You are tagging ploughed fields as natural=mud which is not correct. Also the tracing accuracy is very poor. I am deleting these ways.

Also, there is a Bar and Restaurant located in the middle of the road?!?

Please remove earlier changesets and only comment on what this particular changeset is doing ie "Adding restaurant and bar"

Please use the correct format for the phone tag. For more details see - osm.wiki/Key:phone

This render is quite nice too - osm.org/#map=14/54.5092/-6.0408&layers=H

Ah, please understand that the OpenStreetMap is a database and has standards on how we input data. If you are confused there is information in the wiki. (ie osm.wiki/Names )

What you see on the OSM website is only a sample render of the database. Other people render the map in many, many different ways. For example you might be more comfortable with a map render on http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=14&lat=54.5097&lon=-6.04676&layers=B0000 which capitalises placenames.

But for input into the database, please try and stick to the established standards. This makes the data usable for anyone who wants to use it for whatever purpose they want :)

Again, what's with the capitalisation of names?

39626748 about 9 years ago

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.

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

35793617 over 9 years ago

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

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 )
