Yes = "highway=footway" vs "highway=path" is more than a bit confusing..
The thing that makes something a "piblic footpath" (as shown on Ordnance Survey) maps is the "designation" tag. It's possible to create a map that shows those - https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=14&lat=51.88457&lon=-3.40714 (that I made) is one such example.
On CRoW Act Access Land foot access is allowed by law but horse and bicycle isn't (although the landowner can choose to permit it) - see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/open-access-land-management-rights-and-responsibilities#what-people-can-do-on-your-land .
I tend to add an explicit "foot=yes" to paths across access land, to make it clear that it's more than just the permitted access that there might be in a country park.
I'd tend to use tags such as "surface" to distinguish between maintained and other paths.
I wrote a diary entry ages ago about this: @SomeoneElse/diary/391053 - that also links to things like the National Trust's suggested tags for their paths osm.wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/National_Trust_Paths#Proposed_Tagging_Schema , which in turn is pretty close to how people in England and Wales have tended to do things.
Any other questions, ask here, on the https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb mailing list, or #osm-gb on IRC osm.wiki/IRC .

Hello,
You claim to have used Bing Maps Aerial for way/1050381099 , but this building clearly isn't visible on that imagery.
What did you use as a source?
Best Regards,
Andy

Re "I warned him", how exactly did you do that.
Also - please try to reply with a simple factual answer that doesn't include any ad-hominem attacks on other OSM community members, whether they be DWG members or not.

Hello,
You've changed way/190020980 from being a path intended for use by people on foot to a path with no obvious intended mode.
Just checking - was that deliberate?
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks!

Re changeset/119400601 ,

It is not OK to revert another user's changeset if that was made in good faith, without any sort of discussion with that user.

Did you have any sort of discussion where they said it was OK for you to revert it?

Thanks for the extra links above - I'll go through them (and in particular the lat/long info) later.

> which information was lost ?

My mistake - I didnt spot the pre-existiing "natural=bare_rock" tag.

"large" is sometimes tricky; something like relation/13325281 is inherently large, so if you're editing it you're going to end up with a "geographically large" changeset.
Also use a helpful changeset comment though!

Just checking - should way/633304589 be part of relation/358939 ? changeset/119270675 suggests "One gap left where signs missing and route unclear.", which I guess is around way/4333186 , but the "bit of an extra" to the west looks odd: http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeMap?relationId=358939

I used https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1hsj as a source to trim a spur off too.

119327774

Thanks for fixing node/4401259541 , but where was the automatic edit in this changeset discussed?

119241586

Whilst the change of way/244898746/history from "Colonization Road" to "Reconciliation Road" is plausible (many similar roads have been renamed in Canada) no source was provided by PopeyePopcord for this change here. Can someone local provide it?

Apologies for the "globe-spanning" changeset. The edits reverted here were mostly in Winnipeg in Canada and Australia, with nothing much in between.
To email the DWG about it, use a subject line with "[Ticket#2022033110000019]" in it.
The mapper was repeatedly asked for source information but refused to disclose anything meaningful (see e.g. https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=15467027&commented - "Local Data").

Hello, what source did you use for this change? The source hasn't changed since the _old_ name.

119316534

Hello again.
What is the source of this data?

119225018

Please be more clear. At what URL did you read this information and under what licence was it made available to you.

119308368

When you say "local knowledge" do you mean that you have personally visited the shop?

119225018

Hello,
What do you mean by "local data"?
Where did you get it from
Best Regards,
Andy

What is your source for this - local survey, something else?
