Changeset When Comment
40649829

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Has the name of the bus stops here such as node/502505060 really changed their name to "Bus Stop"? It seems a very unlikely name to me.
I'd expect that the name would still be "Railway Station" because that's the location of the bus stop.
Please do be aware that any edits that you make through MAPS.ME are visible by everyone, not just you.
Best Regards,
Andy

It's not about tagging for one renderer - it's about having the common courtesy to explain why you think something is wrong rather than just changing it.
Just like the difference between "football" and "soccer" I can't get excited about the actual tagging difference in this case - but changes need to be made in the open, so that people can see and understand what's happening - mainly so that if "incorrect" values are being used people can actually see why their previous tagging was "incorrect". Also, it's worth mentioning that comments that overuse exclamation and question marks may not be the most helpful at getting your message across...
In this particular case I've no idea whether OsmAnd renders different sport shops differently (if it does, from looking at https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/rendering_styles/default.render.xml it's probably not deliberate).
Speaking as someone who has tried to classify POIs for rendering (see https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua ) - though not in any detail for sports - I can say that the wiki is of little use when it comes to working out "what mappers actually meant". Taginfo and browser language presets are far more useful.

JOSM's, and the wiki's, recommendations aren't foolproof. In this case you changed data that potentially affects display in a downstream website (osm-nottingham).
By all means try and persuade the person the who added these shops that they're wrong, but basic common courtesy would suggest that you ought to tell them of the change before you make it.

Hi,
I'm guessing that perhaps way/423878439 and the other "Bing marker" was left behind by accident after you'd aligned the imagery?
Hope you don't mind me mentioning this - I happened to notice it while looking for something else!
Best Regards,

Hello Marcussacapuces91,
This is a changeset with a huge area and "Corrections diverses" doesn't really describe what the changes were that you made. It would really help other mappers if you could use smaller changesets and more descriptive comments - that way it wouldn't be in everyone's history feed,
Best Regards,
Andy
Bonjour Marcussacapuces91,
Ceci est un changeset avec un espace immense et "Corrections diverses" ne décrivent pas vraiment ce que les changements ont été que vous avez fait. Il serait vraiment aider d'autres cartographes si vous pouviez utiliser de plus petits changesets et commentaires descriptifs - de cette façon il ne serait pas dans le flux de l'histoire de tout le monde,
Meilleures salutations,
Andy

This has already been reverted by a local mapper, but in future please don't make mechanical edits like this without prior discussion.

The Railway Gazette article is from 2010 and only talks about north of Harlech, but presumably things have moved on since then.
Re licences, the Flickr photo is cc-by-sa so that isn't licence compatible, and is anyway only one sign of many, but presumably it's the licence for the sectional appendix that's needed.

All rail signage in the UK that I've seen (mostly English Midlands) has been signed in mph, whether it's the round signs for drivers or the trackside safety signage (I used that as the source of the maxspeed on way/14838061/history in changeset/35319635 ).
In OSM we map what's on the ground in order to make life easier for mappers - any map using maxspeed data can easily convert mph to km/h.

Where's the licence associated with that data? At http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/1344.aspx I just see "Unless otherwise stated, we are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights (designs, logos, etc) in our site, and in the material published on it. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved." which doesn't sound very open at all.

Also http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/12275.aspx doesn't suggest that ECTS is in use at all in the UK currently, let alone in rural mid-Wales. Can you point to the location of a "blue sign with arrows" on this length of track?

Also, what is the licence associated with the "Sectional Appendix" that you refer to here?

Are you sure that there's really a pub here called "Caven club" here? The Cavern tourist attraction is already marked, and it's not really a pub, is it?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've added "酒吧" ("bar") to the end of the name of the Brass Monkey in Northbridge, Perth. There's no need to do this, as the Brass Monkey doesn't have that as part of the name, and is already labelled in OpenStreetMap as a "pub".
Please also don't add "dry cleaning shops" where there are wineries. If the feature that you want to add isn't on MAPS.ME's menus then you can add a note to OSM - perhaps use http://onosm.org/ ?
By the way, as well as the bars on Northbridge I'd also suggest that you try those on Murray Street. The Belgian Beer Cafe has a huge variety (but is quite expensive).
Best Regards,
Andy

Runis, using "Lithuanian translation rules for each language" is something that can easily be done with data downloaded from OSM. It doesn't need to be stored within the OSM database. Adding transliterated names to villages that have probably never seen a Lithuanian person detracts from the useful names on a map - places which people really do refer to by a Lithuanian name.

Do you need to put the other 4 or so stop positions in as well (and of course a similar number southbound on platform 2, and also on platform 3 - which may be marked with both north and southbound stop positions, I'm not sure)?

There are a couple of options. There's a mailing list for Canada over at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca - you could introduce yourself there.
Another option is the #osm channel on IRC - see osm.wiki/IRC for more details on that.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
However, please don't add things to OpenStreetMap with tags that are incorrect.
Here, you've added Borough Market as a department store. Borough Market is many things, but a department store is not one of them.
It's actually already mapped as a marketplace:

D'oh - thanks for fixing!
