| 143521590 by Paul Berry @ 2023-11-02 10:14 | 1 | 2023-12-12 15:41 | chillly | I have just seen this edit changing the addresses in the village I live in to North Ferriby. This is a mistake. I live in Swanland, not a suburb of North Ferriby. The 'Postal Town' is a disused remnant of the PAF from Royal Mail. The PAF is COPYRIGHT material that we cannot use. It is the ... |
| 2 | 2023-12-12 20:25 | Paul Berry ♦124 | I used the data given on https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/post-towns/HU.html and the advice on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom as a guide.

There are two, IMHO, spurious relations that seem to relate to NCN 1 in this area. The main relation (9579) was updated and some routes removed from the super-relation. There is more to do. Please feel free to ... |
| 94144448 by LilyP123 @ 2020-11-15 12:49 | 1 | 2020-11-17 15:50 | chillly | Hi,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. chris |

I live close by but I haven't ever seen a name board as far as I know. What is your source for that name? The roman name for Brough is Petuaria, is that the name you meant? If so, surely it would be near Brough... |

| 3 | 2020-10-09 17:11 | tomhukins ♦217 | What was the outcome of the conversation? I notice it was added back a month after you removed it in changeset 59091647 but it seems like it doesn't belong here to me. I left it as is in changeset 92248442 in case there's a good reason for it. | |
| 4 | 2020-10-10 17:27 | mot_tom ♦18 | Hi tomhukins, I didn't receive a response from the original editor. Seeing as I don't know the area, I'd err on the side of caution, but equally if you saw no evidence of the path on your recent visit, maybe it should be removed. I don't know! Sorry I can't be more helpful.\... | |

| 57853948 by premtemp2 @ 2018-04-06 05:22 | 1 | 2018-04-07 10:33 | chillly | Why have you changed this? When I last visited the car park and used this entrance it was one-way only. It is too narrow for two-way traffic. Did you visit the site to survey this change? |
| 57636274 by EgrettaGarzetta @ 2018-03-29 14:49 | 1 | 2018-03-30 20:53 | chillly | Errrr, surely the website is copyright. DO you have permission to use this in OSM? We take copyright VERY seriously |
| 2 | 2018-03-30 23:14 | EgrettaGarzetta ♦1 | I understand that, a little better today than yesterday; but does that mean the names of the hostels can't be used without permission or does it mean they can't be used because they're copyright? | |
| 3 | 2018-03-31 11:30 | SomeoneElse ♦13,398 | @EgrettaGarzetta OSM would need data released under an appropriate licence in order to be able to use it. There's some information at https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright . There's more information over at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import , and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org... | |
| 4 | 2018-04-23 19:58 | SomeoneElse ♦13,398 | As I read the thread at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2018-April/thread.html#21270 , YHA haven't given permission for this data to be used. Are you still working to get that permission? | |
| 57425675 by Mauls @ 2018-03-22 14:51 | 1 | 2018-03-30 20:47 | chillly | The A63 is not a motorway, so is this really a motorway junction? Where did you get they name Welton Road Interchange from? I don't recall seeing that name on any signs around the junction, which I regularly use. |
| 56756260 by Nocco @ 2018-02-28 13:32 | 1 | 2018-03-01 15:58 | chillly | The footpaths beside the roads are better to be created by adding sidewalk tags to the road. We don't draw individual footways that run beside a road. I sent you a message about this a few days ago. |
| 56184978 by Shirodashi @ 2018-02-08 14:33 | 1 | 2018-02-10 13:31 | chillly | I would suggest that Queen's Gardens is the sunken area to the west. I wonder why you have added the name also to a small section of the flower beds around the fountain? |
| 2 | 2018-02-10 13:32 | chillly | sry, the area to the east :) | |
| 3 | 2018-02-10 13:34 | chillly | Also, it is usual that small areas do not have a name, so don't be surprised if you can't add a name to the grassed area. Not everything needs a name and we generally only use names that are signed or very well known. | |
| 56082275 by Steeley @ 2018-02-05 11:36 | 1 | 2018-02-08 12:36 | chillly | Hi,I wonder why you have changed the name of the village? The sign boards put by the council say Holme upon Spalding Moor, without hyphens. What is the source used to change the name? |
| 2 | 2018-02-08 16:00 | Steeley ♦5 | I'd come across a couple of businesses that used that name format while searching, and also Wikipedia. However its even more confusing now as the parish council goes by "Holme on Spalding Moor" (not upon). And then there is this page which uses no hypens in the title, and hypens in th... | |
| 55876943 by Pete Owens @ 2018-01-30 00:06 | 1 | 2018-01-31 18:15 | chillly | Of course people can ride on the A63, why would you think otherwise, so why would this tag litter be needed. There is a proposal to restrict bicycles on part of the A63. That would then be a clear deviation from the norm and would be worth tagging and be useful.Are you going to add the tag t... |
| 55877534 by Pete Owens @ 2018-01-30 00:48 | 1 | 2018-01-31 18:04 | chillly | This seems pretty pointless. No motorways allow cycling. What is the point of this beyond tag litter? |
| 55521499 by BraveDave1 @ 2018-01-17 13:16 | 1 | 2018-01-19 16:18 | chillly | Hi,I think the road is not a residential road, but a service road (highway=service). |
| 55302140 by Legolash2oLiam @ 2018-01-09 19:34 | 1 | 2018-01-10 11:01 | chillly | This seems an odd edit. Why have you added Hull Port as a locality in the middle of a named dock? AFAIK 'Hull Port' does not exist. What are you trying to do with this edit? |
| 2 | 2018-01-10 11:20 | Legolash2oLiam ♦6 | I've moved it to a better place (more centre and on land). I think it should be on the boundary but others had done a node, so a followed that pattern.Rather than displaying all the docks on my visualisation, I'd rather just have the port itself. This particular port is owned by AB... | |
| 3 | 2018-01-10 11:26 | Legolash2oLiam ♦6 | I also fixed its name to 'The Port of Hull' to match literature based on it. | |
| 4 | 2018-01-10 11:38 | chillly | Hmmm, this still doesn't seem very good. 'The Port of Hull' is a better name, but it's not a locality IMHO - it's a port. Adding stuff in an arbitrary place with a dubious tag so it appears on your own render is not a great way of editing. Maybe there's a seamark tag fo... | |
| 5 | 2018-01-10 12:17 | Legolash2oLiam ♦6 | It wasn't just for my own visualisation, there's other ways I can do that. I'd rather share when I can; unless it's confidential.I half agree with the 'arbitrary' part but I fully agree with you on the 'locality' tag, as it didn't seem right. As I sai... | |
| 54982100 by Mojoblackwhite @ 2017-12-28 12:41 | 1 | 2017-12-30 14:53 | chillly | Thanks for the detail. I would not add footway=sideway to ordinary footways. Sidewalk implies they are beside a road, but these are not.HTH |
| 54898225 by Utopia331 @ 2017-12-25 00:21 | 1 | 2017-12-26 13:55 | chillly | The park you added was already mapped, in more detail so I removed this park |
| 54462095 by CutThroatJake @ 2017-12-08 15:41 | 1 | 2017-12-11 12:50 | chillly | This is an interesting change. Where have you seen property addresses that point to this change? What does the road sign on the end of the street say? |
| 2 | 2017-12-11 19:47 | CutThroatJake ♦4 | Hi ChillyThe two street nameplates show ROSEBERY Avenue, as shown in Google Earth. I can provide screenshots if requested. The address information is from any of the major house buying websites and other street | |

You cannot copy google maps, Google Streetview, Google Earth or any other Google source. It is expressly forbidden in their terms or use. OSM is based on being able... | |
| 4 | 2017-12-11 20:20 | chillly | I should have added that websites are also copyright and cannot be used unless the data is explicitly released in a compatible form. (everything is copyright automatically, so unless there is a licence to allow you to use that info it is not suitable for use in OSM). | |
| 5 | 2017-12-11 20:33 | CutThroatJake ♦4 | Sorry Chilly, should have explained better, I work for the organisation that manufactured and installed the nameplate. It is in the public domain, i.e. visible. I only used GE to save a 30 mile round trip but I can guarantee it's accuracy in this instance. | |
| 6 | 2017-12-11 20:40 | chillly | That make a huge difference. :-) | |
| 54338677 by markhealey @ 2017-12-04 18:40 | 1 | 2017-12-05 17:50 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYour cycleways are welcome detail. Creating any road or path needs to join up to the existing network. Does the cycleway cross the road where it ends? If so I would join it to the road there. The one that crosses the roads at the south of the roundabout is an example. |
| 54219844 by NeilYorks @ 2017-12-01 00:02 | 1 | 2017-12-02 16:02 | chillly | Welcome to OSMBuildings are very welcome detail, but I think these are semi-detached, ie they are each two houses. This becomes important when addresses are added, which is the best case. If you need help or hints, feel free to ask.Chris |
| 54241876 by Nocco @ 2017-12-01 16:40 | 1 | 2017-12-02 15:58 | chillly | Please change the changeset comments. These changes have nothing to do with pond and pond. |

The one in the industrial area around Salt End looks like a building with a blue roof on the imagery. The one in the allotments just looks like part of an allotment to me.Do you have better info than the imagery or was this a starting experiment that got... |
| 54248548 by Dogismo @ 2017-12-01 20:27 | 1 | 2017-12-01 21:50 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI wonder why you think there are parks in such strange places. Could it be that you thunk it will attract Pokemon?If you want to add real stuff in the right place correctly described you will be very welcome, but junk will just get removed |
| 54059779 by Mapmoo @ 2017-11-24 21:02 | 1 | 2017-11-29 16:21 | chillly | Why have you added a second chemist which not where the buildings are? |
| 2 | 2017-11-29 16:51 | Mapmoo ♦2 | I could not replace the location,which was in the wrong place,the chemist is at the extreme corner of Westbourne and Chanterlands ave | |

If you use the aerial imagery you can see that the existing chemist is in the right place because it over the building on the corner. The buildings are set back from the roads.The name is not Boots the Chemist. The shop is called Boots. Some ... | |

Your tags are useful and improve the info, but by adding them to a separate node (point) you have now created two RockCity descriptions. I would have added the extra info to the building rather than create a new node, but I guess that... |
| 53819989 by Guy @ 2017-11-15 21:14 | 1 | 2017-11-19 18:55 | chillly | Could you please use more descriptive changeset comments. 'Improvements' really is too brief. |
| 53540902 by Hb- @ 2017-11-05 22:12 | 1 | 2017-11-08 11:20 | chillly | THis is a mechanical edit, and against the mechanical edit rules. This MUST be discussed BEFORE you make these edits. I recommend this is reverted, then discussed and only if agreement is reached, make an edit like this. |
| 2 | 2017-11-08 13:38 | Hb- ♦290 | Hi chillly, thanks for your comment. Replacing "substance=sewer" etc. with "substance=sewage" did not seem appropriate for a longer discussion. Please recommend a place (URL) to discuss edits like this in the future. | |
| 3 | 2017-11-08 13:53 | chillly | The fact you don't think the edit was important enough to discuss just shows how opinions differ. Mechanical edits upset mappers. Mappers are our most precious resource. See the rules here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conductYou can start discussions on IRC o... | |

The beef is in the second sentence: "… to make other systematic edits … without consideration of each change." Be assured that I invoked every way, checked it and it's surrounding and ONL... | |
| 5 | 2017-11-09 01:25 | GinaroZ ♦1,280 | I have no problem with the changes - my suggestion would be to provide a better changeset comment. If you had said "Changing substance=sewer -> sewage in pipelines to properly describe the substance carried" it would have been more obvious what you changed :) | |
| 53548383 by Hb- @ 2017-11-06 08:39 | 1 | 2017-11-08 11:21 | chillly | You MUST stop making these mechanical edits. These MUST be discussed before you make them. Revert this now |

| 53499077 by thetornado76 @ 2017-11-04 09:25 | 1 | 2017-11-06 21:02 | chillly | This looks like an undiscussed mechanical edit. You MUST discuss edits like this before you make them and get broad agreement in the area, GB in this case.You MUST not assume the wiki is correct. |
| 2 | 2017-11-07 04:16 | thetornado76 ♦162 | No, this was not a mechanical edit. I had only change same never accepted tags and sometime misspell e.g. "amenity=Health Centre" changed to the accepted healthcare=centreI know the wiki ist correct. Therefore I had changed this. | |
| 3 | 2017-11-07 09:31 | SomeoneElse ♦13,398 | On https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/173985450/history you haven't "changed" anything, you've just removed one tag. One of the reasons why mechanical edits such as this one should be discussed is that someone might be consuming that tag. It's highly unlikely that anyone wo... | |
| 4 | 2017-11-07 13:33 | thetornado76 ♦162 | In this case I had deleted this tag, because it was double - healthcare is the accepted tag.I think it is not helpful, to add a new or a own useless medical tag, when there is a accepted tag.I will not remove more useless medical tags | |
| 5 | 2017-11-07 16:10 | SK53 ♦864 | It is a highly dubious statement that "healthcare is the accepted tag". Certainly in the UK medical facilities are much more likely to be mapped using the amenity key. The various healthcare tagging schemas advocated on the wiki have never received much mainstream support from mappers, by ... | |
| 6 | 2017-11-07 16:32 | thetornado76 ♦162 | This is correct. Amenity=doctors is the most accepted tag for healthcare Worldwide. But I don't want to change it from centre to doctor. Because the tag which I had changed was medical_centre. Therefore I used the healthcare tag.If you want you can also add amenity doctors. | |
| 52971816 by Dominique Job @ 2017-10-16 05:31 | 1 | 2017-10-20 12:58 | chillly | "Improvement of map accuracy" is not a very helpful changeset comment. How did you improve things? What did you improve? Is there a common thread to the edit?It really helps reviewers. |
| 52037817 by ForstEK @ 2017-09-14 13:35 | 1 | 2017-09-16 14:15 | chillly | This looks like a mechanical edit. Where was this discussed?Undiscussed mechanical edits destroys confidence from other mappers. This should be reverted and discussed fully. |
| 2 | 2017-09-16 16:52 | ForstEK ♦213 | Hi!how you can view here I correct outdated tag "type=gas" to "substance=gas" according wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dpipeline (here describes that tag 'type' uses only for multipolygons). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Oil_... | |

| 51697271 by confusedbuffalo @ 2017-09-03 16:49 | 1 | 2017-09-07 18:39 | chillly | This looks like an undiscussed mass edit. |
| 2 | 2017-09-08 16:03 | confusedbuffalo ♦333 | I can see why you say that, but I felt that this was acceptable. Firstly, it's only changing the tags, not keys.Secondly, I feel that it is important to have phone numbers callable internationally, particularly with the increasing use of OSM data in smartphone apps. When travelling, I expect ... | |

If you're roaming on another country's network you can just dial local numbers with no country code, just as if y... | |

You can dial any number in the UK using only the area code (known as the STD code in the UK) and the local number. If you visit the UK with a roaming phone you still do not need the international code (+44). You only need that if you are c... | |

| 51662611 by Libretto2001 @ 2017-09-02 07:34 | 1 | 2017-09-07 18:35 | chillly | Hi,You can add the tags to the whole building, rather than adding a node (map point) as well. If a building has more than one business or use then nodes make sense. |
| 51483109 by anatomism @ 2017-08-27 14:14 | 1 | 2017-08-30 17:47 | chillly | Private driveways can be mapped. When they are an obvious landmark, like that one, it can be added. The tagging may have been wrong, but rather than delete it, you could change the tagging. A private driveway would be tagged as: highway=service, service=driveway, access=private. |
| 51358533 by DawnShine @ 2017-08-22 23:14 | 1 | 2017-08-26 08:46 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for your additions and for improving the tagging. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. |
| 51308031 by chendriks @ 2017-08-21 14:23 | 1 | 2017-08-21 14:28 | chillly | You appear to have added the whole garden surrounding the house as though it is a house. I would draw the building footprint as the house and if you want the garden then draw the outline of the garden and tag that as leisure=garden, access=private. HTH |

| 51149076 by Mike Baggaley @ 2017-08-15 18:47 | 1 | 2017-08-17 10:23 | chillly | The name on the board above the shop front is 'Chemist'. I surveyed it and it is still so.Please don't just armchair this stuff - check first!I will revert your change. |
| 2 | 2017-08-17 10:36 | Mike Baggaley ♦630 | The name is not Chemist, it is P. Rowbotham Dispensing Chemist according to http://www.nhs.uk/Services/pharmacies/Overview/DefaultView.aspx?id=5007. | |
| 3 | 2017-08-17 11:07 | chillly | The name on the shop says 'Chemist'. I know that because I have been there. You cannot use copyright sources to update the name. I will revert your change and ask the DWG to intervene if you use copyright sources in OSM again. | |
| 4 | 2017-08-17 11:09 | Mike Baggaley ♦630 | You will find his name is also on the front of the shop. | |
| 5 | 2017-08-17 11:10 | chillly | Which is why I added the name as the operator. | |
| 6 | 2017-08-17 11:19 | Mike Baggaley ♦630 | I suggest in the spirit of compromise the name be set to either P Rowbotham Chemist. or just P Rowbotham. The name of the business is clearly not Chemist. | |

So is this a way to circumvent being blocked, or are you a genuine new editor? Is the 2011 census data released under an open licence? Is there information about this? |
| 2 | 2017-08-16 20:06 | Dr Mark ♦1 | Hi Chillly,I had no idea that anyone had been blocked for adding population numbers. I was looking for ways to use OpenStreetMap for Parish Council and local political work, and was trying to find a way to display ward and district boundaries.

| 4 | 2017-08-16 20:13 | chillly | Thanks for the reply. OGL is fine, but oddly wikipedia isn't always a safe source - we don't know where that came from. Your edit looks fine based on OGL.The parish boundaries for much of GB have been added, it looks like your village has too. The purple dotted line show the boundary. ... | |

| 2 | 2017-08-14 14:13 | Polyglot ♦86 | I started doing this in bus stations, but I'm convinced that it makes a lot of sense at the beginning and end of the routes.I'm 'traveling' around the world to test the PT_Assistant plugin and also to see how public transport is being mapped in different places. | |
| 3 | 2017-08-14 15:13 | chillly | So you're not really travelling and seeing what is really there, you're making undiscussed, mass edits from the comfort of your armchair. Do you think this is a good idea and that it is acceptable? | |
| 4 | 2017-08-14 16:13 | Polyglot ♦86 | Of course I think it's acceptable or I wouldn'tbe doing it. I agree the changesets are big and it would be better that locals do them.They take hours of time to work on though. Splitting ways has the consequence of affecting several other route relations, which in turn need to checked to... | |
| 51004332 by drmattstallard @ 2017-08-10 15:04 | 1 | 2017-08-10 16:52 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,It is a common beginner's mistake to use the name tag as a description. Does the trig point really have a name 'Orton Hill Triangulation Pillar' on a name board at the location? If not then just don't use the name tag - many things don't have a name. |

I'm still not sure what your source is. Would you tell me where did you get this information from please. |

| 3 | 2017-07-24 20:31 | chillly | I've reinstated the point. I needs moving over the top of the building that business is in, and then it will be a useful addition to the map.If you have any questions, please ask. | |

Please move it to the side of the road to where the business really is... | |
| 6 | 2017-07-25 17:25 | JamesKingdom ♦98 | Sorry for my hastiness, and assuming that this place is non-existent, I will take more time to check next time, and not just delete the point without looking. | |

| 2 | 2017-07-22 20:58 | PietroPavese ♦1 | Great, thank you. I'm just starting and I was purely having a look at functions. Do you know if there is a way to add house names to the map? | |
| 3 | 2017-07-22 21:22 | chillly | To add a house name I would always draw the outline of the house footprint, add a building tag and add the address tags. Don't use the name tag for a house name (common mistake) as that is for, say, a business name in a building. E.g a shop might have a building name as part of the address but ... | |
| 50456257 by FruTBunn @ 2017-07-21 11:38 | 1 | 2017-07-21 11:53 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI think you have got some wires crossed. You have added the details of a pub to a bus stop which is named after the pub nearby. Adding the pub, with its full details, would be good, but the pub details need removing from the bus stop. You can't buy a beer at a bus stop! :-) |

| 50236094 by digi door @ 2017-07-12 17:19 | 1 | 2017-07-12 18:21 | chillly | Just what is this? Is this some kind of incomplete edit, or some advertising spam? |
| 50229999 by Gayle Abbott @ 2017-07-12 13:11 | 1 | 2017-07-12 17:19 | chillly | This is not a university. please stop adding university to all the objects within the area of the university. This is incorrect tagging. Are you going to remove these? |
| 2 | 2017-07-17 15:00 | SomeoneElse ♦13,398 | The "water-based hockey pitch university" has been fixed, but there is still a "national throws centre university" at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58404006 . | |
| 50229413 by Gayle Abbott @ 2017-07-12 12:49 | 1 | 2017-07-12 17:18 | chillly | You really need to remove the univerity from all these buildings. Please stop doing this |
| 50229383 by Gayle Abbott @ 2017-07-12 12:47 | 1 | 2017-07-12 17:17 | chillly | Welcome to OSMWe only tag each object once. Loughborough University is tagged for the site as a whole. Tagging it on each building makes it look as though there are lots of universities. If you have questions please ask. |
| 50152563 by Starbeamrainbowlabs @ 2017-07-09 13:19 | 1 | 2017-07-10 14:12 | chillly | Welcome to OSM, thanks for your edits.We usually add names in mixed case: Hica Group, though if HICA is capitalised as initials it might be HICA Group. |
| 2 | 2017-07-11 19:57 | Starbeamrainbowlabs ♦2 | Ah, I didn't actually fill out the name here, as I was doing this through the app. I'll certainly correct this though to the right capitalisation. Thanks for the tip! | |
| 3 | 2017-07-11 19:59 | Starbeamrainbowlabs ♦2 | A note though: This whole building doesn't actually belong to HICA Group. There's another business in one section building too. | |
| 4 | 2017-07-11 20:02 | chillly | I would probably divide the building. Effectivly we draw two buildings so two walls exactly overlap and share the nodes. You can see that in Wright Street nearby. Then you can tag each building separately. | |
| 49941115 by Starbeamrainbowlabs @ 2017-06-30 10:56 | 1 | 2017-07-10 14:16 | chillly | Thanks for the details. The church address is not Hull, but Anlaby Common. The boundary fall where Hull Road turns into Anlaby Road. If you do add an address to any building in Hull we use the city name as Kingston upon Hull so all the buildings are consistently tagged. |
| 2 | 2017-07-11 20:00 | Starbeamrainbowlabs ♦2 | Ah ok, sure! I've updated that now. | |

The cafe is a good thing to add, but it's not part of either of the definitions. I'll keep the cafe, but remove it from those relations. Please feel free to ... |
| 2 | 2017-07-10 13:33 | chillly | The addr:city tag is a bit confusing for new starters sometimes. It doesn't just mean city, if the address is a town or village then that goes in the city tag. I'm not sure what the place is, so I left it unchanged. | |

There is a suggestion on the Wiki to make it village_green for public green space, but that doesn't sound right here.If you want to visit a proper municipal park, it is likely to have a name, such as "Jubilee Gardens" or whatever.p.s.

It would be usual to use building=house when you know it's a house. Postcodes have a space in them: HU17 7EN. Postcodes are especially useful for routing and satnavs, so getting the format right helps.If you have any quest... |
| 2 | 2017-06-22 15:09 | chillly | 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. | |
| 3 | 2017-06-22 16:56 | Saidtheguru ♦1 | It sounds like i should put Molescroft, when we moved i tried to determine the correct postal address and that is Beverley, HU17 7EN | |
| 4 | 2017-06-22 17:01 | chillly | The Royal Mail's view of addresses can be very obscure and certainly only one company's version of things. I'd use Molescroft. | |

| 49240062 by ChristopherRowland @ 2017-06-04 11:26 | 1 | 2017-06-04 11:55 | chillly | This needs an object type - name is not enough. |
| 2 | 2017-06-04 15:32 | ChristopherRowland ♦3 | Falconers is a residential house. | |
| 3 | 2017-06-04 15:53 | chillly | Then that tag needs adding. Adding a point with details is useful, drawing the area of buildings and adding the tags to the whole area is much better. With a building set back from the road there maybe a service road or driveway to show how one would access the place too. | |
| 49245478 by ChristopherRowland @ 2017-06-04 15:36 | 1 | 2017-06-04 15:50 | chillly | Thanks for trying to sort this out, it is not quite right. You have drawn an area for the house, but you have added the tags to just one of the corners of the house, rather than the whole area of the house. It also needs a tag to say what it is, in this case building=house would be best I think. |

| 3 | 2017-06-04 15:46 | chillly | As it stands part of the footpath lies in the same place as School Lane, because you just added school lane over the top of Daisy Lane.

| 49240124 by ChristopherRowland @ 2017-06-04 11:29 | 1 | 2017-06-04 11:58 | chillly | You might like to draw the outline of buildings like this.

The name tag is then free if a business is run there too.Please ak if you need more info. |

This could be a meadow, or maybe grassland. |
| 2 | 2017-05-14 16:52 | Mithos1 ♦2 | Hi. I wasn't sure about this one. It's definitely not used to create hay, but the developers added and over time there is now significant amounts of different Flora and Fauna that grow and live here, so Grassland seemed too basic. However I can change it if you think that would be best? | |
| 3 | 2017-05-14 16:57 | chillly | I leave it to you (I don't know the area). If there's no hay some would say it's not a meadow, but grass with wild flowers would sway it for others. You could add a note (note=x) to explain your choice for the next mapper. Happy to help (If I have :-) ) | |

| 2 | 2017-04-16 16:24 | MasterThomasG ♦2 | Going there often it's got a small park and isn't often used for football and other activities it's just a large area with trees. Any ideas?😀 | |

| 4 | 2017-04-16 16:27 | chillly | I would draw an area that outlines the playground. We have a tag, leisure=playground to mark that too. By being separate you can add it's own tags, e.g. name. | |

| 2 | 2017-04-16 16:16 | MasterThomasG ♦2 | This area is called Warner's Bridge park, like the name suggests it's a park granted living close it may seem's it's also a recreational ground but it's called a park so I added it as a park. Thanks for the comment hope for a reply.😀 | |
| 3 | 2017-04-16 16:20 | chillly | In OSM terms any green space that is mostly laid out with sports pitches is a recreation ground. It is a fine line. The name suggests the ambiguity. Looking again I would make it a rec, but it's not my local area. | |

| 4 | 2017-04-14 13:37 | BCNorwich ♦4,860 | Hi, it's an area for informal recreation on foot, there do not have to be pitches. | |
| 5 | 2017-04-14 13:54 | chillly | No, in English it is a piece of public land used for sports and games. The tagged space is a piece of rough ground that could not support sports and games. That may be a park, I suspect it is just grassland, it's certainly doesn't look well kept for a park. | |

Highway crossing is used on a point or short section of path where it crosses a road, such as a pedestrian crossing. |

| 46787177 by Danny McMullan @ 2017-03-12 15:12 | 1 | 2017-03-12 15:22 | chillly | Adding a pitch is a good idea. We usually draw the whole area like you have done and describe that as, say, a recreation ground. That can carry a name and maybe opening times. Then draw the outline of the pitch more precisely and only tag that as pitch and sport.Hope that helps |

If your meadows fit that, great, but if not you might like lanude=grassland, or landuse=farmland instead. Meadow is overused in OSM.HTH |

You can only have 1 landuse tag or one leisure tag on each area. If there is a recreation ground with pitches on it, you nee to draw the pitched separately inside the rec, so you can tag them. HTH |

| 45531610 by pizzadog0123 @ 2017-01-26 21:55 | 1 | 2017-01-26 21:56 | chillly | Why have you added a park over a park, I wonder. Could it be an effort to attract Pokémon? Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work.I will delete this junk |
| 2 | 2017-01-26 22:00 | pizzadog0123 ♦1 | Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not marked as a park right? I mean my edit is a Pokemon get but I'm happy to contribute correct additions. If it's correct what's the problem man. | |
| 3 | 2017-01-26 22:03 | chillly | It is marked as a park, with some other stuff too. If you want to add the name you can add it to the existing park, which covers a bigger area than your addition.Sorry to be short we are completely overrun with Pokémon edits, many of which are utter junk. None of the junk edits will help ... | |

| 5 | 2017-01-26 22:11 | pizzadog0123 ♦1 | Haha, I can see you're pretty upset. I think OSM is amazing & we're all lucky to have people working together on it. On a second look I saw the huge park area that's already there. Sorry for the 'junk edits', I just suck at Pokemon. | |

| 45531854 by Nwillowsrough @ 2017-01-26 22:00 | 1 | 2017-01-26 22:08 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the edit. You need to add amenity=fuel to mark the object as a fuel station. It probably isn't called 'Petrol Station', so changing the name to the name that is displayed on the business would be good too.HTH |

| 45531171 by Bricey @ 2017-01-26 21:46 | 1 | 2017-01-26 21:52 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Have you added a park that doesn't really exist to try to attract Pokémon? The 'park' seem to over the top of people's gardens, or am I wrong?Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |

The tip for tracing when the photo is not directly above is to expect te building to be right-angled corners and imaging the floor plan even where you can't see it. HTH |
| 45529709 by joeribbons @ 2017-01-26 21:18 | 1 | 2017-01-26 21:25 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You have changed stuff to be parks that I might use other tags for. E.g. Hornley Harriers looks like a recreation ground, not a park. Hepworth Recreation ground is a recreation ground not a park. Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |

I wonder why you added Swanspool Gardens in two parts?If they really are gardens and not a park you can tag it as leisure=garden with access tags such as access=public.If you have questions please feel free to ask |

| 45529062 by goalkingcol @ 2017-01-26 21:05 | 1 | 2017-01-26 21:09 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou 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. |

| 5 | 2017-01-26 21:34 | GinaroZ ♦1,280 | 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? | |
| 45528477 by TDABLFC @ 2017-01-26 20:54 | 1 | 2017-01-26 20:57 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou 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. |
