Changeset When Comment
68238020

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit however it has gone a little wrong.

Firstly when 'fixing' things please try not to delete and start again, it is far better to try to improve things but the biggest problem is that you have deleted a section of public road and redrawn it a long private roads through a farmyard. This is a very big error that needs to be fixed.
When mapping please do not rely on aerial imagery, especially in areas that you are not familiar with but use other sources such as public gps traces, OS Opendata.

Please remember that OSM is now 12 years old and such a wild inaccuracy is unlikely to have not been spotted.

Please also make you changeset comments human readable, a failing of hot is that they encourage gobbledygook that local mappers are unable to understand. Cyclic redundancy check for example?

I hope you will take these comments as a means to improve your mapping, but the first rule should always be map where you know and hence learn to interpret the sources.

Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. The correct term for a play park is a playground. I have corrected the tagging as this is not a park.

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong, there is no "2nd" connection to Shaw Lane (Trunk). This driveway should end at Shaw Lane (Residential).

Hi, I think you had this right first time. This is a driveway into a school which is obviously private, you should not expect public access here.

Hi, this edit has gone very wrong. You have created a route though what is clearly a private area and would have some quite serious health and safety issues.
osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=52.96414%2C-2.66155%3B52.96457%2C-2.67005 is clearly very wrong.
Please slow down, mapping is not a race,and consider the obvious access problems you are creating when linking public highways via what are obviously private industrial sites. Access tags are vital in this case if we are not to try routing map users through private areas thus damaging the quality and reputation of OSM.

Hi, this edit has created a series of overlapping ways. Please take care to ensure that this does not happen.

Also please consider the obvious access problems you are creating when linking public highways via what are obviously private industrial sites. Access tags are vital in this case if we are not to try routing map users through private areas thus damaging the quality and reputation of OSM.

I have already commented on a similar changeset by one of your colleages and have yet to recieve a sensible response.
Parking aisles should be mapped within a car park. There is little point in mapping them alone, Please also map the car parks at the same time as this is the object type which map users actually need.

I would also suspect that motor_vehicle=no is unlikely. It is more common that deliveries are allowed to shops during certain hours. While I know you did not add this, maybe you could check the signs. If you need tagging help just ask.

Hi, this edit is incorrect. There is no prohibition of HGVs on Flaxfield.
From looking at Streetside imagery there is a sign saying 'Unsuitable for HGVs' but that is just advice, it has no legal meaning. If you want to you could add a note saying that the sign exists but please remove this and any other restrictions that have been based on this incorrect assumption.

Hi, just wondering why you deleted the school building from Holy Trinity Acadamy?

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for you edit but it has gone a little wrong.
Mapping unrelated objects in unrelated area of the world should be avoided as it make peer review much harder. Please remember that OSM is a collaborative database.
A golfcourse should be mapped as leisure=golf_course, it is not a park.
I am not sure what the object you have added in the US is, but it appears random and incorrectly tagged and duplicates an existing object.
I am going to revert this change, please start by adding objects in your local area.

Sorry should have added the wiki page says that they should be added within amenity=parking.
service=parking%20aisle?uselang=en

Hi Yaswap
See osm.wiki/Parking

Map users will search for car parks, parking aisles alone do not add much to the map. Without the surrounding car park they are no purpose.

Hi, thank you for your edit however when adding give ways to the map please also include the direction.

Thank you

Hi, parking aisles alone do not make a lot of sense. Please take a little more time and care and add the car parks as well.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit, however adding default tags to objects is pointless and can make it harder for other mappers to spot other tags. Residential roads are by default twoway so this tag is redundant.
The time this tag is useful is when there is an odd two way road in an area where most are oneway.
Hope this gives you some guidance when making future edits.
Cheers Phil

Hi, tools such as maproulette only suggest things that may need attention. Its suggestions should not be taken literally and local knowledge should be applied.
In this case non-geographic numbers are not available from outside the UK so it makes little sense to display them in international format.
Cheers Phil

What is the source of this edit? Mapillary imagery is showing green signs here suggesting that this is not a motorway.

I, and others, have tried to contact you previously but you are continuing to ignore these. OSM is a collaborative project that relies on communication between mappers.

Hi Toby
Thank you, you cannot alter the changeset in this case, but if you can keep them to one related area in future that would be great.
Cheers Phil
