Hi Andy,

Thanks for this! My guess this was probably glued onto something and I must’ve connected it by mistake - certainly not my tagging!

I’ll have a look when I finish work

Please don't blindly copy from Wikipedia.

The Welsh Wikipedia is absolutely terrible with placenames and has their own unofficial style that is not used by any non-Wiki user.

Thankfully the name:cy tags you added don't need to be changed, but please don't copy from Wikipedia.

Haia, diolch am gyfrannu!

Os ydy hwn yn enw tŷ, plis rhowch yr enw yn y maes "addr:housename" yn hytrach na'r maes "name"

Helo GafrPiws

Thanks for contributing/diolch am gyfrannu!

House names should go in the addr:housename fields in the addresses section, rather than the "name" field at the top

Thank you for this, I didn't know I was tagging it wrong all this time!

Hi there, you seem to have removed the relation entirely - the lines are blank with no data

Hi there,

Thanks for contributing, but may I ask why this is necessary? Do you have a link to a discussion regarding these tags?

Rugby Union is the main code played in Wales of which there are only 2 codes. It makes no sense to create minor tags for rugby=*.

Hi there,

I'm not quite sure where the "boundaries that belong to multiple relations" are coming from here. Coed Wenallt was a multipolygon made of closed ways as it's one named forest split by the road.

Gluing areas/closed ways together is the preferred way to map here - could you share the wiki page you're reading perhaps?

Hi Steven,

Can you please use closed ways when adding landuse, instead of the multipolygon method?

The multipolygon method makes things really difficult for people on other editors.

Hi CalJones93,

Thanks for contributing! The white and orange striped lines (white and grey on the map) are a road under construction, and you drew a new road on top of this instead of changing it to the residential road.

I'm not quite sure you're aware of what you're doing here, so I suggest going through the Walkthrough (maybe a box came up on your screen when you started editing?) - you can find it by pressing H on your keyboard when you're in the editor.

Helo tumbledust!

Thank you for adding buildings here - I just want to give you a pointer, apologies if this comment is a little bit long!

On the right of your editing screen, there should be a button with 3 squares on it (or press B on your keyboard) and this will bring up a bunch of imagery options and overlays that you can use!

In that settings window (you may need to scroll down a bit) there is something called "OSMUK Cadastral Parcels" - this shows each property boundary, and will enable you to split up semi detached houses and terraces, like here way/1464860645/history

Croeso GafrPiws!

This looks great, but don't forget to press Q after drawing a building to make it square :)

coteyka, it's *impossible* to edit the USA relation (relation/148838) without making a world spanning changeset box.

it's on well over 1000 versions right now with other multilingual tagging edits happening recently (changeset/176458385) so i'm pretty sure you've already seen something similar to this.

it really doesn't take much time or effort to scroll down and see what someone has changed, especially if you use something like "better osm.org" that highlights the changes for you.
less time than it takes to write a comment moaning about the size of a big box.👍

this is going to be my only comment on this changeset, i'm not entertaining things like this.

diolch,

Hi there, are you sure these are all heaths?

A lot of upland areas were wrongly tagged as "heath" when in fact they are more grassland.

175416212

I think this is fine, if not better than what was there before. In a place like London it certainly helps to see the house number.

And if these building names arent in the address, then how is correspondence sent and received? It's got to be in there somewhere!

Hi,

I'd also like to ask about a source for the same node Mateusz mentioned above, as I can't find anything related to it on the web.

Hello Bobolo Hilliary!
Welcome to OpenStreetMap :)

I just want to give you a few words of advice
- You don't need to name the buildings with what they are, because this can be shown through the other tags.
- You can show if buildings are permanent or semi-permanent through the "building:material=*" tag, for example "building:material=wood"
- Don't worry, you can see the edit history of each house by right clicking the house, clicking 'Query features', finding the house on the left, then clicking 'History' at the bottom
- You can press Q on your keyboard to make buildings square shaped

I've gone ahead and added some tags for you as well, but I recommend looking at the Wiki for more information: osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Happy mapping!

Alright, just remember your account is your responsibility!

Hi Jonny,

Why have you removed 'Derry' from the names here? The slash naming here is intentional and really shouldn't be changed without consulting the community.

Hi there,

I just want to ask you to be careful copying names in from Wikipedia, particularly regarding name:cy.

The Welsh Wikipedia uses their own style for place names, which is unofficial and not to be used. Any occurences of "Feneswela" may have stemmed from this. The official name for Venezuela in Welsh is Venezuela.

This is the source to use, it's from the Welsh Government and it is compatible with OSM licence:
