Added some footpaths south of Higham, Lancashire. Part of my normal walks, but not easy ones to follow. Used Memory Maps to check positions of Ordnance survey marked footpaths.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap, I’ve sent an email pointing out a few problems. May I also respectfully point out that it’s wrong to copy from Memory Map, they are OS maps an are copyrighted. Also the footpath lines on the OS maps are usually at least the intellectual data of a Local Authority and are therefore protected. Some LAs do allow use of definitive map data. Regards

Higham! I did a lot of Higham mapping! Thanks for adding more detail :)

Thanks mcld, I did see that you had made some edits, but when I went into your profile I couldn’t find the ones relating to Higham.

Your comments are noted BCNorwich, although I don’t agree with all of them.
I wanted to edit the stream that you suggested should be upstream to downstream, but when I used the link that you sent me osm.org/way/333398283#map=15/53.8106/-2.2919&layers=N I got a completely different view of it, compared to when I first made the edit. At this point I am confused and am unable to proceed any further.

Burt - regarding that stream, the link takes you to a view where the object is “highlighted”, which means that it shows up in orange. Is that what you mean about the different view?
When you’re looking at that view, you should be able to click the usual “Edit” button in the top-left of the website and edit the way. If you have any problems reversing it then give us a shout, and let us know which editor you’re using (iD? JOSM?)
