Hi. I personally think this is superfluous, given its location. Also it doesn't seem consistent with the local use, nor with how the node is named in most other cities I have seen.

Hi. Would the 'informal' tag work here? informal=*
Having this kind of footpaths mapped could be useful for routing purposes.

Hi. Welcome and thank you for your mapping contributions.
Some of the names tagged here for sport pitches, etc., seem too generic. Unless those are the actual proper names used locally in Wolfson, they are best avoided since the information is already contained in their identifying tags.

Hi – 'farmland' is normally used for arable fields with crops; 'meadow' for hay meadows and pasture, which seems more appropriate here.

As far as I know, the name has been historically used for this location, for the fields and the associated part of the river -- the etymology should be that of a "middle island" (with an ending common to Binsey, Osney, Hinksey, -- or perhaps alternatively of a clearing/pasture, like in Iffley, Cowley, etc.?). Compared to those other toponyms, Medley is less commonly known or used today, because it lacks a proper settlement beyond what was its manor and is now the farm.
It might be considered slightly historical or obsolete, but today you can still see it used to name other local features like the footbridge, the sailing club, even chosen for the new beer-garden, and it is still commonly used by (at least some) people. (Maybe a few more others will from now on?).

I don't have a proper reference at the moment, but this is one indicative example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medley_Footbridge. An internet search will show others.

I will edit it back, thanks!

All the best.

Hello. I think it is worth keeping 'Medley' as the toponym. It is the proper name of this place. The name of the manor farm, which derives from it, is already applied to the farmyard area object instead.

Great, I wasn't actually sure. Thanks for double checking!

Hi. Just to double check: do you know this based on local knowledge or a survey in the college? The aerial photos are out of date. I thought the car park was turned into a tennis court and not vice versa (unless it's been changed again in the last few months).

Hi. Is this accurate? I believe you have restored the old status of the area: that building has been demolished and the shops closed. The construction area you updated is what is on the ground, still not finished as far as I know, and part of Jesus College. Please give more information or the changeset needs to be reverted I think.

As an outdoor-only space serving drinks, the "biergarten" tag (often misused) seems appropriate here. But feel free to comment or edit if bar or pub is a better description.

Hi, There is a bus stop in this changeset which doesn't look right in the middle of that field. Do you have more information on it or can it be deleted? Thanks.

Apologies, I didn't explain myself properly. I didn't mean it should be tagged as a restaurant, but the opposite (college halls are not restaurants, common rooms are not café). Honestly, I wouldn't tag it as an amenity at all. At a stretch, it could be a club (club=*). Otherwise, probably better, it is just a room (indoor=room).

I think both JCR and what they call GCR (graduate) are in the same staircase, on different floors.

All the best.

Hi. I don't think tagging a college common room as a café is a good idea. It is not accurate and it can be misleading for the general users (especially in a place open to tourists). It would be like tagging a dining hall as a restaurant.

Eastwyke (Typo in the changeset description only)

The names might be a bit too niche in their purely local interest. If anybody has thoughts on whether they should be tagged at all, please let me know.

Thanks, that's helpful. Outdoor seating with sand surface makes perfect sense.

I also make a note that it might be a rather academic question (at least for this case -- it probably comes up in other cities), since I am not sure this beach project should still be on the map, but since it is a seasonal thing, it can only be verified in the summer.

Thanks. It's some old tagging. Do you have a suggestion for how best to tag an artificial urban beach (_not_ a playground sandpit)? natural=sand seems widely used for sand cover in man-made situations. For the "beach" part, maybe something in the "leisure" realm would be a better description?

Yeah, that map just includes all nature parks. I also checked that Barracks Lane was already existing with that name when this parcel of land was still part of the larger playing fields. I believe "Barracks Lane Meadow" is the more accurate name. If you think "Barracks Meadow" is also used by people locally (and not just you), we can include it as an "alt_name" tag.
I think the changeset can be reversed, but it's easier to just edit it again.
