Changeset When Comment

Hi! And welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Your "test" removes some steps though, can you explain why you removed them? Please use descriptive change set comments, so we all can see what your intention was.

All data that you edit goes to the database immediately, so please be careful when editing.

Let me know if you have any questions (here, or through the messaging system), and I'm happy to help.

cheers,
Derick

Charteris Sports Centre was already mapped as a way: osm.org/way/60667948#map=19/51.53861/-0.19859

I saw you added data there, so no need to have this extra node as well. I've removed it.

Is this tree really in the middle of the road? I would guess it's on the North side, but can check later in my lunch break.

Hi!

That changeset comment was misleading. It's nowhere near the Sports Centre! :-)

I've also tagged this new place as a shop, as without it, it won't show up on the map.

Let me know if you have any questions.

cheers,

Just keeping you on your toes ;-)

Maps.me didn't show it originally and only after I had added it it showed two. Can't remove the added node with maps.me so will sort it out when I get home.

Hi!

Thanks for adding these. I noticed that you had changed Lecky House into a multi-polygon. I don't quite know why that happened, but I've restored it to just a normal building.

Let me know if you have any questions!

cheers,

Hi,

OpenStreetMap is not a business directory, so please don't rename streets with your business name. We don't map business that do not have a physical presents in the form of an office that people can *visit*. If you have an office where people can obtain your services in person, please map your business (with address (street, housenumber) at that exact location.

I have reverted this change, as it obliterated the correct street name.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

cheers,
Derick

Thanks for updating your business, but were you meaning to delete the station building too?

Hi!

Did you mean to delete this terrace of buildings?

cheers,

Hi!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please not that you're editing on the live database, which is not really suitable for tests.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!

Sorry, but St. Pancras is an existing location. What made you remove this from the map?

Hi!

Somebody mentioned this new building on the IRC channel, to point out that it looked like it was drawn from a Bing projection. In general, OSM should ignore the slanted buildings that imagery often shows, and instead, make sure that buildings are mapped as if you would look at them from straight above. In this case, that would probably mean that the lookout points should hover over the base of the building. And we also do not tend to draw lines on the outside of buildings either.

cheers,

Why is this a neighbourhood and not a suburb? What is the source of all these suburbs and neighbourhoods?

36473696 over 9 years ago

Again, what is the source of this one? Nobody in the area would call this Maida Hill.

36473772 over 9 years ago

Sorry - what is the source of these "Districts"? I live in the area and nobody really refers to this as "West Kilburn".

31 is also the same address as the Tesco Express a bit further to the east...

35908044 over 9 years ago

Can we visit you at this location, or is it just an office? From what I understand, the odd numbers are on the other side of the road (atleast they were last night!)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! :-) Thanks for adding this bit of the world. If you don't mind, I have a few pointers for you:

- Please try to close building ways into a full "circle" - and tag them as "building=yes" (or if you want more specifically as "building=residential"

- Roads and ways are usually not tagged with "addr:street" but instead with just "name".

- Roads should also have a type. A service way behind the building that you added is most likely a "service road", so it should be tagged as "highway=service".

I've fixed the above things from your changeset, and I'd be more than happy to look at future additions you make (plenty of missing addresses ;-) ) if you so desire.

Thanks for adding this again, and welcome!

cheers,
Derick

I noticed you have moved the Westbourne Green note further North and changed it to "Maida Vale". Maida Vale was already mapped (osm.org/node/27467185#map=16/51.5313/-0.1881) and now because of your change, it's duplicated.

"Westbourne Park" is also definitely used for the area where you moved the node from - albeit perhaps a little further to the South then where it was.

Would you mind move the node back to the original location and changing it back to "Westbourne Park"?

What did you change with this changeset? Can you please use changeset comments?
