| 49902482 | chillly | Please stop adding this rubbish or will have your account suspended.If you want to add real stuff, please do, but not this rubbish. |
|
| 49902344 | chillly | This looks to be rubbish. Did you mean to save this? Do you need any help cleaning this up or would you like me to revert (undo) it? |
|
| 49899650 | chillly | Welcome to OSMRather than removing a footpath or track, you could add access tags to make it a private footpath or track. The fact the path exists is a good reason to have it on OSM. Someone will see it is missing and add it again. If you mark it as private anyone seeing the map will see the path ... |
| AliWes100 | The path does not exist |
| chillly | OK |
|
| 49724373 | chillly | Welcome to OSMHas someone really converted a house to a restaurant and called it Test?I think this needs to be removed as a restaurant. |
| SomeoneElse | @chillly Maybe they're waiting for someone to remove their test data before writing up their dissertation on "how robust OSM is to vandalism"! |
| chillly | @SomeoneElse you're right, time to remove the junk |
|
| 49841536 | chillly | Narnia? This looks like some kind of joke or testing. Maybe you didn't expect that your edit would be shared publically, but it is.Would you like some help sorting this out? |
| rokrmo | yes was just testing |
| chillly | OK, I will revert (undo) this edit. If you need any help, feel free to ask. |
| rokrmo | thanks |

| 49769444 | trigpoint | Hi Martin, is https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/502622232 really a park? It looks a very odd place for a park, and aerial imagery suggests it isn't.Also it is bad practice to join areas such as this to the centreline of roads. The area will end at the edge and should be mapped as such.Cheers P... |
| Martin Wynne | Hi Phil,I use "park" for any public green space with trees or shrubs, because there doesn't seem to be any other designation available. I have noticed the same used in lots of other places on OSM. "Grass" is ok for plain grass, but this clearly isn't that - see: https://goo.gl... |
| chillly | mapping landuse boundaries to the centre lines of roads is not good practice. Your explanation sounds good, but in practice we don't do it. Creating a map image is only one use of OSM data and whatever your renderer of choice does to make the result neatest is not a good justification. A park, or an... |
| EdLoach | Personally I'd have mapped it as an area of (mostly) grass and perhaps added an occasional natural=tree node (similarly when I mark an area as wood or forest I don't usually map holes for every clearing in the trees). I also don't like to think about the amount of time I've had to spend ungluing lan... |
| trigpoint | Please do not tag for the render, a park should only be used for area that are really parks. Mapping is not about making something appear a particular colour on one particular renderer. If I had brought my grandkids here because OSM says there is a park then they and I will be pretty pissed off.Fr... |
| Martin Wynne | Hi Ed, You wrote " (in this case I'd have probably extended the residential area across the residential roads to the edge of the grass area)."This surely illustrates my point - a road is no more a residential area than it is a park.I found this on the Wiki: "If you choose to l... |
| trigpoint | Hi MartinI forgot to say we do not have permission to use g.maps so please do not look at it, use it to check something, use it to illustrate something. Mapping must be done from what you have seen by being there, imagery we have permission to use, and out of copyright maps and information. |
| Martin Wynne | Hi Phil,It is clearly not scrub. 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. I have sta... |
| Martin Wynne | p.s. I have been there. I use Google Streetview only to confirm my memory of what I saw. Mostly I use OS OpenData to align buildings, water-courses, etc. Also the NLS 25K maps are very useful. The Bing aerial is very poor quality for seeing details.Will the NLS 25" historic maps ever be ava... |
|
| 49747398 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the edit.I have a couple of comments. 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 questions ... |
| 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. |
| Saidtheguru | It sounds like i should put Molescroft, when we moved i tried to determine the correct postal address and that is Beverley, HU17 7EN |
| 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. |
|
| 49618977 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the edit. Judging by the title you are adding some sort of route specific to a group or event. The way you have added it means it won't really show up. We only add routes that are signed and permanent.To show a route overlay on an OSM map you might like to look at ht... |
| OldBasilBear | Thanks for the information. The walk is part of a butterfly transect and does follow signed footpaths, but I take you point that it is specific to an organisation.I will have a look at the link for more info.Thanks again. |
|
| 49596372 | chillly | Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail. We normally use the name tag on buildings for business names and use the address housename tag for the building name. Adding extra address info, such as postcode, is also helpful.You could have added the housename tag to the building outline, but some p... |
|
| 49541036 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the detail. The address details are useful, but they belong in the address tags.The name tag should just have the name of the bar in it.Hope that helps. |
|
| 49525224 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. I've just taken a quick look at the area and a previous editor has marked the whole recreation ground as a pitch (it would be better as a recreation ground). We would then mark specific sports areas as a pitch, with a specific sport added, so a pitch for your bowls green and sport=... |
|
| 49462784 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for your edit. OSM is not a business directory but we welcome people who add business detail. The details are useful (description borders on an ad :-)) but you have missed off the most important tag: what is this? Is it a shop, an office, a craft ...Please feel free to ask... |
|
| 49311521 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. We map things that are present today and can be checked by someone else at the site. Is there a blue plaque or some other memorial for Stan Laurel? If so, we would map that and there are tags for that. If there is no present day memorial we would not add histor... |
|
| 49240062 | chillly | This needs an object type - name is not enough. |
| ChristopherRowland | Falconers is a residential house. |
| 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 | 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. |
|
| 49240008 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.You seem to have added School Lane over the top of Daisy Lane. We only map each object once, so I would have changed the part of Daisy Lane to become School Lane.If you need more info, please ask. |
| ChristopherRowland | The footpath part is known as Daisy Lane the track from the A283 to the School House is known by the residents of the School House as School Lane. |
| 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. Is that section School Lane or Daisy Lane, it can't be both. If both exist then they must be side-by-side not in exactly the same place.Also, you have not joine... |
|
| 49240211 | chillly | I wonder why you have deleted these things? Are they wrong? Have they been removed? |
|
| 49240124 | chillly | You might like to draw the outline of buildings like this. Tag it as building=house and you can add address details from there. A cottage would use the housename tag to specify its name, not the name tag. The name tag is then free if a business is run there too.Please ak if you need more info. |
|
| 49240051 | chillly | Adding the Round House is useful, but you always need to add what an object is. Is this a house, a business, an attraction ... ? |
| ChristopherRowland | The Round House is a residential house. |
|
| 49134837 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. You have added lots of detail about the studio, but you have missed off the most important one: what is this? Is it an office (office=*), a shop (shop=*) or what. Without that OSM cannot show the business properly. |
|
| 49111394 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI see you've deleted your work. Do you need any help? |
| ezpc98 | Hi, thanks for offer of your help. I did my first edit to add 2 houses (with separate garages) on the street and uploaded them in one go. However, it seemed the standard layer was showing up as odd shape.Can I make multiple edits and upload once? Will OSM show them with individual boundaries or ... |
|
| 49108155 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. It helps a lot to know how the path is surfaced, we use the surface tag to show that. If the path is a public right of way you might like to add designation=public_footpath (or public_bridleway)HTH |
|
| 49107992 | chillly | Buildings are best drawn as an area, not a point. If you want to make it clear that it is part of the school (it is within the grounds but an extra tag might help) you can use the tag building=school.HTH |
|
| 49107877 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have used 'External Building' as the name. It is common beginner's mistake to add a description as the name. We only use the name tag for things that have a name board or a sign. Is the that building really called 'External Building'? It is also common for small buildings on a si... |
|
| 49105672 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail, you have added useful tags, but you have missed off the most important tag - what have you added? Is it an office, a shop, a house ...?The description tag is just free text. You seem to have used it as an ad (OSM is not a business directory but we welcome b... |
|
| 49029429 | chillly | Welcome to OSM OSM is not a business directory, so your advert in the description tag is, IMHO, inappropriate.You have added many useful tags, but a key one is missing. There is no tag to describe the object you have mapped. Is it an office, a shop ... ? |
|
| 49023976 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added an area and given it a name, but not described what it is. The description tag is really only a form or comment. If Tilmore is a suburb there is a place=suburb tab, but it looks a bit small for that so I would use place=neighbourhood. HTH |
| stephenmartin | Thanks - I'm learning. It is a neighbourhood. |
|
| 48979879 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have created two fitness centres, one in a bus station and anther in the middle of a road junction. You haven't given them names, so that makes it harder to verify them. Are there really two fitness centres in that small area? Were you experimenting and saved your test?... |
|
| 48887960 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the details. I see many of the smaller residential roads, including the original part of of Old Farm Close that you have added to, have names in all capital letters. Unless there is a very special reason (which I can't think of) they should be mixed case like the bit you h... |
| shepe | All done (as far as I can see) :) |
|
| 48887407 | chillly | Welcome to OSMWe only use real stuff, in the right place correctly described. I will revert (undo) the fun, but imaginary edit |
|
| 48845104 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIt looks like your first edit has gone a pear-shaped. You look as though you resized a building and just dragged all the stuff joined to it as well. It's not unusual for new starters to make this kind of mistake. Would you like me to revert (undo) this to get a good starting point ag... |
| chillly | Looking again, I suspect you want to add one unit that is just part of the building. That is a bit harder than just dragging the bigger building around. If you need any help, I'll try. |
|
| 48828731 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIf you know the road names are wrong, use the editor to change the name. Just have a go. If you make a mistake don't worry, it can be sorted out. |
|
| 48795968 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe fuel station you have added seems a bit strange. It looks to a row of houses. Have these been demolished? What sort of fuel station is this? |
| Nodwaa | i do apolagise yes it is a little down from there i shall fix it, thank you its a texico garage |
| chillly | No need to apologise, beginners often make mistakes, it's part of learning. OSM has become more and more complex. If the garage has a name (other than Texaco) you could add the name tag. You can add the brand tag too as Texaco. Any other details help, too. The online editor (rather than maps.me)... |
|
| 48796320 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. I added a shop=car_repair tag. I know you might not think of it as a shop, but that's OSM tagging :-) I also tweaked the address to fit the standard layout too. You might like to draw the buildings, car park and the service road that is the entrance to your bus... |
|
| 48768921 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have had a bit of a battle with this edit. The building of the ambulance station and the wall has been a bit mangled. I think the safest way to sort this out is revert (undo) the edit so you can try again what ever you were doing. Would you like me to revert this edit for... |
|
| 48762968 | chillly | Welcome to OSMAre you sure that the aerial imagery isn't out of date? I think the road, cycleway and car park may be there. Have you been to have a look recently? |
|
| 48761920 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. You have added a shop (your shop?) right next to the road, rather than in the buildings close to the road. It would be better to move it to the real building. You can add addressing details if you want. That would help people find the shop. You can also add con... |
|
| 48738088 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have drawn a rough outline of a building but tagged it as landuse=residential. If it's a building you could tag it as a building (building=yes is a start). If it is some kind of residential home there are tagging schemes to describe this. e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wik... |
|
| 48708770 | chillly | Hi,Is the area you marked a garden or is it allotments. I see you've tagged it as a garden but your comment indicates it to be an allotment area. Is it an extension to the existing allotments?Cheers |
| David Beaver | Hi,Sorry for the confusion.It's a community garden on the council allotment site. |
| chillly | No problem, that helps, thanks. |
|
| 48734629 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the detail. It is fine to include residential roads in residential landuse areas. Would have drawn a single residential around the whole block. HTH |
|
| 48704202 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe road you added doesn't join up to anything, so routing to the road won't work. I suggest you join it to a point in Thomas Street if that is how it is accessed.If it supports residential properties then I would change the tag to highway=residental. Does the road have a name? I... |
| Dominik Picheta | Done http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/48704526#map=15/54.4195/-6.4427 |
| Dominik Picheta | Thanks for accepting!btw pointers on how to make "Flat 1, Mourneview House" (through to "Flat 29, Mourneview House") and "1 Mourneview House" (through to "29 Mourneview House") searchable would be appreciated. |
| chillly | I didn't accept your work - in OSM we try to use everything. :-)You can add a point for each address and add addressing for each one. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses for more info. |
| KDDA | Amazingly that is not surprising, as Google Maps is very wrong in a lot of areas!I have traced the building more accurately from Bing and added some local features. |
| Dominik Picheta | Nice! Beautiful job :)Thanks for the links chillly! |
|
| 48704133 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe carpark node you added duplicates the area already there. You added the name 'test' so It won't matter to you that I'm going to remove it.I hope you add some real stuff in the future. |
|
| 48700915 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs the path you have entered a permanent route or a temporary one for an event? |
| Chris Skerratt | Its a Permanent Trail one, more sections will open up over the summer as they are built |
| chillly | Very good, thanks |
|
| 48701713 | chillly | Hi,You have tagged the Walesbymoor Trail as a track. That means it is wide enough for a four-wheeled vehicle, yet you have tagged the width as 0.5m. I suggest you want to use highway=path instead. The extra (useful) tags makes it clear what to expect. You haven't added any access tags. Is it a p... |
|
| 48480780 | chillly | Hi,If the designation is public bridleway, then I suggest the highway tag should be highway=bridleway too |
|
| 48677526 | chillly | I'm going to sound very picky, but a meadow in the UK is a very specific thing, with grass left to harvest for hay, allowing wild flowers to flourish then later, some animal grazing. This could be a meadow, or maybe grassland. |
| Mithos1 | 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? |
| 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 :-) ) |
|
| 48676909 | chillly | Again, are you sure about the name? It is not unusual for things to not have a name. |
| Mithos1 | Thanks for the help Chilly. The residential on the estate call it that, but there are no official signs etc. Thanks |
| chillly | There is a 'local name' tag (loc_name=x) if that helps. |
|
| 48676868 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIt is very unusual to have an edit that spans the world. I would always break each edit up into much smaller locations.HTH |
| Qwertii | Maps.me doesn't let you split up edits as far as I can tell. It just uploads once you stop adding things for a bit. |
|
| 48676833 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. We only use the name tag for names from a sign or a name board. We don't use it as a description (it's a common beginner's mistake). If it is a balancing pond we do have a separate tag for that (landuse=basin, basin=detention for example.)HTH |
|
| 48651010 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThis looks like some kind of experiment that you then saved. I think this is ready to be reverted, (undone). What do you think? |
|
| 48631834 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have changed a wood to be a park. Are you sure? |
| Ashenskyy | Yes. Has grass areas, trees, swings, roundabout, slide and other children climbing frames. There for a park and not a wood in my opinion. |
| chillly | Thanks. |
|
| 48630638 | chillly | Hi,Thanks for this detail, everything is useful. You have made a very common beginner's mistake. You have added a description as the name tag. We only ever use names in the name tag, usually from a name board or a sign. A phone box will not have a name and certainly not 'Phone box' HTH |
|
| 48626202 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have converted a grassland to a park. When I look at the aerial imagery, including some new imagery, it shows as buildings. Are you sure that's a park?The new park you added extends out onto the surrounding roads. Are you sure that is right? |
|
| 48603717 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail. Drawing building outlines is better than just a point, though a point is better than nothing. I suggest you look at the tags on the point and transfer them to your new building outline and then delete the point. At the moment we have two objects in OSM for one ... |
|
| 48602480 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the footpath. It would be best to join it at both ends to the road. That way routing software using OSM data will be able route pedestrians or bikes along your footpath |
|
| 48601378 | chillly | the pitch looks useful, but the tagging has a mistake. We use leisure=pitch, not landuse=pitch.HTH |
|
| 48601287 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.You have added two areas but you haven't added a tag to say what the area is. The surface tags are good. I'm guessing the round one is a playground (leisure=playground) because it surrounds a point with that tag. If so I would add the tags to your area (that... |
|
| 48595503 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou can add an alternative name or local name as well as the official name. e.g. loc_name= The Dog |
|
| 48595419 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the details.I think I would have drawn the whole area as the park, not in two parts. You can still draw the footpath through the park.HTH |
|
| 48595461 | chillly | This needs an object type to describe it. Is it a monument perhaps? |
|
| 48594161 | chillly | Rather than just a point I like to draw the area and then tag that as sport=tennis. Does the place have a name? name=x |
|
| 48594540 | chillly | A barbers needs a shop tag so the software knows what kind of an object it is. shop=hairdresser, plus the name tag should do it. You can extras such ass address and phone number tags if you know that info too. |
|
| 48594685 | chillly | The building=no tag (from a previous editor) might cause problems. I would describe this as each pitch for each sport (tennis still needs a pitch tag with a sport=tennis) I would possibly add the name to the building where people enter. |
|
| 48594867 | chillly | You have added an area, over the top of an existing wood. There are no tags to dewcribe what it is, what did you have in mind here? |
|
| 48588649 | chillly | You have commented this a a park, yet you have changed coastline and water. Please make your edit comment relate to what you really edit. |
|
| 48588466 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have added a park over the top of an existing recreation ground. I will revert (undo) this edit. |
|
| 48587330 | chillly | You have added a park point when the recreation ground is already mapped. I suspect you want a park with a name, but it looks like a the green space is a recreation ground. If you are sure about the name you could add it to the existing recreation ground and not double up with the point. |
|
| 48587297 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a postbox in the middle of a road, it will actually be beside the road. It would be better that you move it to its real location. You have also included it into the boundary relation for Stourport-on-Severn. This is clearly not right. Do you need any help sorting this ... |
|
| 48574919 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Is there a park in the middle of the roundabout? Is it really called 'Parque'? I suspect not. We welcome new editors, but new stuff must be real, in the right place and correctly described. I will revert (undo) this edit. |
|
| 48574905 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe stream you added looks a but small to be a stream - it might be, but it might also be a ditch. Very few streams flow into canals. The direction of your stream flows away from the canal - that would empty the canal into the nearby houses. The direction of the line needs to be reve... |
|
| 48572960 | chillly | Junk - reverted |
|
| 48573180 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. You have drawn the Memorial Park - I have intended to do for months. You have drawn it so it overlaps the building, that is not very accurate, either the building or the park (or both) need adjusting. If you have any questions please ask. |
|
| 48571433 | chillly | This looks like gardens to me. The space is enclosed by houses. I think this is imaginary. I suggest this is reverted (undo) to remove this park. |
|
| 48534689 | SK53 | This is one of a number of edits which seem to be large scale & should follow either or both the automated or mechanical edit policies (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct) Please try & reply promptly as to your reason for these edits. These edits are likely ... |
| chillly | When an inexperienced mapper (52 edits is very, very inexperienced) makes wide-ranging mechanical edits like this it is usually reverted. Please don't make any more without discussion. |
| SomeoneElse_Revert | This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 48576715 where the changeset comment is: Reverting some mechanical landuse changes. A number have already been reverted; others have been complained about |
|
| 48572837 | chillly | Hi,Again I would only add a name tag if that name is displayed. I don't think this name is displayed. It is a common mistake to add a name as a description. We only ever use the name tag to add a documented name.HTH |
|
| 48572736 | chillly | Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail.You've added a park and a name to another park. We add names that are displayed on the site, usually on a board or sign. Do these parks have names (not all do)?If they have a name we would capitalise names usually, e.g. Peel Street Park, not peel street pa... |
|
| 48572628 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the detail. You've added footpaths and also added the sidewalk tag. Side walks are usually beside a road, yours look like linking footpaths. I would take the sidewalk tags off.HTH |
|
| 48572469 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.I see you have added a beach in a building. Really? I think this might be an experiment that you saved by mistake.I will revert (undo) this edit. If you have questions, feel free to ask |
|
| 48571926 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. You have added a postbox, but it probably isn't in the middle of the road. I suggest you add the postbox where it really is. |
|
| 48571799 | chillly | Welcome to OSM You have added a park over the top of buildings. This is plainly wrong. I will revert (undo) this edit. If you have any questions please feel free to ask |
|
| 48571612 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a park over the top of buildings. This is plainly wrong. I will revert (undo) this edit. If you have any questions please feel free to ask |
|
| 48530397 | chillly | HI,Tidy after an import? Where was this import discussed? Are you aware of the guidelines? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines |
| GinaroZ | Looks like the school grounds are from OS OpenMap Local according to the source https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/492338815 |
|
| 48476043 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Is Haven Gardens a single building? It looks like a square of buildings with a space in the middle to me. |
| Barry86m | Haven Gardens are separate buildings, but confusingly two-thirds of it (e.g. number 1-22) is accessed from Poplar Grove and the remaining third (e.g. 23-35) from Pond View. |

| 48369156 | chillly | Thanks for the edit. Keeping up with changes is very useful.If an amenity closes it is best to change the tagging to reflect that. I would change the pub tag to be disused:amenity=pub. If the old name board is still present then I'd leave the name unchanged as it is still a landmark, but if the ... |
|
| 48461259 | chillly | Hi,You have added a couple of living streets in Pocklington. These are vanishingly rare in the UK and as far as I know the East Riding council have not created any. It is usual to just use highway=residential in the UK, with surface, sidewalk and maxspeed tags to add more detail.HTH |
|
| 48440240 | chillly | Is there a way to get from St Peter's Walk onto the footpath? If so it is best if you join them. That way routing software can then create a continuous route using the OSM data.HTH |
|
| 48440171 | chillly | Hi,Thanks for this edit. You have named the public footpath 'Public Footpath'. I doubt that is its name, it is the description. We only use the name tag to actually add a real name, such as Jakes Walk or Clevland Way. If it is a public footpath (signed on the ground as that) in the UK we add desi... |

| 48432558 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. I can see that you are trying to add a "Development Site", though this is not complete. There was already a brownfield site show, Has this changed? Has construction started on this site? If so then rather than adding a new are, I would have changed the brownfield to a c... |
| JamesNewton | Hi there, yes i am very much a beginner. Trying to gather data on the layout and features of the area for my University coursework, in which the development site is completely theoretical for my project |
| JamesNewton | was only trying to add in onto the map to gather information on its relationship with surrounding areaThanks |
| JamesNewton | Need to include maps and some sort of spatial analysis of the site, therefore have been experimenting with different websites, as i don't have the time to learn GIS efficiently. |
| chillly | OK,If your edit is theoretical (or put another way: imaginary) it needs to be removed from OSM. We only want real objects in their correct location, correctly described. I will revert (undo) this edit. If you want to experiment with private overlays you might like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr |
| JamesNewton | Yepp, will do that thanks for your help |
|
| 48376076 | chillly | Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail. You have added a road in the town as a track. It might be more usual to call it a service road (highway=service rather than highway=track). In OSM terms that can be an alley or a ginnel. You can add the surface as you have to show it is unpaved. You can furthe... |
| HElsey | Thanks Chilly - this is my first go at mapping, so this is really helpful. I'll see if I can edit it. Its a residential unmade road, so it didn't seem right to call it a 'service' road. Is there a definitions page somewhere on OSM? I'll try to get rid of the lanes tag... thanks! |
|
| 48373760 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. You have added some useful stuff but you haven't added a tag to say what is there. Is this an office, or a residential property or what? What kind of business is this? The postcode would be better if it was spaced 'L22 3XN'. OSM is not a business directory, so the description is not ... |

| 48096170 | chillly | Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.You have added an area with a name and a description, but that's not quite enough to specify the feature in OSM. A garden centre is tagged as shop=garden_centre. Without this the map won't know how to show te feature properly.HTH |

| 48063509 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the details.You have made a common beginner's mistake and used the name tag to describe the feature.

Is it really called 'Mini Zoo'? A common mistake that beginners make is to use the name tag to hold a description. We only use the name ta... |
| rick p b | It's not exactly a zoo no, but I didn't know what else to tag it as, it's got a small aquarium inside, small aviary and also houses some smaller mammals such as rabbits. Thanks for the naming note I will bare that in mind for future reference. |
|
| 47999113 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailI think the name tag may be more of a description than a name. It is a common beginner's mistake to put too much into the name tag.

|
| 47998974 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailYou have used the name tag to mark the species or genus of the tree.

|
| 47853718 | chillly | This is a controversial mass edit by a recently-joined editor. I think this needs to be discussed before such a change. I suggest this is reverted.Why have you made such a change? (Please reply - we need to understand what you are doing) |
| Derick Rethans | Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. I see you're a new mapper (5 edits), and you've decided to change town/suburb classfications around London. This is a controversial move, and should have been discussed on the talk-gb and talk-gb-london mailinglist first.cheers,Derick |
| SK53 | Revision of place tags on London suburbs MUST be discussed beforehand. The current values represent a consensus of mappers and users over the past 12+ years. I have reverted this and your 4 similar changesets. |
| Pyorot | Hi, thanks for describing your policy.I made the changes in order to make the map work with OSM's Nominatim service. This is an API that takes coordinates as input and returns addresses. Suburbs of London labelled as towns *do not get returned* by Nominatim, presumably because it trumps them wit... |
| SK53 | Thank you. I know perfectly well what Nominatim is: the current maintainer is a friend.For this sort of issue you should be filing issues on the Nominatim github pages https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues. I suspect that the issue is known, but we have too few developers and maintai... |
| Pyorot | I deduced based on the fact that Nominatim doesn't return town info in London and based on the usage info given here (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsuburb ; http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dtown) that suburbs in Greater London should be tagged "suburb" and no... |
| Pyorot | Actually, sorry, I forgot to mention that part of the reason I'm put off from engaging in discussions is that your note gives an example of such a discussion that took over a year to close. |
| SK53 | We do have an important principle in OSM: respect for fellow contributors. You are distinctly failing to show that respect to me or others. Quite frankly I think we are better off without your arrogant attitude and unwillingness to collaborate.The reason why the note has not been cleared is that... |
| Pyorot | You think it's arrogant to not engage in a discussion? Do you have infinite time? Or did you take my characterisation of the state of suburbs as "idleness" personally?Either way, your accusation of disrespect and arrogance, bundled with the mischaracterisation of my opinion, use of the... |
|
| 47844322 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailsYou have changed a recreation ground into a park. The name (Fairmuir Park) hints at a park, but in OSM terms a green space which is mostly laid out a s sports pitched is a recreation ground (landuse-recreation_ground).HTH |
|
| 47843099 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail.We don't add address details to highways, except the name of course. We add address details to buildings or sometimes entrances.Highway=crossing is used to show where a footway crosses a road, not for the whole road length.HTH |
|
| 47811865 | chillly | Doggetts Park looks like a recreation ground to me. |
| MasterThomasG | 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?😀 |
| MasterThomasG | (Small playground that is) |
| 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. |
| MasterThomasG | On my phone rn I'll sort it out when I get back to my pc 😀. I added that part as a park prior need to go there at some point to see if it has a specific name😀 |
|
| 47811048 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail.I would expect that a green space given mostly to sports pitches would be a recreation ground not a park. What do you think? |
| MasterThomasG | 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.😀 |
| 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. |
| MasterThomasG | I see where your coming from, So OK I'll change it to a recreational area asap.😀 |
|
| 47840984 | chillly | Welcome to OSM Fairfield Recreation Ground is not a park it is a recreation ground - the clue is in the name. I have removed the extra park you added and altered the existing rec's name |

| 47839564 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added two parks that from the aerial imagery look anything but a park. Are you sure this is right? |
| descender001 | Hello.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. |
|
| 47837389 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailYou have tagged the area as both a park and a playground. It is one or the other. The whole area might be a park and a smaller area inside that be the playgroundHTH |

| It's Matthew | I just tried to update it... I think it should be correct now? |
| It's Matthew | There is a load more paths round this area linking to the different villages. I walked for 3 or so hours on them yesterday yet can't exactly remember which way I went other than what I have just added. I'm going to walk them again soon and attempt to edit them on my phone as I go :) |
| chillly | Not quite, you took the highway tag and the surface tag off. Highway tag says what it is (not just a line) and the surface tag is very useful for walkers etc. It doesn't show on the standard render but there are many other renders that do, including personal ones that people use to load into hand-he... |

If you create an outline for the hole then select the wood and the hole and merge them (from the menu when they are both selected) that will create the MP relation. You can then tag ... |
| AbrasivePigeon | Done, thanks for the tips! |
|
| 47790231 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a playground and named it as 'Childrens Playground - Recently built' This is a common beginner's mistake, using the name tag to describe the site. If the place doesn't have a name, or you don't know it, please leave it blank. |
| xhxllyx | Ok thanks |
|
| 47789872 | chillly | You have added a point but it needs tags to describe what it is, a name is not enough. If it is a wall you need barrier=wall. Names usually have initial letters in capitals, especially old names. |
|
| 47789804 | JamesKingdom | Is there really a park there? It looks just like houses to me. |
| chillly | Welcome to OSMThe park looks to be imaginary. There are houses there. I will revert (undo) this edit. |
|
| 47788107 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs the park really called Green Place? There is a temptation to describe things using the name tag, but we only ever use the real name for things. I know that Pokemon players think that parks need a name to help with the game, but we only want real names. :-) |
|
| 47788236 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. I would suggest that Victory Fields is a recreation ground, not a park. It looks to be predominantly for sports. |
| AbrasivePigeon | Yep you're absolutely right, my bad. Changed and also added more detail (skate park and playground). |
|
| 47783006 | trigpoint | Hi, welcome to OSM.I have disconnected the park boundary from the centreline of the road and also converted the parts to a multipolygon. |
| chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailWhen you are adding an area please don't join it up to a road. The line that marks the road is the centreline so there will always be a gap. |
|

|
| 47755942 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. May the Pokémon be with you! |
| BCNorwich | But it's a recreation ground not a park! |
| chillly | It doesn't look like a rec. There's no sports pitches laid out on it. |
| BCNorwich | Hi, it's an area for informal recreation on foot, there do not have to be pitches. |
| 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. |
|
| 47779608 | chillly | You have added the building of church, but you have not matched the actual building, you may have matched the area around the church, but that's not the building which is what you have tagged. How do you want to sort this out? |
| Jordan Steeles-Turner | I suppose making the area slightly smaller to fit around the building would work. |
| chillly | Yes, that would be good. Try to match the footprint, the aerial images are often slanted from the camera angle. Churches (not rectangular and not an even height) can be awkward |
|
| 47779461 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the edit, but you need to describe the object you have added - a name is not enough. I suggest amenity=fast_food |

| 47777638 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailYou have made a common beginner's mistake of adding a name that is really a description. The footpath is very unlikely to be called 'Path'. If it doesn't have a name (say on a name board) just leave the name blank. |

| 47756692 | chillly | Thanks for the detail. You have used the name is a way that we try to avoid. The name tag is used to describe the name. 'No ball games' may be on a sign, but I doubt it is the name of a park. Not everything has to have a name. |

| 47752664 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. You have made a common beginner mistake of using the name tag to describe something. The footway probably doesn't have a name board with 'Footpath' on it. Thinks don't have to have a name. |

| 47563417 | chillly | The UK Motorhomes website is copyright - it says so on the home page. You cannot use copyright sources without written permission that is compatible with the OSM licence. Do you have that? If not this edit will have to be deleted. We MUST be super careful about the sources we use. Please reply. |
|
| 47636393 | chillly | If this is a postbox, you need to simply add amenity = postbox. |
|
| 47636356 | chillly | You seem to have tried to outline the area of a hospital. That is a better way to describe it than the single existing point. However, your outline is very, very rough. You have included fields and what looks like a farm. Your idea is good, but you need to be much more accurate in outlining objects.... |
|
| 47636311 | chillly | You have added an area, but not tagged it as anything. What are you trying to describe here? |
|
| 47636262 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have rather messed up the recreation ground and added a park over the top of it. It looks to me that recreation ground would be the best choice and that it really isn't a park. To fix the mess, I suggest that this edit is reverted (undone). Would you like me to sort th... |
|
| 47600040 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail.You have added a point with a name, but to be a bit more useful you need to add a tag to describe what it is. I'm guessing a shop (tagged as shop=yes) would be fine |
|
| 47519666 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. Your park tagging is a bit confused. You have added conflicting tags to a single area. If there is a park tag that. If there is some woods too draw another area (maybe inside the park) and tag that as woods, and so on. Natural tree is for a single tree, not a... |
| BeckyLBillings | I apologises for any mistakes I have made. going to get rid of some things. is there anything I can watch that would help? the tutorial is not that bad but it doesn't exactly go into detail. |
| chillly | Don't apologise, OSM can be tricky to understand at first. It's a long time since I started, so I'm not sure what there is for beginners. Have a go, mistakes can be corrected. Don't be afraid of changing your own work. If it all goes really badly I will remove your stuff for you to start again, ... |
| chillly | I have had http://learnosm.org/en/ recommended to me for beginners.Hope that helps. |
|
| 47541555 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detailYou 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.HTH |
|
| 47541465 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the extra detail.You have drawn around the outline of a building. It is more usual to tag it as a building (building=yes). The area is already a commercial landuse, so your newly drawn building won't show up very well as it standsHTH |
|
| 47541418 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou don't need to add oneway=no, that is the default. You only need to add the oneway tag if it is 'yes' for a one way street. |
|
| 47534909 | chillly | You have added an area and tagged it as a place of worship. That should only be the building. If the area around is a grave yard there is a tag for that. The address details etc all belong on the building. |
|
| 47535213 | chillly | We usually don't add footways besides roads, we usually add sidewalk tags to the road. You have also added highway=crossing to a section of footway parallel to the road. Highway crossing is used on a point or short section of path where it crosses a road, such as a pedestrian crossing. |
|
| 47514380 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have placed a park on top of an existing recreation ground. Not everything that is green is a park. How would you like to sort this out? |
| wir3d123 | Seen as though a park is literally defined as an area of land used for recreation i am a little confused as why you felt the need to attempt to belittle me? If you could actually tell me a definition of a park that exclusively rejects the fact that they are areas of public land that are for recreati... |

|
| 47510243 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have placed a point right over the top of a cafe (Cafe Nero) . Has this business replaced Cafe Nero? Is it sharing the building? The point you have added doesn't describe what it is. You have given lots of details, but no shop tag or office tag to describe what category the b... |
| And Albert Fair Trading Ltd | How do we make the point SHOP? This isn't clear at all. We are actually a shop on the upper tier of Chester's Rows ABOVE cafe Nero. |
| chillly | I have added shop=yes tag. If there is a better shop description you can change it later. Now it has a shop tag it is easier to change it. Adding a shop above another is a problem. I suggest staggering the two points a little, maybe to reflect the relative entrances to the two premises. If your ... |
| And Albert Fair Trading Ltd | OK, Thank you.I find this site awfully confusing to navigate and add the correct information. Well as long as people can find us that's all we want really. Thank s again |
| And Albert Fair Trading Ltd | I can't see the tag point to change it? |
| trigpoint | Hi, also spotted that you have used=ele=1, that means 1m above sealevel. The correct tag is layer=1, as already used on Eastgate Street North. |
|
| 47480758 | chillly | More buildings with a description in the name tag. Please don't abuse the name tag |
|
| 47479793 | chillly | Hi,You have used the name tag to describe buildings. This is not how it is used. Please only use names in the name tag. Names usually come from a name board at the site. 'Flates' is a wrong spelling of flats.The building you have named as 'Student Home' also is an invalid polygon because the t... |
|
| 47451235 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have tagged something as a village (place=village) but you have called it Llanddew church. Is it a church or the place? I think the place is called Llanddew. If it is a church, is this different from the Church of St David which is already in place? If so, you need to add a... |
| trigpoint | The village was already mapped as Llanddew, which was correct according to OS OpenData, my view is that this maps.me edit is probably a personal marker should be reverted, it altered an existing object. |
|
| 47449510 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have extended a footpath along some roads. We don't normally draw footpaths like that. If you want to describe a footpath beside a road we add sidewalk tags to the road rather than adding a distinct footpath. |
|
| 47441415 | chillly | Are you sure there's a pond there? |
| carinaf | Jup. Stayed there. |
|
| 47424807 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have added a shelter in a garden. What were you trying to do? Do you need any help? |
|
| 47389458 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI'm not sure what you were trying to do here. Do you need any help? |
|
| 47365409 | chillly | It is best to join the footpath to the road at Lakeside Gardens. This allows software routers to plot a route from the road to the footpath. |
|
| 47363777 | chillly | Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail. Is this a BMX track? If so we can tag it more precisely. |
|
| 47272418 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. I wonder if the highway=pedestrian tags would be better as highway=footway. In the UK we usually use pedestrian on roads that were for vehicles but have been converted to pedestrian-only use, often as a shopping street. We use footway for any footpath. The ex... |
|
| 47270658 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. I wonder if the 'Closes Recreation Ground' would be better described as a recreation_ground rather than a park. There does look to be sports pitches there. |
|
| 47266491 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIt seems that you know a bit about OSM, but perhaps not quite enough. You have added a point over the top of an area. The area contains the pub details that you have duplicated. We have an important policy that every object is only mapped once, and the experienced mapper added the ... |
|
| 47233289 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the details, always welcome. The name you have used has two parts, with the second part a capitalised version of the first part. In OSM we use lower case for tags, except names and references which use the case the name really has. Unless the business really is called 'b... |

| 46993546 | chillly | We don't add postcodes to area. We only ever add postcodes to individual addresses. These can be a house or a business.

|
| 46993183 | chillly | Hi, you have drawn the outline of something you have named 'Woodland'. You have used a name as a description which we don't do. If the area is a woodland it needs to be tagged as natural=wood. If it has a real name then it can be added, but a lot of woodland has no name. |
|
| 47070770 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. It needs a little change to be more useful.You have added a point with only a name. OSM needs a tag to know what the object is and so how to display it. I would suggest you need to add amenity=clinic as well as the nameHope that helps |
|
| 47068825 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs Ben's house really an embassy? Can we stick to facts please? :-) |
|
| 47068773 | chillly | Welcome to OSMDisused premises can be marked as such. A consistent way is to change from amenity=bar to disused:amenity=bar. You may remove the name too. This will prevent it showing up on the map. |

| 47046625 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYour parks seem a little odd. Parc Y Peggrem is clearly over the top of a house and garden.Parc y Llew is over the top of a recreation ground, which looks a better choice of tag to me. It also has the English name in the Welsh name tag (name:cy is for Welsh). Parc y Ddraig is a... |

| 47041479 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI wonder if you were experimenting with the editor and save your experiment.

| dialogueuk | Yes please...Perfect Pets has moved out, and Redvers Interiors moved in. There shroud not be a second shop or a boundary relation!Any help appreciated. |
| chillly | OK, I have tidied up the extra shop and relation. It may take a few minutes to appear and you may need to refresh the cache in your browser to see the change. |
| dialogueuk | Thanks, much appreciated.Regards, Dave/. |
|
| 47019244 | chillly | I think you have worried about the name not appearing and changed something that was already right. Is the whole area really a building, with a building in it? I'll try to put this right. Please be patient about the name appearing, it will. |
|
| 47012470 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThis looks a strange place for a waste basket. They are usually in a public place, often next to a road. Combined with your note, is this an attempt to highlight a waste problem, such as fly tipping? If so, you could try using a reporting site like https://www.fixmystreet.com.\... |
|
| 46985732 | chillly | Looks good, thanks |
|
| 46985260 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI see you have added Humbleton Farm, which is great. We outline the farmyard, as best we can, and ass landuse=farmyard, not place=farm. That will make it consistent with most farms in the UK on OSM |
| trigpoint | You have also joined it to a powerline, which is obviously incorrect and to the centreline of Mill Lane. |
| delfimo | Apologies. Have sorted now. Deleted old area as unable to figure out how to change area. |
|
| 46965544 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs the wood really called New Town? It seems an odd name for a wood. |
| Martin Hügi | Yes, it is the site of some houses that were abandon when the occupant died of Cholera several hundred years ago. At least so I am reliably informed by the landowner, Major Ted Barclay. There is actually a small pond at the NE corner that I could add in. I do the woodland management plans for the es... |
| chillly | OK, interesting. The wood has a 'hole' in it for the pond. So it needs a similar treatment as the other lake, only this time the wood is the 'outer' and the pond is the 'inner'. Draw the pond then select both the wood and the pond and merge them from the menu. |
| Martin Hügi | Ok will give that a go, thanks |
| Martin Hügi | Did that work? How do you add nodes to your polygons? |
| chillly | You added the pond OK, but it is not in a 'hole' in the wood. As I said before, multipolygon editing is not as straightforward as simple editing. To add new nodes to an existing polygon, select the polygon. click and drag one of the centre markers between two existing nodes. The marker will beco... |
| Martin Hügi | How do you make a hole? Thanks for the new nodes info. What's an MP? |
| chillly | MP=multipolygon.In the online editor you are using you select both the wood and the pond (use shift click to select the second item). Then the ring menu has a plus (+) sign which is merge. Click that. That merges the two polygons as a multipolygon, thus making the pond into a hole in the wood. I... |
|
| 46965563 | chillly | Hmmm, would a deciduous wood really be called The Firs? Where are you getting these names from? |
| Martin Hügi | It is deciduous now. It was actually a Norway Spruce and European Larch plantation with some site-native broadleaved. So granted it should never have been called the Firs, but that's its name. Its quite common for people to refer to conifers as firs, but there are no native firs to the UK. Only plan... |
| Martin Hügi | I work for the Woodland Trust as a project manager for ancient woodland restoration covering the SE and E of England. My work is all to do with converting ancient woodlands planted with non-native conifers to site-native broadleaf species. Here's a link to a guide to what I do that I wrote with a co... |
| Martin Hügi | So do you need proof of what people are putting on OSM, how does it work. Do you do a certain amount of background checking to ensure it is not nonsense? Or does it really on the collective weight of many people to find and correct errors? |
| Martin Hügi | Excuse typos. |
| chillly | We generally accept most stuff, but lately there's been a lot of junk stuff added by people trying to cheat at a game that uses OSM as it's map source. It is clear now that your edits are real and useful, sorry for the skepticism. |
| Martin Hügi | That's ok. It is Saturday night after all, so I would be suspicious too |
|
| 46965823 | chillly | Hi, You would be better to space the postcode as normal, SG9 0HF. If some uses the map data to search for a place, using postcodes is common, such as in a sat-nav. Badly spaced postcodes don't work |
| Martin Hügi | Ok, what's normal? without the space then? I normally put a space, but then I accept I am not a SatNav. At least not knowingly. |
| chillly | You have entered it without a space. It would normally have a space before the last three digits. I know more about postcodes than is good for me, I maintain the UK postcode layer for OSM. http://codepoint.raggedred.net |
| Martin Hügi | You are quite right. I had to check by starting to add another building. That's quite unusual for me, it was a typo. I normally put a space in, hence my first comment. I ocd-hate postcodes without spaces |
| chillly | Everyone starting out makes mistakes. The great thing is everything can be changed and improved. I hope you enjoy seeing your work for everyone else to see. If you need any help, feel free to send a message.Chris |
| Martin Hügi | Thanks |
|
| 46965626 | chillly | Thanks for the detail. You have chosen a slightly advanced thing to edit, that is an object inside an object. We use an advanced object called a relation to draw the lake with a hole (the island) in it. What you have done is useful, would you like a hand incorporating the island with the lake? |
| Martin Hügi | Yes, ok. Thanks |
| chillly | I've joined the lake and island in a multipolygon relation. I removed the address fields, they are only used for buildings. The tags on the lake have moved to the relation, as is the norm. |
| Martin Hügi | ok, got it. |

| Firstyeoman | Hi Chilly sorry this stems back to a while ago when I added the well because I couldn't find a water tower tag. I realise that the water tower was already there but I hadn't seen it because I had not zoomed in enough. I was simply getting rid of something that I had added but was never there. ( if a... |

| SomeoneElse | 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.What exactly is it supposed to be? |
|

The only list discussion that I can see for this is at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb-westmidlands/2017-March/002127.html , and that's not really a discussion as much as you saying "I'd like to imp... |

|
| 46817332 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe 'park' you have added is not a park in OSM terms. It is landuse=farmland. I doubt it is called "Farmer's Field". You have drawn it over the top of a number of houses.I will revert (delete) this edit. |

| 46721993 | chillly | Welcome to OSMLooking at the park, I wonder if recreation ground might be better? The individual pitches can be mapped too if you want (leisure=pitch, sport=xxx) Does the park / rec have a name? |
| lostmike | Since Zopes is a Pokemon go player I think any added parks should be regarded as suspect.See http://www.openstreetmap.org/message/read/625774 |
| chillly | Only lost mike can read that message. Not all Pokémon players' work is poor quality. |
| lostmike | I agree. I was probably a little too harsh in my comment. |
| Zopps | I was entirely transparent mike. I have not and will not be adding any false data. True I am adding to experiment with the notion that osm data is used to govern the spawn of pokemon. But I am only adding real location data, which in turn furthers osm as a by product :) |
| lostmike | I agree. I apologise. |
|
| 46787177 | 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 |
|
| 46787116 | chillly | Added a park that covers the river really isn't the way to do it. You need to be more fine detailed than that. |
|
| 46786650 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added an area but you haven't tagged it as anything. OSM needs to know what you are adding in order to make use of it.The second area looks a bit of a doodle. Do you need any help with this? |
|
| 46760951 | chillly | Welcome to OSMLooking at the aerial imagery, you seem to have a drawn a park over the top of some buildings. Have the buildings been demolished recently? Have you made a mistake? Do you need any help with this? |
|
| 46750563 | chillly | Have these buildings really been destroyed or is this an effort to attract Pokémon?I will revert this edit. |
| greendra | I'm pretty sure they blew up. C'MON MAN I NEED THAT PIKACHU! >:(Just kidding. Sorry for wasting your time. A nice site / idea this whole community mapping thing is though :) |

|
| 46750761 | chillly | Welcome to OSMparks are better drawn as an area rather than a point. |

| 46750518 | chillly | Another imaginary park. I will revert this too. |
|
| 46750469 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have added a park over the top of a house. We welcome new editors adding new stuff but it must be real stuff, in the right place, correctly described. This isn't, so I will revert (undo) this edit. |
|
| 46723375 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail.Your small park has a name that looks like a description. We only use names that can be verified, so names on name boards for example. |
|
| 46723340 | chillly | Welcome to OSMFrom the aerial imagery your park is someone's garden. New edits are welcome but they must be real, in the right place and correctly described. I'm not sure your edit quite meets this. Do you need help? |
|
| 46722279 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have added Cairntows park over the top of the existing Cairntows Park. I will remove your extra park. Pokémon will still recognise the old park :-) |
|
| 46722071 | chillly | You can add an English name (name:en Dr Owen Park) and a Welsh name too (name:cw=Parc Dr Owen). Hope that makes sense, my Welsh is very sketchy. |
| Zopps | ok will do.thanks for the input :) |
|
| 46719717 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the extra details. In OSM terms this is a leisure=playground, not a park. Hope that helps. |

| 46717213 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have changes a children's playground into a park. A park is an area not a point ( a playground is often an area too). We welcome edits from everyone, but they need to be real things, in the right place and correctly described. |
|
| 46716723 | chillly | Welcome to OSMWe draw parks as areas, not points. It is usual to draw roads in first as part of a new development. It you don't have a GPS (or a phone with a GPS in it) maybe a note would be best saying there is a new development so someone else can follow it up later. |
|
| 46711491 | chillly | Reverted |
|
| 46711440 | chillly | I have reverted this and your second edit. Both involved dragging points to new places. You can create new points and lines rather than drag stuff around. |
|
| 46600898 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs there really a tourist attraction slap bang in the middle of Charing Cross road? |
|
| 46572594 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. It looks as though you added the postcode as the house number. Adding the postcode correctly makes is easier to find |
|
| 46561239 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe restaurant looks rather close to the road. Shouldn't it be where the buildings are? Postcodes are very useful, but they need to be correctly formed, so they need a single space in the right place in the middleHTH |
|
| 46561218 | chillly | Again you need to add tags to describe what you have added. In OSM a ginnel is highway=service + service=alley. |
|
| 46561176 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a line with a name which looks like a description. We reserve the name tag for real names, usually from a sign. If the path is a path that isn't just informal, you need to add a tag to describe what it is, probably highway=footway.HTH |
|
| 46559972 | chillly | Welcome to OSMPlease don't experiment by adding to the live database. There's a host of ways to ask questions of the community. I will revert (undo) this edit. |

|
| 46498509 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a farm in the middle of a road. I expect that a farm will on the land at one side of the road. We are very fussy about copyright, taking stuff from a web site without permission is not the best. |
|
| 46476309 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI think you may have been trying out the editor and saved it by mistake. Even the lovely Liverpool doesn't have a desert on the outskirts. Would you like me to revert (undo) your edit? |

| 46470133 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the new details. I see you have added parks. Not everything that is a green space gets tagged as a park. The sports fields in particular are probably better tagged as a recreation ground. The individual pitches can then be drawn and tagged as leisure=pitch with a sport=x... |
| chillly | Also, has the fire station now been turned into part of the green space? |
| supptora | Corrected those bits, but I'm unsure on adding the pitches as they're often not very clear/well managed. |
| chillly | Just add what you feel you want to. More detail is good but if you make a mistake it can always be changed later. Any buildings you want to add create a lot of context for other features.However, be careful.Editing can be addictive! |
| supptora | Thanks. Haha, I'll try to not get too ahead of myself! |

|
| 46425115 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have tagged the end of a road as Black Cat Motorcycles. I suspect that business isn't on the road, but in one of the buildings around the road. You might like to add a point to where the business really is and add the business details to that. HTH |
|
| 46394268 | chillly | I suggest that the footway joins Delamere road, so it should join the road by sharing a point on it. This allows router software to suggest a walking route using your new path. HTH |
|
| 46394220 | chillly | Welcome to OSMWe generally don't add footpaths beside roads as separate entities. We use the sidewalk tag on the road to describe them instead. |
|
| 46378633 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThe landuse=farm tagging you have removed is rather out of date because it was ambiguous. We now use landuse=farmland for example on fields, both arable and pasture. We use landuse=farmyard for the area around farm buildings. HTH |

| alicecaddis | It is a road but not a through road, looks better now, thanks. |
|
| 46348301 | chillly | The line you have draw is intended to be a footpath, from your edit comment. You need to add tags to describe it - probably highway=footway. Footpaths are connected to other routes, such as the roads. This allows routers to describe routes using the footpath.If you need help, please ask |

| 45594978 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have changed something named as Compton Terrace Gardens from being tagged as a garden to a park. Is this really true, or are you changing things to attract Pokémon? We want your edits but please add real stuff in the right place and described properly. |
| Romulus_Tiberius | I don't play pokemon. But English is also not my first language, and after just googling the difference between park and garden I tend to think that is more of a park then a garden. There's nowhere near enough plants or flowering plants to make it a garden, but at the same time maybe it's not big en... |
| chillly | OK, I accept your choice. We are seeing lots of new mappers simply adding parks to play a game, that's why I asked. I hope you find more detail to add in your area. |
| BCNorwich | Hello Compton Terrace Gardens are actually gardens, they happen to be used like a park. That's why they are called and signed as gardens. Originally they were for the private use of people living in the terrace's, please see :- http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.asp?ID=ISL02... |
|
| 45595213 | chillly | You have added a park. Is it really there? It certainly covers gardens and even houses. Please be more accurate drawing stuff. Please only add real stuff in its proper place and properly described. |
|
| 45595073 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a park over the top of an existing pitch and putt area. We welcome your changes, but please only add real stuff in their proper place and properly described.Would you like me to remove your extra park? |
|
| 45593515 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have been trying out the editor and saved the doodle. Would you like me to clean up the doodle for you? |
| Jakestephenson9 | what is a doodle |
| chillly | The park (the Batts) you drew is not a sensible area, it has lines crossing each other and looks a mess. It will not stay on the map as it is. |
| Jakestephenson9 | In which case can you clean it up please |
| chillly | I've removed the overlaps and tried to estimate the eastern end of the park. If I got that wrong you might like to adjust it.If you have questions about OSM please feel free to ask |
|
| 45593757 | chillly | Is this for real, or are you just attracting pokémon? |
| Jakestephenson9 | this is for real. There is an area of land called the ghyll, after the street, which is a park and is usually used for dog walking. I have no idea why this was included inside the golf course as there is barbed ire indicating the start of the golf course after the ghyll |
| chillly | OK, Thanks for the detail |

| 45593927 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added something with a name but you have not added any info about what it is. Is it a shop, an office, a tourism business ... ? It will display much better with the right description. You can address details too so people can find it. |
|
| 45576006 | chillly | Hmmm, really a path? We don't draw paths next to roads, we use the sidewalk tag. |
|
| 45575898 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIt looks as though you were trying out the editor and save your doodles by mistake. I'll delete your doodle for you. If you want to add stuff please make sure it is a real thing, in the right place and correctly described. |
| chillly | Looking again, the paths are there, but your edit overlaps multiple paths which looks a muddle. How would you like to sort this out? |
|
| 45575735 | chillly | You have added a strange footpath here. Please make sure you add real stuff, at the right place and correctly described. I will delete this path. |
|
| 45575676 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have changed Murden way to be footpath. Is this a mistake? |

| 45575193 | chillly | Your edit looks a bit muddled. The area crosses itself (never good) and there's no tags to describe what it is. If you area trying to add a carpark (as per your comment) you need to add a carpark tag. If you need help, feel free to ask. |

| 45571306 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the edit. You have drawn paths in quite a small space. I wonder if others would recognise the paths, or is the whole area just a pedestrian area? |

|
| 45530667 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You have added Limeside park over the top of a recreation ground. You have changed Coalshaw Green into a park when it is a recreation ground. Do you need any help cleaning these up?Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |
| DonBelfit | Hi there, Curious to how you mean "cleaning these up"? I assume that there being football pitches and tennis courts on these parks is causing some sort of conflict?Any help would be appreciated, I only added/changed those two parks as that's what they are to the local area.Thanks |
| chillly | Maybe the names are not clear. A recreation ground is an area of green space with sports pitches on it. A park is an area of green space. You added a green space over a green space. That was what I thought you might like to tidy up. The pitches are fine in a park or a rec. I suspect you want to maxi... |
| DonBelfit | It's entirely up to yourself to delete what you feel is inappropriate. |
| chillly | You have sorted out Limeside Park, thanks. I will leave the other park as a park not a rec - your choice is based on your knowledge and that is always very useful.Happy mapping |
|
| 45561077 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the details. In Rawcliff Bridge you seem to have added a small park within the area of a recreation ground? Did you mean to do that? |
| Spazbadger | Hi, and thanks :) Its a playground/kids park that is fenced off. I wasn't 100% "park" was the right thing to class it as but it is different to the rest of the surrounding area. (hope that makes sense!) |
| chillly | There is a tag for a playground (leisure=playground). That would be better I think.Are you Pokémon hunting? There have been a lot of new editors adding parks, footpath and water to attract pokémon, but no one is sure if Niantic are actually loading this new data or just using an ol... |
| Spazbadger | Ah i see! I've changed it now to playground.Ha ha, is it that obvious ;) Yes, i'm hoping it means more Pokemon spawns in an otherwise pretty empty area. But if not, as you say the map benefits anyway :) |

| 45532611 | chillly | These doodles have been deleted. You doodles have cost volunteers time to check and correct. Please don't add anymore made up stuff. Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |
|
| 45532769 | chillly | Welcome to OSMI see you have added a path. You should probably join it to Rufus Close, which may need nudging to a more accurate place.Joining up will make router on phones work better.Pokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |
|
| 45532478 | chillly | Why have you made this vandalism? let me guess, you're a Pokémon seeker.If you made any more junk edits I will block your accountPokémon edits need to be correct, accurate and real places to work. |
|
| 45532345 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.The path you have added probably joins to the Balaclava road. If you join it to the road it will help routers work better for pedestrians. |
|
| 45531610 | 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 |
| pizzadog0123 | 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. |
| 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 ... |
| chillly | We are all volunteers and we value the OSM map a lot, we are pretty upset about the junk edits. |
| pizzadog0123 | 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. |
| chillly | Thanks, good luck. |
|
| 45532049 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the detail. You could add all the detail you describe in your comment as details if you want to. |
|
| 45531854 | 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 |
| trigpoint | I have tagged this from memory, will check sometime or NWillowsrough can confirm.Cheers Phil |

|
| 45529709 | 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.

| GinaroZ | 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 | 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. |

| 45452339 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou have added a meadow. This seems very unlikely. Meadows are very special places in the UK. It might be a garden or a small park. |
| Sesame54 | Two have recently been planted, they are "mixed garden meadows". They were planted by Tower Hamlets Homes as part of their bio diversity plans. They include bee hives, "insect hotels" and natural wildflowers flowers. |
| chillly | OK, not a real meadow, but close enough. We are having problems with people adding green places that are not real as part of a computer game - hence the question. Happy mapping |
| Sesame54 | Thankyou. I will continue to make changes - I've added paths and will map the rest of the gardens if that's ok? There is another meadow to the south west of the building, the rest are normal gardens, except for a small rock garden. There is an old well (a brewery was situated in this location bef... |

| 45452213 | chillly | Welcome to OSMHas the brownfield site really been redeveloped as a park? |
|
| 45451341 | chillly | Welcome to OSMIs that really a park or are you just trying to attract Pokémon? The park (garden) overlaps the building. please add stuff carefully and only add real stuff. |
| BCNorwich | Removed fictional park placed atop existing buildings and private parking area. |
|
| 45451014 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Someone's garden is not a park. I will revert this edit. Pokémon will not visit phoney edits, please only add real stuff |
| chillly | Welcome to OSMGardens are not parks, Pokémon only visit real parks, you can't cheat by adding junk. |
|
| 45449932 | chillly | You have changed the tagging here to be unrecognised tags. parks are leisure=park, not landuse=park. I will change this. |
|
| 45449752 | chillly | HI,Adding meadows to a park is not a good idea. In the UK meadows are very special areas and never in a park. |
|
| 45450668 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThis is just a doodle isn't it. Please don't save doodles, it will get deleted (like I'm about to do with this) and won't attract Pokémon - they don't like junk. |
|
| 45450057 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You seem to have added a park over the top of existing stuff, including a recreation ground. You have also added water over a housing estate.Maybe you didn't realise your edit was saved for everyone to see. I will revert (undo) these edits. |
|
| 45449694 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You seem to have tried to add a park. You have used the wrong combination of tags. A park is usually leisure=park, you have added landuse=park. It will not be understood by the various tools that use OSM data. |
|
| 45449388 | chillly | Is the footpath you have added real? it appears to go straight through a tree. |
|
| 45449302 | chillly | Welcome to OSMYou seem to have deleted the woodland in te park. Did you mean to do this? I propose to revert (undo) your edit to get the woodland back. |
|
| 45445876 | chillly | OK, This has gone far enough. I am reporting you to the admins to get this vandalism stopped. |
|
| 45448073 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Doesn't the name 'The Rec' mean this is a recreation ground rather than a park? |
| Charkyem | It doesn't necessarily, it could just be a colloquial thing. I have a full-fledged Park with a name near me, but we alway called it "the rec" as kids. |
|
| 45447712 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You have added a park over the top of an existing park, with an unlikely name. I suspect you didn't realise that you were making a public edit. I will delete your extra park. |
|
| 45445705 | chillly | HiI think you saved your doodles without realising you were making it public. Please don't save doodles. I will revert (delete) your changes. |
|
| 45445320 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Thanks for the detail. Adding a point for the park is the simple way to mark the park. Someone has already drawn the park as an area, but not named it. You could have added the name you know to the area rather than adding a new point. |
|
| 45442712 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Is this really a park or are you chasing Pokémon? :-) |
|
| 45436588 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You seem to have added a garden over the top of an existing garden. Did you mean to do this? |
|
| 45410520 | chillly | welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. We only add names to objects that are verifiable names. Is the name really 'Path across Foulshields Bing'? Most paths have no names, they are just paths. |
|
| 45372530 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,Thanks for the detail, I have a couple of comments to help. It is best if footpaths are joined at both ends to the rest of te road or path network. That allows routers to find a route. You can add designation=public_footpath again to help routers. We only put names on things t... |
| BuFuScott | Thank you, now done and corrected. |
|
| 45349737 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.If a path is a mixed use cycleway & footway it gets tagged as a cycleway.I usually add foot =yes too. Almost all cycleways in the UK can be walked on too. Highway=path tends to be for informal paths in the UK, surfaced paths are usually highway=cycleway if cycling is allowed, ... |
|
| 45326220 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You have added a line to the map data, but it needs something to identify what it is. It could be a hedge (that's a barrier=hedge in OSM), or maybe a footpath (that's a highway=footway). I hope you add some more detail. |
|
| 45280201 | chillly | You have named an area 'tidal mud' This is wrong. please do not name things that do not have a real, visible name.The area has no tag to describe what it is you have mapped. Please ask your mapathon supervisor to help you get this right. |
|
| 45279019 | chillly | This edit looks a bit odd. There doesn't look to be any beach there - it looks like tidal mud to me. Adding the name ('tidal beach') is a really bad idea. That is not the name of the mud, so please don't name it.This is part of a mapathon. I hope the organiser is checking all this stuff |
| SK53 | This is tidal mud, I've gazed at it many times from the London Apprentice. |
|
| 45277715 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Is the name of that mud Lavender Wharf? You are the third new mapper in a few minutes all adding mud / beach to the banks of et Thames. Is there something going on? |
|
| 45277894 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.Is there really a beach there? It looks like a muddy tidal foreshore to me. You are the third new editor in a few minutes all adding beaches to the Thames. What is going on? |
|
| 45275478 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,The Minibugs nursery needs a building tag (building=yes would be fine). Without it you just see the outline, not a filled in building. |
|
| 45245193 | chillly | Welcome to OSMThanks for the detail. Somehow you seem to have added a second house over the top of the first. If you need any help sorting this out please feel free to ask. |
|
| 45223787 | chillly | This edit looks pretty odd. Why delete the park? and is there really a footpath like that? It seems an odd route and isn't at all clear on the aerial images. |

|
| 45143760 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,Thanks for this, you have added an area, but you haven't described what it is. You need to add highway=pedestrian to complete it. |
|
| 45201362 | chillly | Welcome to OSM.You have added Rainton Meadows as a single point. Thanks for that. There is another way to add areas of land like that, and that is as an area rather than a point. Someone has already done exactly that so your new point is doubling up the nature reserve. Please don't be put of... |
|
| 45199972 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,Thanks for the detail. We normally add a name tag when there is a sign naming something. Public Footpath is a useful sign but we add a special tag designation=public_footpath. |
| BCNorwich | Yes Welcome, what you've actually added is a duplication of an existing way. It's been on the OSM database for several years and is on the Vespucci map. As such it adds nothing extra to the database (except for several of your new descriptions, which I might argue about), thus it ought to be removed... |
|
| 45199889 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,You seem to have added a bit of a crude, overlapping footway. where there already is a cycleway. Perhaps you were experimenting and didn't realise you were saving to the public OSM. Do you need any help cleaning this up? |
|
| 45199846 | chillly | Welcome to OSM,You seem to have added a meadow over the top of a building. This seems rather unlikely. You might not have realised that you were saving to the public version of OSM. Would you like some help cleaning this up?If you want any help editing OSM please feel free to ask. |
| SK53 | There is indeed no meadow here: maybe a patch of grass in the hall courtyards, in which case landuse=grass, grass=amenity_grassland. However, I have generally avoided mapping grassy areas in the campus as it makes things rather complicated: and as it's a campus grass can be considered a reasonable d... |
|
| 45193557 | chillly | Hi,You need to add a tag to describe the object type, such as shop = supermarket or shop = convenience, so the correct symbol appears on the map |
|
| 45173107 | chillly | Hi, Welcome to OSM.The edit you made has been saved so everyone can see it, which I'm sure you didn't mean.I'll clean it up. |
|
| 45171756 | chillly | Hi Welcome to OSM,You seem to have added a footpath which meanders across a roundabout and a road. Did you mean to save this for everyone to see of were you practicing? Do you need any help with this? |
| BCNorwich | Yes welcome, I started to rectify the problems on some of the sections of path modified/added at the north of this changeset. Unfortunately I think the rest is better/easier if removed and started again. Then as they are pavements by the road separated by a kerb it could be better to map them as sid... |
