Changeset When Comment

Brownfield is for land that has previously been developed and the development is then cleared.
When, or if, development starts then it will become construction.
However that will need a survey, we cannot copy from planning applications.

You used a source which is a breach of copyright, we absolutely must not copy from other maps

117015934

We are not allowed to use the OS Mapping which is included in the planning application site. The copyright statement at the bottom of the map makes that very clear.

We have no complete, opendata, source of addresses at this level in the UK. The only way to gather address data is to go out and survey, which takes time. Some of the addresses you have added are not publicly accessible, the sections of Lowe Hill Road are not residential but at best service roads/shared driveways, with private access.

I have reverted this edit.

Hi
Welcome to OSM, thank you for your edit however please keep your changesets to sensible areas. This one should have been three, one for each area.
Also please use meaningful changeset comments which describe your intentions, uhh just made me immediately question your edits.

OSM is a database which reflects verifiable real world information, a doestic garage with an operator and and an operator:type of quango is certainly questionable.

Sorry, realised that you didn't change the noticeboard.

5. Advertising on the noticeboard by the library is prohibited, amenity=notice_board

Hi, you have made several errors in this changeset.
1. Wem's Kitchen is a takeaway, why would you change it to a restaurant?
2. Monks is a shop, not an office. It has big windows and displays which are useful outside of opening hours,
3: Why have you removed the tunnel from Maypole Court to High Street?
4. Wishing Well is two separate buildings, deliberately mapped that way as part of a plan for 3d mapping.
The office and training room should be separate buildings and objects.

I have updated the POI with its current name / fhrs / website.

115024652

Again I do not believe this is a foodbank.

c/o in the address suggests this is an admin contact.

locations,geojson does seem to be rather more sane than foodbanks.geojson and suggests that the foodbank is at the Salvation Army. But again is just a postcode centoid, not an actual location and is pointing at the wrong building.

Hi, I am fairly certain this is not the location of a foodbank or if this is actually 157. It appears to simply be a postcode centoid.

Cheers Phil

It appears that this location is the postcode centoid of the postcode given on the website, however the website is very clearly wrong giving totally the wrong postcode.

I have moved the location of the POI to a more sensible location and have removed to erroneous

Hi Brian
The location of the foodbank looks to be quite a way out.

What source did you use as based on the address I would not have put it here.

Cheers Phil

Hi, what is the source of this edit?

Was this a recent survey?

The only reason I ask is that I have been meaning to update Carluccio's as it is now a different Italian restaurant.

Cheers Phil

Maybe spend an extra few seconds improving the usefulness of the map by adding the car park which is far more useful than parking aisles.

Cheers Phil

Thank you for you comment however the first and most important point is that we absolutely not allowed to use google maps when mapping in OSM. Using such data could put the entire project at risk.

The houses are addressed as Shrewsbury Road, so other than a prohibited source is there any other evidence of this name?

There are no visible signs and the name does not appear in any open data source that I am aware of. OS Opendata being the most likely.

Cheers Phil

Why have you changed way/718122173 to unclassified?

In real terms I would describe it as a track, but in OSM terms it is service with restricted access for motor vehicles.

Cheers Phil

116207078

Unclassified implies public access for motor vehicles, which these are not. They were correctly mapped as service.

What is the source of the name as there are no signs?

Cheers Phil

115378831

My source is the sign outside the church, it is reasonably local to me as I am in neighbouring Wem

In OSM we tend to go with the rule that on the ground and surveyed will always trump official databases.

Name:cy=Llys Bedydd is surveyed information so that really should be the name:cy (When doing mapio cymru stuff a few years back)

https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llys_Bedydd also backs this up, and there seems little point repeating the English name in name:cy.

This is a major step backwards in terms of osm mapping practice. Why are you removing tags from buildings and moving them to nodes?

In this case you have also thrown away surveyed building type information and replaced it with yes.
