Hello MKBE_2,

"until 25/7/24" is basically "until tomorrow. It really isn't work making edits to "close" roads in OSM for a day. The cadence with which people consume OSM data varies greatly. Some renderers update every minute or so; routers generally take a few days and other consumers are often weekly or monthly, or even longer. If something is being closed for a few months because (say) a new rail line is being built then an update to OSM makes sense. If it's for less than 24 hours it does not.

Over at osm.org/user_blocks/16486 I did suggest that you say hello at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/new-edits-by-busmiles-affiliated-people-in-the-uk/116376/1 to explain about the edits that you're doing, and discuss the best way to record the data that you want to record. Please do that.

I'll revert this changeset because I know that a data extract that will occur tonight http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/great-britain.html will be used to create downloadable garmin maps tomorrow https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/mkgmap.html , and those will be wrong because this road closure will be over by then.

Best Regards,

Andy

Yes - got the other note.
I'll probably kick off a discussion in the forum about it.

Thanks for mapping the wall and fence here!

I've filled the gaps in in changeset/154035693 and changeset/154035732 .

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Please use more meaningful changeset comments than just "." - that does not explain to other mappers what you were doing.

The discussion of this was at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/black-park-north-of-slough-whats-the-best-tag/114959 . I'd suggest that you join the discussion there.

You've said "re-add vaguer protected area boundary" - can you explain what boundary you "re-added"? The tagging changes can be seen at https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/1270661319 . Are you sure that a local authority country park really meets the criteria set out at protect%20class=2?uselang=en-GB ?

Actually most of this was the Knaresborough section of the Harrogate Ringway

This covers one side of Harlow Carr, but the other side still needs nudging to match a survey on 28/06

Thanks

Clearly everything of value is mapped in Europe so we can get on with merging synonyms (which everyone surely consumes now, and will continue to consume, in perpetuity)
:)

Hello "cybermapper" please do use meaningful changeset comments. "update" doesn't really help anyone understand what you are doing.

Oops - looks like this track was part of the AONB relation relation/9471593 . I've filled in the gap by extending way/706206502 from the south (which isn't anything else).

Oops - there's now a gap in http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeMap?relationId=8271587 :)

Great stuff - thanks!

As noted in @c%20tito%20young/diary/404518#comment57540 , the "shapes" here seem to be entirely fictional. Perhaps some other project may be a better outlet for this drawing (uMap, maybe)?

Bună, coro85 și bun venit la OpenStreetMap!
Ar fi foarte util dacă ați folosi mai multe cuvinte pentru a vă descrie modificările, mai degrabă decât doar „corecție”. I-ar ajuta pe alți cartografi să înțeleagă ce schimbări faceți.
Salutări,
Andy

Hello coro85, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
It'd be really helpful if you used more words to describe your changes, rather than just "correction". It would help other mappers understand what changes you are making.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello idkwhatname2use,
What licence were the "usgs maps" you used here released under. The date will be important here - see https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/are-usgs-topographic-maps-copyrighted .
Whether these features can legally be in OSM is of course a separate issue to whether they should be in OSM or somewhere else - but we need to understand the answer to the legal question.
