Changeset When Comment

The name of Mill Burn is the only name in current common usage. Your source is bogus as it's an old reference, not a guide to current names.
It's been known as Mill Burn since at least 1892.
Stop trying to make everything Gaelic, you do the language a disservice.

Your sources used for the change of name are inappropriate, being ancient names not at all current or well known.

And Torr Achilty...

And Loch Achanalt...

Why have you changed the name tag of Loch Garve to Loch Gairbh? - that's not what it is known as

Why are you doing this?

On a number places of you had deleted the well known name and replaced it with gaelic, but not put the existing name in name:en. But that is immaterial.

Do not repeat that changeset as it's a huge edit without proper scrutiny or verifiable sources. You have been inappropriately changing well known names for gaelic where it is not used. You obviously have an agenda to replace all name tags in Scotland with Gaelic even where it is not routinely used - i.e. the ground truth, which is not in the interest of OpenStreetMap.

Who are you?

If you have verifiable sources feel free to update it... but pick one language not both.

Verifiable sources, something that any other mapper would be able to look at, Gaelic only road signs, house, business, school names etc.

I see that it is not just a few names you have changed, it's all over Skye. Please see this page on the OSM wiki: osm.wiki/Multilingual_names#Scotland
and revert as soon as possible. I expect most of the names to be the english spelling, E.g I've looked up a few and like "Stein" have that on the entrance to the village as well as the pub being spelt The Stein Inn.

Thanks.

Hi. I am that renderer wondering about "en - gd" in the name tag. I'd expect one or the other not both.

It should be what it's mostly known as.

That's more plausible. Thank you.

For the avoidance of doubt, tracks like this:

way/1396568307#map=19/51.948253/-8.439933&layers=P

and this is the track I meant to link to originally:

way/1396568307#map=19/51.948253/-8.439933&layers=P

Hi,
I see you have been checking in more changes but have not reviewed the multitude of tracks around fields, etc. Please do so very soon.

Thanks.

Tracks: you should not be mapping things for routing, much like not mapping for a renderer. Your tracks cannot be verified by someone else as they don't exist on the ground.

See osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground for useful info on this.

Please review those you have put in.

Hedges vs scrub. It's tricky, and sometimes controversial whether a narrow strip is a barrier=? or area of scrub, trees, etc. I prefer a barrier, but wont push my bias here.

Hi there.

I really like much of the mapping you've been doing in this area but have an observation.

Many of these tracks you have been putting in around the edge of fields don't appear to be on aerial photography, Bing or ESRI. I was wondering your source for the tracks? Or whether you've been a bit overly keen on interpreting mowing or ploughing marks as tracks?

Another was you've marked some boundaries between fields as scrub. I'd expect these to be barrier=hedge as scrub is really for larger areas?

Thanks.
