Hello,
Is node/4978125922 really a tourist information place or is it a taxi office?

Welcome to Nottingham! If you're around on Tuesday, you might like to know that osm.wiki/Nottingham/Pub_Meetup is happening at way/116810775 .

Hello,
Any idea how a node near the south pole node/4946117229 got added here?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
I've changed this back because some of the changes appeared to have been made by mistake, including renaming a shopping centre to Vodafone.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Is node/4965493629 really a viewpoint in the middle of the street? It seems an odd location.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hi Rowland,
You're still creating changesets without comments. Please stop doing this immediately. If you do you'll get blocked again. See link to previous discussion at osm.org/user_blocks/1415 .

My personal experience of the various bits of OS OpenData (trees, water, buildings) is that "trees" were basically rubbish (there are probably some trees in the area, but you can get a much better idea of exactly where from Bing+survey), "water" was pretty good, if a few years out of date (which often isn't a problem) and contained some "cartographic effects" e.g. near roads, and "buildings" was a very very rough approximation indeed. I'd be keen to see a diff layer such as https://a.os.openstreetmap.org/layer/gb_os_sv_diff_2015_11_2016_04/9/254/166.png is part of TBH. That's one of Firefishy's OS OpenData layers; as far as I'm aware no-one's done anything similar with OS OpenMap Local.

Ciao carlo fornaciari,
OSM è un progetto collaborativo - dobbiamo lavorare insieme per creare la migliore mappa. Una parte di ciò significa che l'invio di abusi ad altri utenti, sia in privato che in commenti di changeet come questo, non sarà tollerato.
Si prega di trattare con rispetto altri membri della comunità. Se non riesci ad eseguire questa operazione, potrebbe essere impedito di aggiornare OpenStreetMap.
I migliori saluti,
Andy Townsend, a nome del gruppo di lavoro dei dati OSM.

Hello carlo fornaciari,
OSM is a collaborative project - we have to work together to create the best map. Part of this means that sending abuse to other users, either privately or in changeset comments such as this one, will not be tolerated.
Please treat other community members with respect. If you fail to do this you may be prevented from updating OpenStreetMap.

I suspect that way/507316742 is mistagged. It's tagged as a hospital, but the name suggests it's a nursing home. Have a look in https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/ for things like "nursing home" "care home" and "healthcare" and "social" (and have a look in the wiki too).

50287689

Thanks for removing one of the duplicates way/66437278 , but would it be possible to answer the other questions too?
Also - you're still not using changeset comments, and other mappers (unprompted by me) are complaining: changeset/50232241 .
OSM is a collaborative project - we need to work together to create the best map. Ignoring what other people say and not answering their questions doesn't help us all to do that.
Please do answer the questions that people have asked - both mine here and the others visible at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=74897 . If you fail to do so and fail to start using meaningful descriptive changeset comments you may be blocked from editing OpenStreetMap.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

A quick web search of "Britisch Isles Airfield Guide" "pdf" "2013" finds a few candidates, such as http://www.laasdata.com/uploads/The-LAAS-British-Isles-Airfield-Guide.pdf . Is it perhaps one of those?
In the absense of any other information we probably can't assume that the licence is suitable for use in OSM. Many "gathered off the web" things will have depended at some stage on Google geocoding.
In this case the position of the woodland makes the position as marked hard to believe - a takeoff or landing into the prevailing westerly wind would likely end up wrapped around a tree.

For an example of what I'm talking about, see the fix-up in changeset/50384009 .

50384009

The changes here were to:
o Remove fences that had been added purely by guesswork.
o Joining component ways of the car park into one amenity=parking way and remove unnecessary multipolygon relation.
o Redraw the residential landuse so that it uses the nodes of adjacent features that form the landuse boundary and doesn't just go vaguely near them (see the car park across the road as an example of the problem where no attempt to tie features together has been made).

Are you sure that way/508037415 is actually a driveway? It doesn't look like one from the imagery.

50187902

Any reason that you've created relation/7387261 as a multipolygon, when it's just a simple car park area? Please don't make the data in OSM more complicated than it needs to be (in particular, don't make it more complicated than it actually is on the ground). Creating individual relations here creates "write-only data". No-one will be able to edit it. As I've mentioned in previous changeset comments there are a lot of places where you've got things just plain wrong from imagery so it's important that people are able to efficiently edit the objects that you're adding.
Also, please be a little more conservative with some of your guesses when mapping using imagery only. If in doubt, please ask people locally about things that you're unsure about (or map somewhere that you are more familar with. For example, way/506570315 is much more likely to be a wall rather than a fence, because it's in the middle of Kirkby. I know that because I've been to Kirkby - if you don't, maybe ask rather than guess? In this example my recollection and the Bing imagery also suggest wall rather than fence too.
Best Regards,
Andy

50237302

I'm guessing, because the document doesn't say, but that looks like a hackpad used within the OSM TW community only.

50359954

Oops - this seems to have added a node at latitude 0, longitude 0.

50229999

The "water-based hockey pitch university" has been fixed, but there is still a "national throws centre university" at way/58404006 .

@jan_olieslagers what's the licence associated with the PDF and where did the information in it come from?
