Hi, please be careful when removing closed businesses that you do not throw away still valid tags.

It is better to update as for example node/1097110333/history tags such as the address information will be valuable to mappers when it becomes something else. It is also nice to keep lifecycle history of what was there previously.

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.

The public highway ends where it was previously mapped. The section you have added is a service way on private land and should not be an extension of the highway.

Hi
I am wondering why you have deleted the station=site tag here?

Cheers Phil

It means that you can collect tickets that are already paid for.

Hi, this edit has added names to objects that are not named. The names of long distance routes belong on the relation and not on the individual way. The individual ways can very well have their own name or quite probably no name.

Ah, got it. Had missed deleting the tags although this has been One Stop since at least 2011.
node/621354623/history

It is a One Stop as mapped, why are you even asking that question?

Hi, the route of way/913548853 looks a bit odd.

Much of it is in water and is unlikely to be the route you actually walked. Was there a bridge when you surveyed it?

The only streetlevel imagery sources we are allowed to use are https://www.mapillary.com and Bing Streetside, although bing streetside has no coverage in Shropshire. We absolutely must not use the other one.

> Does using the overlays on

We cannot use the data on the council website, it is overlaid on an OS map which taints it from a copyright perspective.

We can however use the data from https://www.rowmaps.com/ which are just the overlays that we can pull into OSM editors such as josm.

I use the council provided file from https://www.rowmaps.com/datasets/SH/ as the processed versions loose information such as priorities, although I use this beyond OSM. We can use this to get path number (put them in prow_ref) and the designation. Again do not copy the geometry as it is often not the walked line which we map in OSM.

Hi
We really should not be using the definitive map, it is based on OS maps which are copyright, and we cannot copy from them. Rights of way need to be added by survey. We aim to map the on the ground line rather than the legal line.

What do you mean by streetlevel imagery?

Hi, this is a very strange edit. Just wondering why you have replaced the valid tag of amenity=arts_centre with a rather pointless amenity=yes?

Also please use meaningful changeset comments which describe what you were trying to achieve.

Cheers Phil

Hi, this edit seems to have gone rather wrong. Please can you explain what 'fix tag on amenity' means.

You seem to have changed a perfectly correct building=yes to amenity=yes, which is rather meaningless.

Hi, you seem to have lost the healthcare=doctor and replaced it with healthcare=yes. Please be careful not to loose important information.

Cheers Phil

The purpose of QA tools is to improve the map, not to simply make QA warnings go away.

Here you have simply deleted the tag amenity=yes, despite the name giving very obvious information as to what it is, and how it should be tagged.

If you do not understand what you are mapping the warning is best left alone as it will help another mapper find and fix the problem.

Hi
This edit has gone very wrong in a few places.
way/234913886 and way/234913872 are both tagged as disused so adding public_transport tags to them really doesn't make sense. The former is a disused goods platform, which makes public_transport tags doubly wrong.

You have also lost important surveyed tags on way/69262248, amenity=social_club is a valid documented tag, see amenity=social_club

It is important when making this type of mechanical edit that you review the suggested changes to ensure they a sensible and are not loosing surveyed information.

Hi
maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_restricted is not very helpful. There is not really a maxspeed:type of GB:nsl_restricted. In built up areas the speed limit may be 30 mph, it may be 20 mph and the needs to be put into the maxspeed tag.
