The "beach" doesn't really fall under the definition on the wiki. Maybe leisure=swimming_area would be more appropriate?

Looking at Bing, it's more meadow or water meadow (the area floods, not sure if it floods at this particular spot, given the weir). As there is a weir, I'm not sure if it is a leisure=swimming_area

Hi Victor. Thanks for fixing. Could you please, in a few words, explain what I did wrong exactly so I don't map incorrectly again?
Was it about having only one point on the 2 roads crossing?
22021-02-23 21:11VictorIE There's no 'wrong way' to do things, just certain things that make things complicated and ambiguous. One thing is that we are mapping using lines (ways) of objects that have areas.

@VictorIE can you tell me if this really is a castle - looks to be a house to me
22020-12-13 04:36VictorIE It is consistent with the wikipedia page, which has a photo.

It's in the style of a tower house. Appears to have modern renovations.

Note shadow is much longer than adjacent houses.

As to whether it is a tower or a castle is arguable. I think it's more than a tower.

I am not 100% sure that the new coding for the M50 from the motorway roundabout eastbound is correct. The signs show it as the R139 (June 2017). There is no reason why this section should be coded as motorway - can you verify with current and up to date road signs please? Thanks

Nice. But your goal should be sport=gaelic_games. If you change a freestyle tag into a deprecated one, it would have to be corrected again by somebody else.

Question again, is iD proposing gaelic_football? If so, we would need to file a bug report with iD.

sport=gaelic_football is deprecated. The correct tagging is sport=gaelic_games + gaelic_games:hurling=yes
gaelic_games:football=yes
etc.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dgaelic_games

I've seen the deprecated sport=gaelic_football coming mostly from iD and Potlatch users. Could there be an outdated preset in iD?

Sorry, I don't agree with that change (healthcare:speciality -> health:speciality).

The heathcare:speciality tag is the documented one and used 7613 times, vs 6 times for health:speciality.

Please revert that change, unless you have a very convincing argument to transition obkects to t...
22015-10-05 15:27VictorIE You're correct, my apologies. I was correct a group of mis-spelling sand seem to have put int he wrong spelling. Will sort this evening.

I'd much rather create a polygon for the city boundary than add addr:city to all the addresses in there...
