It's not really a tourist attraction as such, though is it, and it probably doesn't have the name "Sand Dunes" - that's just a description of what it is?

Is node/4360697891 really an "amenity=fuel"? If so, what's the significance of "1826 gate combi" on note/682140 ?

Please don't add test data to OSM, even in the middle of the Atlantic.
If you want a test server you can use http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org .

Please don't add test data to OSM. Although you have deleted some of it you'd left at least node/4361937760/history at latitude 0, longitude 0.

Please don't add test data to OSM, either in the middle of the Atlantic or "buildings" that clearly overlap with others such as way/438963839 .

Re using Inuktitut rather than English - I'd definitely discuss it on talk-ca. A number of countries have decided to use a "non-local" name in the name tag to avoid confusion or conflict (India's an example, as PlaneMad has said to you on another changeset discussion).

It's the same issue though - you're choosing to shove together two different languages into one name field. The earlier changeset discussion comment says " The name=* tag should only have one name in it.".

Which part of pnorman's comments on changeset/40333070 did you not understand?
It's is difficult to see how he could have expressed himself more clearly.

Did you discuss the naming change for node/96223684/history on the talk-ca list like you were asked to last time you made these sorts of changes?

The "Nottingham" node has been moved back to slab square (between the lions), so some online routers (e.g. the ones at osm.org) do struggle with it. My Garmin works fine though :)
I'd suggest logging a bug with whatever online users you were trying to use to route here that failed. The current position is pretty much "correct" for any reasonable definition of the centre of Nottingham.

This is a huge changeset. Can you explain what you changed and where? I also wouldn't rely on OS 1:25k unless you align it to GPS traces, as it suffers badly from map offsets.

Some of the changes here suggest that this is purely a mechanical change and you've not even looked at any aerial imagery, never mind actually properly surveyed them. For example, way/132386893 surely should join the stream somehow, way/271440142/history needs the tags reviewing, and way/200205798/history#map=19/52.22728/1.17327 surely needs surveying to see how things join up and whether "unclassified" or some sort of paved track is best for the road.

Oops - one of the car park nodes here got dragged into the middle of the roundabout by accident. I've moved it back.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap - and thanks for adding all these opening hours!
However here I suspect you don't mean "08:00" as the closing time - do you mean "20:00" instead?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've added a hotel here, but it seems to be a duplicate of node/523854772 ?
Best Regards,

@EzekielT As has been said many times before in OSM, "languages are complicated". I suggest that you respectfully follow PlaneMad's advice here if you believe that something is wrong.

Converting from diacriticals to ASCII sounds like something that's easily programmable. If the name with diacriticals is in another name tag then it wouldn't even need that - the approach described in @SomeoneElse/diary/38613 would work as is.
Generally the "name" stored in the OSM name tag is the "name on the ground", and it's up to data consumers to interpret that if it's got characters in it that they don't understand.

The fact that someone changes something in the wiki does NOT give you carte blanche to apply that change worldwide. There are a couple of reasons for this; one is that we want to give data consumers some warning of impending changes and the other is that if you do what is essentially a mechanical edit (you've said yourself 'I have to trust the peer that entered this data and if he/she categorized it as a "village"') you'll get edge cases wrong. If the only thing you're looking at is the previous tag then you _are_ just doing a mechanical edit and should be following osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct . That doesn't mean that the edit won't happen - recently in the UK someone changed bridge_name to bridge:name, but discussed it beforehand and there was no real objection.

Are you _sure_ that Ravenspark Hospital (as mentioned in osm.org/user_blocks/1001 ) is really best described as an abandoned village? When do you think it ever was a village?

Thanks.
