I'm interested in why you deleted someof the houses in St Mary's Walk in Swanland. Have you replaced them?
Why is there a house with just the tag building=house when all the rest of the houses in the village have full addresses.

22017-06-22 15:09chillly Looking at this again, Is Church Road in Beverley or Molescroft? If it is Molescroft then the addr:city should be Molescroft. The term 'city' is a bit confusing. It gets used for any place, so the houses in a village would get addr:city set to the village name.

It sounds like i should put Molescroft, when we moved i tried to determine the correct postal address and that is Beverley, HU17 7EN

I've adapted this to grassland as didn't mean to tag as park. This is an area of grassland which used to be a construction site (2-3 years ago) which is showing on the aerial images as parking etc.

You have added a hotel, with what looks like an English name, but you have tagged the name as the name in spanish (name:es rather than name) It means the name will not appear unless the tag is changed.

This is the second edit this evening adding a very strange plateau in this locality. Is this part of a course or a some other related group?

This really does not look valid for the area. I think both edits are likely to be removed.

It's not much of a plateau certainly - St Augustine's Road is very much a hill with the river at the eastern end of it, and the road that drops down to Queen's Park is likewise.

You have marked out the route of something but you haven't tagged it to show what it is. If you want to show a farm track you need to add a tag, such as highway=track or highway=service so the renderer knows what to do with it.

You seem to have added a pond that fills someone's garden. Is this really correct?

Pokémon edits need to be correct , accurate and real places to work.

You have added a highway pedestrian. This is normally a a road for cars that has been converted to a pedestrian road in, say, a town. I would use highway=footway, a normal footpath.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

You have added a line across the stream, but you need to add tags to describe it. I would use highway=footway, bridge=yes

The park you have drawn is a bit crude, it strays over the gardens of Kinnell Road.

There are no houses on that part of Kinneil Road, on the place i have Selected, is part of the park , with Pigeon huts.

Hi, I've fixed the paths that you added beside Lyon Court - I've connected them to the road so that routing software can direct users along them.
I also added a couple of bowling greens that I saw - perhaps you could add the pavilion building and club name if you know it?

You seem to have added a footpath over the top of a road. We usually do not add footpaths like that. If a road has a path next to it we add sidewalk tags to the road. This makes phone and satnav routers for pedestrians work better.

If you need any help sorting this out please ask.

Thanks for the details.

You can enclose the pitches you have drawn in an area tagged as, say, a recreation ground.It might have a name too.

Thanks for the edit. You have doubled the path back over itself. It needs to be drawn as two separate paths that join.

I see you have added some strange paths to the map. The spiral path in the park may be a route you took, but is that really a clear path that someone else would be able to follow?

You have also added a path besides a road. We don't add footpaths like that. If the road has ...

I see you have added the footpath beside the road. We normally only add the pat separately if the path is really separate from the road with something between. If the path is just next to the road we add sidewalk=left or right or both to the road.

This makes routing by phone an...

The Edward st park looks to be where a house is. Is that OK?

You have added a path with a name 'New Steine'. We only add names that are really the name of the object. The name looks to be the park name not the path name. Are you sure the path has that name?

If you ...
