I (accidentally) left this nursery school here a while ago when doing landuse nearby, I believe it was overlapping with one of the other schools next door. Does this exist? If so, where should it be?
2~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS

I just went there. It does exist.
3~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS

They wanted to make sure this was "legit" before I could do anything. I gave them the "https://openstreetmap.org" and my email address.
4~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS

And told them my OSM username. I have put their email address on the map, so if anyone has any enquiries, they can drop them a line.
5~ 11 months agocommentedceirios

It doesn’t exist in the middle of the field though! Where is it on the site?
6~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS
♦31
I wanted to get a map from them so I could do it comfortably from home instead of squinting at my phone in bright sunlight, and they wouldn't let me into the nursery. I turned left after going through the gate, then I turned right and was lead to press a button to summon the staff to open the gate. They were very suspicious and had never heard of OSM before. I had to give them the OSM website URL and my email address. They asked to speak to my "boss" lol.

another gate* I mean
8~ 11 months agocommentedceirios
♦1,899
Yeah, it’s for safeguarding reasons - these are real places with children in. Staff can’t just let people in. I never set foot into schools or nurseries and only map what I can see from passing by or aerial imagery.
9~ 11 months agoclosedceirios
♦1,899
i've moved the nursery school to replace the "special needs school" having checked if the latter existed on Edubase, but i'm still unsure. that being said, NEVER walk onto schools/nurseries, or even hospitals and carehomes to survey. These places are meant to be kept off from the public, you're a stranger to everyone on site, and as you said, they may not have heard of OSM. The staff are just doing their jobs. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_techniques#Privacy

Hey Jacob, While this is unrelevant to the original note, quick sidenote; See also - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Private_objects If you have mapped any objects which are prohibited(/discouraged), or used incompatible sources, i.e. proprietary (copyright) such as Google Maps or with other usage restrictions prohibiting use in OSM, you should request for your edits to be reverted. You can do so by contacting the Data Working Group (DWG), see https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group#I.27ve_seen_a_problem.3B_what_should_I_do.3F See also - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility If you have mapped any private objects, or used external sources and are unsure how/if you are allowed to map them, please contact your local community https://openstreetmap.community/ or open a thread on the forums https://community.openstreetmap.org/ If you are unsure if you can use a source, or have OSM-related questions regarding privacy / child protection you may contact the Licensing Working Group (LWG) https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_Working_Group Regards, Daniel

I will would describe that pitch as unlit as not enough light to "use" it. If it was a path I would probably say lit for the same reason
5~ 11 months agocommentedceirios
♦1,899
I would say this is unlit because it lacks floodlights that are needed to make it playable on.

Should this be called "Rock Cottages"? The sign says "Rock Cottage" but "Cottages seems more appropriate. Can't judge as to name:cy as I speak very little Welsh.
2~ 11 months agocommentedceirios
♦1,899
The name:cy should be what is written on the sign, if there is anything there. Don't make it up if it's not signed.

This town has a lot of out of date building (i.e. business) opening times.
2~ 1 year agocommentedJacobFS

I believe business owners should take some responsibility with keeping them up-to-date.
3~ 11 months agocommentedSharko_J

Why don't YOU survey them instead?
4~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS
♦31
Because I think people who own a for-profit business should pay for things that benefit them themselves instead of relying on the community to serve them. I realise that not many people know about OSM around here. So I think we should have a publicity drive. Make flyers/posters and put them up on billboards. Try to educate local businesses and local people on the benefits of OpenStreetMap and open data/open source in general. Tiago likes organising things around the town. Maybe he can help.
5~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS
♦31
This is a particularly egregious example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/656432 Not saying all businesses are like that, but still.
6~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS
♦31
A few people have pointed out to me that businesses won't think it worth their while to update the map until it gets popular, and putting opening times will help it become popular. So, I think I will put in some effort myself actually.
7~ 11 months agocommentedJacobFS
♦31
Still though, the businesses are the ones with inside info, so it would make more sense for them to keep them up-to-date.

This feature (or small collection of features) is either disconnected from the routing network or only connected to it via a feature that few applications consider routable.

To be clear, I know for a fact it is no longer a school campus because I was attending it during the move to Bro Dinefwr. What I'm not sure about is how it is used now.

This note is over 8 years old. It’s possible that the business may have changed locations, ownership, or even folded in this time and it’s up to contributors like you and me to check for the current details. I tried to look about a year ago and didn’t find anything conclusive.

I was mainly responding to the fact that an account called "Llandeilo Electrical Services" just added a note that said "Llandeilo Electrical Services" instead of learning how OSM works and adding their business themselves.
