Hey MapCam,

Be careful when mapping objects obscured on aerial imagery.
Where available, you can use streetlevel imagery, though be aware it may be outdated.
('Edit' => right sidebar => Data Layers => i.e. Bing Streetside); solely for your information, proprietary (copyright) sources such as Google Maps etc. can not be used for this.
osm.wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility

It is best not to map these if not sufficiently visible.
osm.wiki/Verifiability

Instead, add a 'fixme' tag to request other mappers to survey the location.
fixme=*

If you need any help, feel free to contact the local community at
https://openstreetmap.community/?map=-33.87118,151.20198&zoom=8.36

Removed the unverifiable footway segment in

Ref note/4518858

'Standing stone put there with a crane' does not magically create (religious) anything for OpenStreetMap.
Religious landuse is reserved for points of interest (POI) providing i.e. religious services, offices(and if included with these, shops) to their users.
Places of worship are reserved for those which are/were used for religious practices by their users.
Neither, nor as such most objects, are intended for those used solely by a private individual, or inaccesible property without such proper reason to map them.

(and links on each page)

The enclosed wooded area seems okay. It can at least kind of be seen to exist from sources contributors are allowed to use from the editor application (see 'Edit'); solely for your information, proprietary (copyright) sources such as Google Maps etc. can not be used for this.
The name should be the signed name, not description, see
osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions
(you already used description, which is good.);
though, some of the below recommendations apply here as well
man_made=nesting_site#Recommendations_and_Guidelines_of_Usage

I have removed the unverifiable standing stone and religious landuse. Resolved in

Hey green_leek,

Objects which represent a single group should be mapped as a single object if sufficiently close together.
See this page for more information
osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

(Some objects like charging points can be mapped individually, but usually have their own tag)

If there is a small gap, you can add a note tag saying there is one, but this is just so that other mappers do not add duplicates from aerial imagery.

These are foundations of demolished buildings, not ones for new to be constructed buildings.
Resolved in
changeset/165144571
Marked them as demolished and the area as brownfield.

There seems to be no physical signage for such a route at this location
https://api.panoramax.xyz/#pic=cb6b6972-9f29-4845-8b4a-2a242102a435&focus=pic

only for the cycleway itself, which is already mapped as a way. See

Thanks. Yes, that makes sense.

Hey PluMGMK,

Are you sure it is this pole?

It looks like you meant this one.

Is it explicitly signed as "Bell Tower"? It seems like descriptive name. It is already correctly tagged as
tower:type=bell_tower
I would suggest removing name tag.

Are these low walls or full-height walls (up to ceiling)?
For full-height wall there is indoor=wall.
indoor=wall
(ignore image on the right, this is wood frame inside certain walls)

changeset comment should be
"changed playground seesaw node to line".

Hey Brian,

Some objects seem to be duplicated.

Ex.
relation/13285410/history
looks like a duplicate of
relation/13281077/history
(taken from edit view at this point);
node/9137759200

Hey Learscail,

I would not recommend adding historical objects during your first edits, but you are welcome to do so.

Unfortunately, we can not use the SMR as sole source for adding objects. The SMR and layers available on the Historic Environment Viewer (HEV) are a proprietary/copyright source and OpenStreetMap does not have permission to use them.

In order to add these objects, you will need another source to verify they exist.

We have permission to use the following layers

- Layers available in OSM editors such as the one you are using.
(which I commented on earlier)

- NLS historic maps
https://maps.nls.uk/os/#ireland

- Esri World Imagery Wayback
(of which most current and oldest are available in the editor)
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback/#active=60013&mapCenter=-7.16811%2C52.61855%2C15

You can go outdoors and survey one to see if it is physically present, but most won't be visible (have been plough-levelled).
You can then add a source "survey" when saving your changes.

If you know or someone else knows about their existence you can add them with source "local knowledge of (myself, resident, employee, etc)" on saving your changes.

If there is a centuries old map/book in the library ('out of copyright') you can add the source as
"Book X, chapter Y, author Z"
(though this is preferably left to advanced contributors)

If you can't verify them in one of these ways, they are unverifiable and can't be added to OpenStreetMap.

KK024-011 is larger than mapped but the outermost ditch is only partially visible on aerial imagery.
It might not be quite circular.

For the enclosures in the meadows
KK024-159 might be visible on regular Esri but is deemed uncertain in SMR.
KK024-013001 is faintly visible.
KK024-013002 is clearly visible.
The enclosures in the meadows seem to be visible on regular Esri,

Hey Learscail,

I have realigned these trees to the proper aerial imagery layer for you.
If anything looks odd, that is because the map has not fully updated for you yet.
Try refreshing your cache with
(Ctrl +)(Shift +)F5
depending on your browser.
It may take some time and a few refreshes before the map updates.

Hey Learscail,

Try using the proper aerial imagery layer for the Kilkenny city area.
Don't worry, it is a common mistake.
