Hi Jez,

you added 6 trees with height=stump,
would you agree to remove the height and change them to natural=tree_stump?

thanks and good mapping :)
22024-05-04 09:53Jez Nicholson Thank you. Done. As you can probably tell, this is my local neighborhood and micro mapping playground

Did you deliberately use some of the tagging for the lifeboat station here? Data consumers did use it: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=lifeboat_station#projects .

Hi Jez, I've seen you have added some of the bike hangers in Brighton and tagged them as "amenity=bicycle_repair_station" due to lack of suitable other tags.

bicycle_repair_station is not a good idea for the bicycle hangers as these are usually stands which have bicycle related too...
22022-10-06 06:39Jez Nicholson Yeah, it was lack of tags in Vespucci whilst I was on the spot, I was going to change them when I got home.....and then forgot. :( Will do it now

Regarding this old way, are you sure it is a named alley? Is the footway next to it not an alley?

22021-11-26 14:11Jez Nicholson Hey Daniel,
Good point. Springfield Mews is a new mini-development of 4 houses squeezed between the railway line and the Open House pub. The street sign appeared during the building stage and I mapped it before knowing that it would just be a path. Changed to a footway.....What I don't know is...

"Blue plaque" is perfect.

1) There is nothing in the wiki page for blue plaque deprecating the tag. It is a perfectly valid tag which I chose with all due deliberation.

2) It IS a blue plaque in EVERY sense. It is a plaque. It is blue. It meets the criteria in the wikipedia artic...
22021-06-13 14:35Jez Nicholson Hi Brian, check out the Talk page of memorial=blue_plaque. Sure, we didn't get round to officially deprecating it...but I'm not really a fan of the tagging list 'officially' deprecating things. - Jez

The talk page is inconclusive either way. As far as I'm concerned, if the actual page says it's valid then it's valid, irrespective of anything on the talk page.

Both memorial=plaque and memorial=blue_plaque have the status "In use" so neither is more valid than the othe...

It's 99% the wrong plaque/place -- it's nowhere near the "Chapel of the Three Kings" or "Foster's Almshouses" see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/123978470
22021-06-05 11:29Jez Nicholson Oh! Thanks for spotting Neil. I must have been having an off day. OpenPlaque 55158 is clearly over near Christmas Steps. This one is John Foster's former house, but not sure what the inscription says. - Jez

I'm working on a UK project to get accurate data on Household Waste Recycling Centres. This location has a particularly long list of what it will accept (taken the Council's web page https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/recycling-centres/) and some will be new to OSM. I will review t...

Hi Jez - you edited the capacity of this one from 18 to 21.6 MW. The tag still says the source is REPD, but I presume you've a different source for that?

I don't know the true value myself - I notice that both of the REPD entries are for 18 MW and both were approved (in different years)...
22020-06-26 11:35Jez Nicholson Can't quite remember, but I think I got the value by looking at the planning applications and confirming that this is indeed 2308 and 5315 merged.

REPD says 3.1 MW for this one. Did you get 3.8 MW from another source?
22019-11-17 18:15Jez Nicholson Ah, looking at the history this feature already had 3.8MW on it. Repd has an estimate for power rating...it could be a figure from the builders

Hi Jez,

I think you've still got the restaurant tag active for Jamie's Italian. old_name=Jamie's Italian currently corresponds well with active mapping communities: Nottingham, York, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow & Brighton :-).

I generally do that if the place is obviously retail premises. I didn't do that for the Nottingham one because it's located in an old town house, so what it becomes next I don't know. Paul Smith next door doesn't really look like a shop from outside (not much changed from this ph...

22018-10-03 13:40Jez Nicholson Hi eric_

Hi Jez,
Thanks for your answer. As camera obscura POIs are probably a tricky case to map at a national level, it seems appropriate to leave it as it is right now. From my pov, another way to map them would be to use the description tag (e.g. description= Camera obscura) rather than the amenity one....

Neither construction nor proposed would be
correct at the current stage of the structure IMO. Just prefix the highway key with disused: or abondoned:

This said routing will not happen anyway as the access drives have been tagged acces=no.

addr:housename is not appropriate for a trading estate; addr:place may be right. Also the web site gives the information needed for addr:unit.

In addition, if it is possible to deduce the boundary, with reasonable accuracy , it would be useful to map the name and extent of the trading estate (as...

I'd put Premier as brand=Premier. It's a trading fascia owned by Booker Group (formerly a buying group IIRC). The shop is likely operated entirely by the folk behind the counter.
