You added the pond OK, but it is not in a 'hole' in the wood. As I said before, multipolygon editing is not as straightforward as simple editing.

To add new nodes to an existing polygon, select the polygon. click and drag one of the centre markers between two existing nodes. The marker will become a new node, which you can drag to where you want it. You can repeat this as much as you need. To delete a node select it (not the polygon) and click the bin symbol.

Would you like me to create the MP?

We generally accept most stuff, but lately there's been a lot of junk stuff added by people trying to cheat at a game that uses OSM as it's map source. It is clear now that your edits are real and useful, sorry for the skepticism.

OK, interesting.

The wood has a 'hole' in it for the pond. So it needs a similar treatment as the other lake, only this time the wood is the 'outer' and the pond is the 'inner'. Draw the pond then select both the wood and the pond and merge them from the menu.

Everyone starting out makes mistakes. The great thing is everything can be changed and improved.

I hope you enjoy seeing your work for everyone else to see. If you need any help, feel free to send a message.

I've joined the lake and island in a multipolygon relation. I removed the address fields, they are only used for buildings. The tags on the lake have moved to the relation, as is the norm.

You have entered it without a space. It would normally have a space before the last three digits. I know more about postcodes than is good for me, I maintain the UK postcode layer for OSM. http://codepoint.raggedred.net

Hi,
You would be better to space the postcode as normal, SG9 0HF. If some uses the map data to search for a place, using postcodes is common, such as in a sat-nav. Badly spaced postcodes don't work

Thanks for the detail. You have chosen a slightly advanced thing to edit, that is an object inside an object. We use an advanced object called a relation to draw the lake with a hole (the island) in it.

What you have done is useful, would you like a hand incorporating the island with the lake?

Hmmm, would a deciduous wood really be called The Firs? Where are you getting these names from?

Welcome to OSM

Is the wood really called New Town? It seems an odd name for a wood.

That's fine, thanks for the explanation. From the aerial imagery that looks like a covered reservoir. If it is there are ways to map that ... :-)

Hi, Welcome to OSM.

It is always a bit worrying when a new editor's first edit deletes something. Your comment simply says 'deleted Well', but no explanation as to why. Was it closed? Was it never there? Could you explain a little please?

I would suggest that you draw the outline of the main house, traced from the aerial imagery, and add a tag building=house to that. Then add the name tag to that. An isolated house always looks better if the access road is drawn too. highway=service would probably be best with access=private if that helps.

Without the object to hang the name onto the name will not show up. The existing grey area could be changed - looks like private gardens to me, if so change that to leisure=garden, access=private to be more accurate.

Hope this helps

Welcome to OSM

You have added a point with a name but you need to add a tag to describe what it is. Is this a place, a business, a building ... ?

Welcome to OSM

Is there a really a bar right in the middle of a junction? :-) You need to find the building the bar is in and add the point to that building.

Please if you need help

Welcome to OSM

That looks much more like a football pitch than a park, but if, as the name you used implies, it is a village green then we have a tag for that too.

This edit has substantially altered the shape of the building to not match its real-life shape. I think this is to support a fictional story. This is not good practice. I expect this edit will be reverted (undone), and possibly the previous one too. See the comment on your previous edit for more info.

Welcome to OSM

Judging by the comment you added to this edit you are making changes to factual data to support a fictional story. This is not really what would expect OSM edits to be about. Using OSM to support a fictional event is great, but not if the real life stuff is changed to support the fiction.

If you want to put markers, areas etc as an overlay on an OSM map and share those with other you might like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr

I hope this helps.

Welcome to OSM

You have added a restaurant in the middle of a road junction. It would be better to add it on the building that the restaurant is in. Adding the name only in portuguese means it will not show up in the UK. You might like to add the name, as it is shown on the name board, in the name tag, once you have moved it.

Welcome to OSM

Thanks for this edit, detail is valuable. Unfortunately you have not quite got the tags right. We do not use the name tag to describe things, only to add a name. Gates and stiles need to be tagged with the barrier tag (barrier=gate for example).

You have added tourism=information tags. I guess you want to make it clear that this will help tourists, but what that really means is that this a tourist information display or office, not a stile.

Your information will be valuable, but they need a tweek to do that.
