Why did you delete the give way node?

I was just on that section of road today and there is no actual speed limit signs. Approaching the roundabout from Enniskillen side the only sign is a warning roundabout ahead. Even when you get on the dual carriage way there are no signs saying 70. Coming back the other way from dual carriage way to Enniskillen there are warning signs saying Reduce Speed now, but the rumble strips force you down to about 30-40mph. Heading for Enniskillen, there was merger signs for the two lanes coming off the roundabout into one lane, but no speed signs. Feel like tweeting PSNI for comment?

When I was learning to drive, any area that was lit by overhead lights, was assumed to be 40mph unless otherwise stated ie 20mph around schools or 30mph in built up areas

159063799 7 months ago

Pretty sure a lot of these areas are lit, therefore speed limits are reduced to 40mph. There are also rumble ramps coming off the dual carriageway onto the roundabout, but no physical speed limit signs (way:262097519). These sections were purposely not tagged because the actual speed limit is not stated.

Is this the roads actual name? If not, name should just remain blank

I was under the impression that we used this tag to indicate a dead end (you would need another mode of transport to continue ie a ferry) and was to help routing. Part of the road is public, therefore has an official road name, maintained by the Roads Service or whatever they call themselves these days.

Pretty sure this was discussed with OSMIE members at the time and what I have always used to indicate a particular road is a "dead end".

Last time I was in the area it was definitely a locked cabinet they were operating from.

The Erne Boat Hire company has a locked cabinet here they operate their business from. It's not really a building, more of a cabinet. Looking at their website it looks like they have upgraded to sheds on the pier a bit further up - https://erneboathireltd.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/online-booking-img.jpg

Why did you remove the wooded area?

The main issue here is that the name is already in the relation for the island, see - osm.org/relation/3998505
If you look at the history of that relation - osm.org/changeset/25084499 I was putting these islands into the corresponding Civil Parishes, which is very complex and takes a lot of time. You can also see that my sources are Bing, GSGS 3906.
GSGS 3906 ( https://maps.nls.uk/os/25k-gb-1940-43/ ) is a scanned copy of a map generated for the War Office and was donated to the OpenStreetMap Ireland community for the townlands project. Each of these scanned maps were painstakingly rectified on Mapwarper and used to trace almost all of the townlands. For this particular island, this is the map we used - https://mapwarper.net/maps/1870

We have invested a lot of time and effort to produce a licence free map and can not allow it to become polluted by copyrighted material.

If you want to help improve naming objects in OSM, may I suggest you use the likes of mapillary.com or kartaview.org which allow you to take photographs of your local surroundings and upload them under an open licence. You and other mappers can then use these to source the names, such as road names, speed limits, building names etc.
Also, bear in mind that OSM is a database of geo information. It is not a "map" in the common meaning of the word. People and organisations can use the data to create their own map or style. A few examples are available here - https://openmaptiles.org/styles/ I particularly like this one, due to the addiction of contour lines and bold placenames - https://www.maptiler.com/maps/#topo//vector/12.62/-7.81637/54.51052

No, I agree with you that there are Christian burials here. But I just want to point out that many of these sites were in use before Christianity arrived in Ireland . Your involvement in the local community would be appreciated. We surely have the same goal here, in making OSM the best map it can possibly be. I propose that it be dual tagged as religion=christian;pre-christian and a note explaining the situation.

1) PRONI Ordnance Survey of NI Historical Maps Editions 1 is a copyrighted source and using this as source is a breach of their copyright as are most of the edits by this user!
2) NoelB is an experienced mapper in the area and has out of copyright maps available.
3) The DWG need to review all edits done by the user impey as if they breach copyright, they need to be removed from the database ASAP

What are you doing??!? The island has a name tagged on the relation!

1) The PRONI Historical Maps are copyrighted (see the agreement that must be accepted before use - https://imgur.com/tgHPpPJ ) and therefore CAN NOT be used to source information.
2) The Islands DO have a name, but are tagged within the relation. If you do not understand how relations work, please ask someone and learn how to work with them. There are some really good how-to videos on YouTube which show how townlands are made up. See - https://www.openstreetmap.ie/projects/townlands/
3) It is good practice to read and respond to previous changeset comments, like the ones other members have been asking regarding issues going back months now. I asked you about your source of the street names in Ederney in May and you have ignored me. Copying from Google Maps/StreetView or PRONI/LPS/OSNI is not allowed. Copyright infringement is a serious issue and could destroy the hard earned work a lot of us have put in to creating an open map.
4) A change-set comment of "Update" is basically useless!! Comments should be as detailed as possible and INCLUDE the source of the information (so we don't have to ask you!)
5) There are a set of common practices regarding naming in OSM. For example, we don't use abbreviations like St, Rd or Ave and spell it out completely. The same is true for names of churches, ie Saint Patrick's. We also tag the religion, so don't include it in the name, which is why NoelB is asking you why you are adding (RC) to the names of churches in your "updates".
