Full house! Thank you :)

Thanks for adding Dunmore Head. Think you also added Brow Head?
Malin Head is in the map too.
If you know better than me where to put Burr Point on the east coast, that would be great :-)

Oh interesting, thanks. Looking more closely at the tags I see it’s not yet a refugee site. But if the masjid was for Saudi armed forces it’s all the more likely to be Sunni, I would think? If it makes sense to tag with a denomination at all in this case

Hi,

Interested that this is tagged as a Shia mosque while most Muslim refugees in the UK are Sunni.

Do you know if it's specially provided for Shia refugees, or is it open access to anyone on the site?

Thanks,

Hi

I was just wondering if you remember why you tagged the footpath under Sounding Bridge as “former cycleway”?

It’s still marked on OS maps as a traffic free route, and signs at the bridge itself have “cyclists dismount “ - so arguably still a cycle way? (I just about managed without dismounting fwiw!)

But if there’s been some official change then that makes sense

If you can remember from 7 years ago…

Happy mapping

Hi, Thanks for tagging the building.

Is it actually called "Industrial", or did you mean that as a description?

Thanks,

I see this very question has been hashed over on the listserv. Here's Rob vindicating my position ;-)

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2022-January/028432.html

156928252

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, talk-gb is an email list - see here for some discussions on this topic:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Flists.openstreetmap.org%2Fpipermail%2Ftalk-gb%2F+%22post+town%22&t=osx

(More heat than light in some cases!)

Happy to accept that addr:city is for the post town.

Checking Rob's pages here
https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/addr-tags.html
it seems plenty of UK addresses (in OSM) also make use of addr:village. That might be better in these cases than suburb? Refreshing my memory with a quick scan of the discussions above, the village will never (or only very rarely) form part of the 'official' Royal Mail address - so it's a physical, ground-truth element, rather than referring to the RM gazetteer (which I think gets called PAF?), so I'd argue that calling it a village rather than a suburb has informational value.

156928252

Is addr:city reserved for the RM post town, then? I seem to remember a long discussion in the Talk-GB list saying otherwise.

In any case, Castor as “suburb” of Peterborough seems not quite right to me: it looks, feels, and considered itself to be be separate village - and it’s a “parished area” administratively

I do, where can I post it?

re way/122747657
Was this one you GPXd on your trip out to Haddon? The circuit of the field along N and then E boundaries isn't consistent with the fingerpost (nor OS map) and when I walked it neither the OSM b'way nor the OS b'way was evident on the ground.

I'm wondering whether to replace the two-sides-of-a-square route with the designated bridleway that I actually walked. Any further info? I can't see your trace on the map, but I'm inexpert (and maybe you didn't upload it, and maybe you only walked the fp marked TBC?)

152517283

Ta, have retagged

152517283

Hi Robert,

Just checking: are you sure this path should be tagged as designated for cyclists?

way/1291147039

I've had a brief look and I feel I'd dismount to get to the hotel entrance.

But if you know it is, fine.

Cheers,

Hi, you can ignore this: I've found how to go back to the reverted changeset, and I can understand why there was a problem. Thanks. eteb3

147332194

Hi, can I ask why you removed the religious landuse here? Does the place not exist at all, or did you think it was better not added as landuse? Thanks. eteb3

127590296

Oh yes, NLS! I remember seeing them mentioned on the GB list.

Thank you.

Hi Minh Nguyen

I'm on a bit of a foray to discover how people are using the place_of_worship=musalla tag.

It seems you added one here: node/8262966505

Do you remember why you chose to call the place =musalla rather than =mosque?

My wiki discussion is here:
osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:place_of_worship%3Dmusalla

A collection of use cases here:
osm.wiki/User:Eteb3/ideas#Mosque_vs_musalla_(2024-08-05)

Thoughts welcome! Thanks,

Thanks for all your replies on other changesets.

One more on this one: we have a conflict between the elevation given for the trig point (558) versus the peak (550). Do you know how to settle it? Is there an open source we can use?

PS usernames for the wiki must start with a capital letter, if I recall correctly. So I'm Eteb3 there.
