Why did you capitalise the name from Lisburn to LISBURN?

I don't understand why you felt the need to edit this node in the first place. The name includes the names it is known as locally. You also moved the node into the river which is totally wrong as well.

Updating seamarks? How is deleting 40 nodes updating?

This is not a sea, its an inland waterway called Lower Lough Erne.

Is disused the correct tagging for this section? This section has been restored, complete with a train carriage and crossing gates.

Hi Riggwelter,

OSM is definitely a database and a very powerful one at that! Did you know that the OSM Ireland have custom maps?

You can see some of the maps we render here - http://www.openstreetmap.ie/resources/maps/

This is an example using our Irish Language layer showing hill shading/contours and townlands.

If you are interested in learning more about mapping in Ireland, why not come along to our IRC chatroom, details of how to connect are here - http://www.openstreetmap.ie/contact/

If no-one speaks for a while, just hang about. We are usually off doing other stuff but will respond when available to do so :)

Maybe it is worth studying that the local council serving the area refer to themselves as Derry City Council, see their website here - http://www.derrystrabane.com/Services/Contact-Us

You can also read lots of very interesting history regarding the naming dispute here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry/Londonderry_name_dispute

I dont see the confusion, the name is either Derry or Londonderry, people can choose which they want to use. Please revert the name change to Londonderry.

Phewwwwww That was some work!

Are you from this area? It would be really nice to capture more data in this area. There is an app for smartphones called Mapillary which allows you to capture images while you walk, cycle or drive. (www.mapillary.com) Its great for capturing data for OSM and also uses a compatible licence :)

I have aligned the building to what I can see on Bing images. Ive also added more buildings in the area. Do you know what religion Drum Gospel Hall is? Ive tagged it religion=christian, but it can be tagged further, ie denomination=methodist etc

We are however allowed to use Bing imagery to trace building and so forth, can you use Bing to trace this building?

Google in their copyright statement do not allow copying from either their Map or Streetview. Since you have used the Streetview product as a source of this information, you are breaching Google policy and also that of OSM, see the copyright link on the OSM website, here part of it for your convince "OSM contributors are reminded never to add data from any copyrighted sources (e.g. Google Maps or printed maps) without explicit permission from the copyright holders."

While it is extremely interesting and important for local communities to remember the past, OSM is about mapping what is currently here. This information should be moved to the Open Historical Map ( http://www.openhistoricalmap.org )

Hi Noah, welcome to OSM. Please be aware the OSM is a public map. House names such as "My House", "Bens House" and "Evan's Gafferooney" are of little use to the community. We are more interested in the street names, house numbers and Eircodes to be honest.

Where did house number 116 disappear to? Are you sure this is correct?

Why are you deleting townland boundary ways?

Can you please explain how you fixed them? As far as I can see you have actually broken them!

Fair enough the village/hamlet name might have been wrong, but why delete it?

Are you a local to this area? The road "Great Victoria Street" to which this junction joins, appears to have markings which would indicate traffic lights. I have added them, could you please review?

Apologies, the tag was supposed to be highway=give_way as from Bing I can see a giveway/yield markings on the road junction. I have corrected the tag, thanks for bring it to my attention.
