Hi Bearman Creative,

Croeso i OSM! I just want to point a couple of things out to you

Buildings, when possible, should be squared - you can do this by clicking the building and pressing Q on your keyboard.

Also, house names should go in the top part of the address field, not the "name" field.

If you have any questions let me know!

Cofion and happy mapping

Hi there,

Are you sure these names and spellings are still being used?

Take for instance 'Blaen-uaun' - 'uaun' isn't a spelling you'd see very often these days
way/1334523768
plus the OS OpenData/OpenMap layers show the more modern 'Blaenwaun'

OSM is for mapping modern day features as they are now - for things like this I would recommend OpenHistoricalMap where you can map with time.

I reverted this changeset for the reasons left in the comment above.

changeset/174096925

Hi mojfgigbbgfg,

Welcome to OSM, but what's going on here? made a B road a track, you changed an admin boundary into a site, and also turned a river into a track.

way/790187046
relation/11371664
way/1270049764

I appreciate this is your first edit and it's fine to make mistakes, but please be careful when editing. iD has a tutorial you can follow if you're not sure. I will revert this changeset.

Cofion,
Ceirios

Hi there,

Thanks for editing here! I just want to let you know for 'destination', Llantwit Major and Llanilltud Fawr are the same place. Llanilltud Fawr is the Welsh name

Hi R_Lewis,

Croeso i OSM - I do understand your frustration about people accessing (your?) land without permission. You did the right thing by adding the access=private tag, however it's still important that they are seen as driveways!

It takes time for data consumers (like satnavs) to receive OSM data, it's not instant.

Please see the Wiki for more information

Diolch

Hi there,

Yes I'm trying to map the latter here - the reason why I haven't made it a MP yet is that the boundaries are not completely clear from that first link. I agree that the boundaries need looking at. Thanks for the other two links.

As for the name, Port Talbot is a very English-speaking area and the current consensus is that the dominant language is in the name field. (I disagree with this personally but that is what it is).

Hi Mike, croeso i OSM!

I just want to let you know you don't need to fill out both the 'name' and the 'house name' address field for named houses

Only filling out the address field is fine in these cases!

Hey! I take it you saw this from Discord so I just want to say thank you very much :)

Hi there,

What's your source for this please? I live here and I've never heard it being referred to in English.

Hi Nullxiety, welcome to OSM

OpenStreetMap is for mapping real world features, not fictional creations. It’s a database with data consumers. There is no island here on imagery, and sandy beaches are hardly likely off the coast of Antarctica!

If you want to create your own fictional maps, I suggest checking out OpenGeoFiction

Helo, diolch!

Dwi ddim yn credu ein bod yn gallu defnyddio’r map yma gan Gyngor Gwynedd am ei fod yn defnyddio data hawlfreintiedig gan yr Arolwg Ordnans - mae’n rhaid i ddata fod yn gydnaws â thrwydded OpenStreetMap (sef yr ODbL). Mae data o dan Drwydded Llywodraeth Agored 3.0 (OGL 3.0) yn iawn er enghraifft.

Helo EryrEryri, diolch am olygu!

Oes ffynhonnell ar gyfer yr enwau Cymraeg plis? "Hawl Tramwy Cyhoeddus" yw "Public Right of Way" yn ôl y Llywodraeth:

Hi TansyR,

Could I please ask what streetlevel imagery you used as your source? The Bing Streetside in this area doesn't cover all of the streets and isn't very clear here.

Hi beza208,

Your comment says you added buildings, but it seems you've only added power poles here. Could you please ensure your changeset comments match what you're doing?

Diolch
Ceirios

I've reinstated the path way/1421997748

Feel free to edit it further if it's inaccurate

Hi Richard - thanks for letting me know (and for not reverting the whole thing), i'll see to it now

Thank you very much!

Hi Männedorf,

I’m going to second what Phil said above here - if there is no signed Welsh name on the ground (or given to you with permission to use), then there shouldn’t be one mapped.

Using a translation you’ve come up with yourself isn’t correct data - sometimes placenames and street names aren’t direct translations of each other.

Cofion,
Ceirios
