Welcome to OSM

Thanks for the detail.

If you know the extent of the building work you can add that as landuse=construction. The area that has occupied houses becomes landuse=residential.

Welcome to OSM,

Thanks for the detail. If you have questions please feel free to ask.

Welcome to OSM

We are not a business directory. We map what is there. You have added you business description to nodes in the road. If you want to add your business in a way that will appear on the map, add a node over the building your business in is, add address and telephone details and add the business name as name=... I will remove the extraneous stuff from the road nodes, leaving you to add your business in the right place. If you need help, please ask.

Thank you for reinforcing my initial idea. I have checked, the area covered all of the houses and gardens and even touched the main road. Maybe there were ponds there in years past, but the aerial images show only houses and gardens with lawns now.

If you want to map real stuff that is present now, please do, but junk will be removed.

Hmmm, what about the five houses on a private road you plonked the pond onto?

I stand by junk.

Welcome to OSM.

You seem to have deleted stuff and and added junk to the map. If you are trying to attract Pokémon, you are wasting your time. They only use certified parks, paths and waterways.Imaginary ones are a waste of time.

I will delete this as junk.

Welcome to OSM,

You've added a meadow. A meadow in the UK is a very special place very carefully managed to allow wild flowers to grow. The area looks marked out with a football pitch. I would say that is a recreation ground or a park. Gettin the choice right greatly improves OSM and gives the map detail that no other map has. WOuld you agree that meadow is inappropriate? Would you like to change it (I can help or advise if needed)?

welcome to osm. You seem to have added an imaginary park, splattered over houses and roads. Pokémon do not come to imaginary stuff. I will remove this as junk.

Welcome to OSM, thanks for the extra detail.

The smaller pond you have drawn has an island in it. This is awkward for beginners to understand, we create an area with a hole (the island) in it. I'll create that so you have a reference for the future.

Welcome to OSM

You seem to have a drawn a pond that doesn't exist. Is this to attract Pokémon? Imaginary stuff doesn't work.

Please only add real stuff to OSM. I will remove this unless you can explain what it is.

Having reviewed this some more, I have reverted it. Please do not add junk to OSM.

Welcome to OSM,

You seem to have added a large pond that no one else noticed, even though that part looks well mapped. Is that really a pond? The aerial imagery doesn't show that.

Are you trying to attract Pokémon?

I am tempted to remove this edit - I'm not convinced this is a good quality edit. Am I wrong?

Welcome to OSM.

I see you have added a name to an existing recreation ground. You have added a point with a name, which is the simple way, you could also have added the name tag to the large recreation ground area. Names in OSM are always correctly cased, so I would expect to see Ripon park, not ripon park.

You have changed the school outline to now include gardens of nearby houses.

This is junk and will be removed.

Welcome to OSM.
drawing arbitrary rectangles of grassland is bonkers.

I'm guessing you are hoping to attract Pokémon, inaccurate mapping doesn't work, it gets checked and rejected.

Please do map real stuff, but map it accurately
