Hi! Thanks for your awesome work tagging so many solar panels - I've been trying to add more myself to keep the count up to date.
On this changeset I noticed a module count that looks several times too big. I'm not sure:

22025-05-11 09:32SK53 Hi,

No these look OK. Each group of modules is arranged as 4 rows of 10, so module count of 40 is correct. The idea of mapping each group separately is that it makes it much easier if one wants to convert them to areas.

At present a useful way of checking module counts is to draw lines along e...

Heya, I’m not sure it’s right to call Ribblehead a hamlet (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/513869708). I’ve always known it as referring to the area of moorland. One pub, one station and a handful of spread-out farms don’t make a hamlet.
22024-04-18 16:35SK53 Yeah, I'd agree it's a marginal call, but it appears to be in the address for the Station Master's House which is unlikely for a locality.

I moved the node closer to where OSGB have it (I.e. near the pub & station). I'd have thought 100 years or so there would have been a...

Unlikely but not impossible? Ribblehead might just be a special case of addressing.

The new location for the node looks fine to me. I agree that 100 years ago it would definitely have been considered a hamlet (probably with a population in the hundreds for a time, if you also count those who live...

ncc_tree_code = 158320

22024-01-28 18:55SK53 Yes, well caught : site_tree_no, sitename & tree_type should not be there. The ncc_tree_code is not necessarily a "ref" in OSM terms (it is not the same as the markers on the trees) and is there to allow checks for new trees etc.

Dear SK, the avalanche_protection features are still in place. Would you mind, if I change those to snow_bridge with underscore (as on the wiki :) and fence for barrier?
22022-12-10 16:57SK53 I suppose this is the consensus, I don't think they are fences though, even though they are distinctly barriers.

There are all sorts of odd tags with avalanche protection (passive) and (active) which I think can lead to confusion : e.g., showing CatEx as aerialways. There is a distinct prob...

♦408
Hmm, snow bridges are barriers, I found a lot, that were mapped fence, nothing else. What would you call this, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/684105108 - those are like fins, the mountain sides concrete/stone/walls, the valley side a steep slope. Are those "berms"?
42022-12-10 19:11SK53 Yes I think I would call them berms.

The one's I've mapped closest to this are in the Val St Antonien (and are very characteristic of Walser houses in that valley), and I did use berm (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Avalanche_protection#House_defenses_in_St_Antonien,_Graubunde...
52022-12-10 19:33SK53 I'm a little puzzled by these, because although they will disrupt an avalanche flow, they don't seem to be protecting anything on immediately downhill of the obstruction. Retaining wall is clearly wrong as one would expect a retaining wall to have the wall part to be on the lower side.
62022-12-10 20:02SK53 They are described as concrete wedges in this document: https://www.preventionweb.net/files/10851_avalancheprotection.pdf.

My mistake regarding the cornerhouse. Have moved the recently created Route One node back here. Food Standards have both the Blue Bell Upper Parliament Street and Route One Forman Street which is confusing. Expect they will deactivate the Blue Bell one.
32021-08-03 11:32SK53 Yeah, I actually surveyed this one! I think the Blue Bell always had two addresses. Certainly it had doors at both ends the only time I drank there, seemed a pleasant boozer back then.

Hi,

I've been looking at tagging, local to me, an arboretum. And I came across this as one of the earlier ones. Looks like it still is, combined with the cemetery. You have it tagged as a nature reserve... would arboretum not be more specific and appropriate?
22021-04-14 20:35SK53 Abney Park may have been an arboretum around 200 years ago, but certainly not now. Since the cemetery company ran out of cash (1970s IIRC) the place became quite wild with trees self-seeding and growing anywhere.
