| 2 | 2025-06-17 10:55 | Tom267 ♦1 | Hey Chris, thanks :) And it's part of Widbrook Woods, but the part with the footpath and other paths is owned by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and always open. The bits removed are a private woods/garden that is partly private and then other bits used for Girl Guides/Scouts etc so not publicly a... | |
| 3 | 2025-06-19 18:35 | chris_debian | Hi, Tom.Apologies for the delay in replying, work's been manic.Thanks for explaining, that sounds sensible. I think the problem is, if the paths exist, people may try to use them, whether or not they are in the map. If they're established paths, I would be inclined to keep them in ... | |
| 4 | 2025-06-19 19:25 | Tom267 ♦1 | Hey Chris, No need to apologise at all and good question about the signs on the ground etc. Some of the area are fire breaks rather than paths and some are garden/cut grass areas that arean't paths at all. There are 'private' type signs but people do tend to ignore them if they th... | |

Thanks for flagging this; I can see a case for Recreation Ground and Stadium.Stadium="A major sports facility with substantial tiered seating."Recreation Ground="An open green space for general recreation, which often includes formal or informal pitches, nets and so o... | |

| 2 | 2023-06-24 11:05 | chris_debian | Hi, I'm thinking I may have to try revert all my NZ changes, as it's not as obvious to me, from imagery, what the different road types are.Thanks,Chris | |
| 3 | 2023-06-27 05:28 | ❤️🔥 ♦366 | hey, sorry for the delayed reply. I had a brief look at this maproulette challenge, and it seems like every single "missing highway" in the maproulette is actually a private driveway or farm track. so this is probably a useful challenge, but i would suggest to tag everything as a drive... | |

| 2 | 2023-05-14 13:10 | chris_debian | Andy, I completely agree; I have no idea what happened here, good spot! Tagging amended.Many thanks,Chris. | |

Rest areas, as found in France which this tag is intended to represent do not really exist in the UK.Would you really stop here, expect to sit at a table and enjoy lunch while the kids run around?Please revert, this and other simila... |
| 2 | 2023-03-13 21:04 | chris_debian | Hi, Phil.Thanks for your message. The wiki says:"A [W] rest area is place along a road, usually a motorway or dual carriageway, where a driver can stop to have a rest.Unlike highway=services, rest areas don't have places to buy fuel, but they may have picnic tables, garbage bin... | |
| 3 | 2023-03-14 16:19 | trigpoint ♦2,373 | The wiki provides a reasonable description of a rest area, however extending that to a layby is going a bit far.In a layby you are unlikely to get toilets or picnic tables, although you may get a bin if you are lucky For some reason the UK never did proper rest areas, as you find in France, ... | |
| 131966724 by chris_debian @ 2023-02-01 14:48 | 1 | 2023-02-14 17:52 | GinaroZ ♦1,280 | You've tagged this the wrong way about, should be highway=construction + construction=footway |
| 2 | 2023-02-14 18:45 | chris_debian | Thanks for the heads-up, I'll try to revert the change, tonight.Chris | |
| 3 | 2023-02-14 23:49 | GinaroZ ♦1,280 | Well actually looking at it, seems like people are walking on the path and Strava's heatmap shows lots of activity - so it's probably back open since the edit 7 years ago! | |
| 131887115 by chris_debian @ 2023-01-30 15:56 | 1 | 2023-01-31 12:07 | gurglypipe ♦872 | Hi, are you sure about the edits to the RNLI museum and shop? The tagging of the area and the node now looks confusing: both are tagged as museums; and while the node is also tagged as a shop, it has alt_name= and designation= which imply it’s a museum. |
| 2 | 2023-01-31 12:42 | chris_debian | Hi,I thought the tagging was confused, but my intention wasn't to worsen the situation. Do you think the change should be reverted, or something else? I appreciate your feedback.Chris. | |
| 3 | 2023-01-31 13:02 | gurglypipe ♦872 | Heya, probably simplest just to do a bit of research (either a local survey or looking at the museum/shop website) and do another edit to separate out the tagging a bit more based on what the research says.My guess would be that the area should be the museum, with most of the address and name ta... | |
| 4 | 2023-02-03 00:34 | gurglypipe ♦872 | I went ahead and made those changes in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/132023172 | |

It looks like a riding arena (typical size), and according to the wiki riding arenas should be tagged as pitches, comparehttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=pitch#Riding_arena... |
| 2 | 2023-01-11 10:36 | chris_debian | Hi,Thanks for your message. I looked at the Wiki page, but must have misinterpreted it. I'll revert the change today, when I'm out of meetings.Thanks, again.Chris | |
| 3 | 2023-01-11 13:55 | Hufkratzer ♦751 | Feel free to improve the wiki if it is unclear. | |
| 121806686 by chris_debian @ 2022-06-01 10:58 | 1 | 2022-06-02 14:58 | DaveF ♦1,564 | HiThese entities already have a valid tag of surface=sand. You added an unnecessary, confusing & duplicating tag of natural=sand. Please don't assume Id validation is accurate. Id developers already removed it for fairways & tees. Unsure why they didn't do it for bunkers. |
| 2 | 2022-06-02 16:05 | chris_debian | Thank you, Dave; I'm sorry. I wrongly made the judgement that an updated tag would be more useful to the community.Chris :-( | |
| 92229819 by chris_debian @ 2020-10-09 10:33 | 1 | 2020-10-09 15:49 | JezCrow ♦150 | Hi chris_debian,You've changed the tagging of way 44884022 from sidewalk=left to sidewalk=both, As this is one side of a dual carriageway this seems unlikely.Also, why have you changed the petrol station (with convenience store) at node 2795645554 to a supermarket? It was still a petrol s... |
| 2 | 2020-10-09 17:24 | chris_debian | Thanks, He's.Sounds like something weird has happened, there. I'll have a look first thing tomorrow morning. If you have first hand knowledge, and get a chance before the morning, please change the edits.Most perculiar.Thanks,Chris | |
| 86313106 by chris_debian @ 2020-06-07 16:29 | 1 | 2020-06-14 18:52 | RobJN ♦77 | Hi Chris. I had to revert part of this edit as it made the whole of the bus station land area a building. Be careful using those iD automatic fixes as they can result in unexpected changes. |
| 2 | 2020-06-14 20:54 | chris_debian | Hi, Rob.Thanks for your message. In the ID editor, it said the tag was deprecated, and gave me the option to update it. My apologies.Sorry,Chris | |
| 3 | 2020-06-14 23:30 | RobJN ♦77 | No worries. I like what the iD developers are doing but from time to time they get things wrong too. Openstreetmap can be complex even for those working with it every day!In this case the problem with iD was already spotted (27 days ago) and we're just waiting on the next version of iD to b... | |
| 82620205 by chris_debian @ 2020-03-25 16:48 | 1 | 2020-03-26 10:17 | Colin Smale ♦319 | please resurrect the place node for Corsham https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/272642178 and add it back to the admin boundary. be careful when deleting things - you need to be 110% certain it is not being used! |
| 2 | 2020-03-26 11:11 | chris_debian | Hi, Colin.Thanks for pointing this out, i'm not sure how I missed it. To my regret, i'm struggling to see how to revert the change.Chris. | |
| 3 | 2020-03-26 11:20 | Colin Smale ♦319 | No worries Chris, I will fix it for you (this time!). Reverting changes is always a bit messy. JOSM has a plugin to assist with reverting a changeset, but there is a bit of a learning curve. In this almost trivial case there may be an easier route using Potlatch V1 which can expose deleted objects. ... | |

(I note the riverbank tag is used more often worldwide).Kind regards, Jez |
| 2 | 2020-03-03 10:27 | chris_debian | Hi, Jez.I was checking around that area, and ID flagged the tag as being deprecated. It suggested this change, so I thought that would be more accurate than a deprecated tag. Please amend if you think something else would be a better fit.Cheers,Chris. | |
| 71191248 by chris_debian @ 2019-06-12 18:35 | 1 | 2019-06-12 23:22 | DaveF ♦1,564 | HiDid you mean this to be commercial? Better a highway=service, area=yes?If the buildings are offices a 'commercial' area should be drawn to the extent of the whole grounds (& realign the residential area) |
| 2 | 2019-06-13 14:47 | chris_debian | Hi, Dave.I think your solution is probably best. The group of buildings that I added, are let out as commercial office space. The area you commented on is essentially a large tarmac expanse, which would be best described as a 'drive'. I couldn't see how to do this, so marked it as... | |

I see that there are two post offices mapped almost opposite each other here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/575041754 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/319630623 . Presumably there is only one in reality.Do you know which is cor... |
| 2 | 2018-04-09 16:25 | chris_debian | Hi, Thanks for the message. I have deleted the node near to the Pear Tree pub, as this was a duplicate. Hopefully this should replicate an all layers, soon.Cheers,Chris. | |
| 46932440 by chris_debian @ 2017-03-17 16:07 | 1 | 2017-03-17 18:21 | DaveF ♦1,564 | Hi ChisI tweaked the church recently but guessed at it's location. Is it in the right place?https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/712751951#map=19/51.42239/-2.22225 |
| 2 | 2017-03-17 18:28 | chris_debian | Hi, Dave.Position is great, but I'm 99% sure the church is now dis-used. I think the uncertainty can be left until the new housing estate replaces it!Cheers,Chris. | |
| 46505236 by chris_debian @ 2017-03-01 21:21 | 1 | 2017-03-02 20:17 | trigpoint ♦2,373 | Hi, not sure how closely you were looking here, but the smaller roundabout is clearly a mini-roundabout. |
| 2 | 2017-03-03 09:32 | chris_debian | Hi, trigpoint.Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've done some reading, and it seems that a mini-roundabout is frequently described as being a white painted circle, on the road, or a slightlyraised white bump, in the road. Having reexamined this roundabout, for it's constructio... | |
| 3 | 2017-03-03 21:25 | trigpoint ♦2,373 | The definition of a mini-roundabout is not necessarily painted white, but it needs to be traversable. At least one in Oakengates is cobblestones.This one is very definitely a mini-roundabout, and painted white, so I have corrected it. | |
| 46402324 by chris_debian @ 2017-02-25 20:29 | 1 | 2017-02-27 14:36 | Chris Fleming ♦374 | How do you know this is a roundabout? I think it's just a road that ends with a circle? |
| 2 | 2017-02-27 20:17 | chris_debian | Thanks, you are right. Not sure how I missed this. I'll remove the tag, when I get back to my PC.Thank you,Chris. | |
| 3 | 2017-02-27 21:40 | Chris Fleming ♦374 | Thanks! | |
| 46402966 by chris_debian @ 2017-02-25 20:56 | 1 | 2017-02-25 21:01 | Hjart ♦4,116 | This is not a roundabout and should not be tagged as such. |
| 2 | 2017-02-26 07:58 | chris_debian | Thanks, Hjart. I'll remove the tag, shortly.Chris | |
