---|---|---|---|---|---|
309341 | SomeoneElse | More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are 4 "Coleby Low Fields". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM. |

309343 | SomeoneElse | More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are a couple of "Harmston Low Fields". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM. |

309344 | SomeoneElse | More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are a couple of "Bassingham Fen". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist as individual locations. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM. |
|||
314451 | SomeoneElse | Duplicate "Scopwick Heath" localities seem to have been copied from an old OS map east and west of here. Does either actually still exist? |
|||
311526 | SomeoneElse | osm.org/node/2702393086 and osm.org/node/2702393087 here have both been added with a name of "Poultry Farm". I suspect that in reality they're not called this, that this is just a description that has been copied from some other map. Needs a proper survey to see if any name is visible on the ground. |
|||
311770 | SomeoneElse | My recollection suggests that there is not a separate footpath here; certainly not one from which you can't access the road at all. |
|||
313648 | SomeoneElse | The footpath here doesn't match GPS traces, doesn't join at one end and looks a bit angular and unlikely. Needs a proper survey. |
|||
314432 | SomeoneElse | Note that the Bing imagery is offset here (look at the traces to south and west for confirmation). The military bunker is in the correct location, the "hole in the field" (and presumably all the other traced-but-not-surveyed landuse locally) is not. Needs remapping with proper attention to imagery offset. |
|||
314434 | SomeoneElse | What actual evidence is there that the two things called "RAF Digby Other Ranks Family Quarters" east and west of here are actually _named_ that (as opposed to it simply being a description of who lives there). If I have a dog kennel in the garden and a dog called "Spot" lives in it it doesn't mean that the kennel is called "Spot". |
|||
314453 | SomeoneElse | The same logic as osm.org/note/314434 applies here - does this really have a _name_ of "RAF Digby Officers Family Quarters" or is this just a description of who lives here? |
