should go?

Hello,
This changeset seems to have introduced a New York subway station in the National Botanic Gardens: node/13763185198/history#map=19/53.373009/-6.273694 - connected by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tunnel_(1935_film) , perhaps :)

Hello,
It looks like your edits in Llanberis have broken the Snowdonia Slate Trail. You can see the gap here: relation/11114801#map=19/53.117194/-4.120413 .
My recollection of this bit of Llanberis (from a while ago) is that there are fairly wide walkable areas. Where does the signage of the "Snowdonia Slate Trail" direct people?
Best Regards,
Andy

Ah - just spotted the EV1 here. I guess that that is correct for the NCN9 also?

182023810

Hello,
The route of NCN9 looks a bit confused here (and has done for a while): relation/1399870#map=15/54.42631/-6.43496 . Do you happen to know where it actually goes?
Best Regards,
Andy

180782693

Purely accidental I'm sure - I have reverted it in changeset/182040260 .

169884727

Actually - just noticed wikipedia: https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ste%C3%B2rnabhagh - is "Stornoway" OK here?

169884727

I never new that the Welsh name for Stornoway was the same as the English - I'd have expected something much closer to the Scots Gaelic one!

Hi Will,
The new bit I added way/1503887691 isn't a road, it's just a "relation member" of those townlands and anglican parishes. You can see the faint line at osm.org/#map=19/53.585524/-7.135129 , but that map doesn't show many names at that zoom level.
Many maps do update pretty much immediately the OSM data updates, although sometimes there's some caching involved - it wouldn't surprise me if it took a day or so. Eventually Hiskinstown and Williamstown (Rochford) will appear in the same way that Mulchanstown does at osm.org/#map=18/53.586003/-7.136881 .
As for Google Maps - no, we can't use that, due to various licence compatibility issues. See e.g. osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don't_you_just_use_Google_Maps/whoever_for_your_data? .
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Thanks for updating this. There were a couple of townlands and a couple of parishes that shared the line of the previous road, so I've added in a new line way/1503887691/history and added them to that to fill in the gap.
Unfortunately these "relationship memberships" aren't really clear in the online editor...
Best Regards,
Andy

Actually, rather than individual changeset discussions, the forum (perhaps https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/dear-adt-team-for-sarawak-please-do-better/143234 ) might be a better place.

Hello,
Due to some other issues, the changeset that you were fixing was reverted here - see https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/please-review-added-the-british-overseas-territories-to-the-uk-and-uk-eez-relations/143296/5 .
Can you recheck that whatever you were checking is now still OK?
Best Regards,
Andy
