Thanks for these updates. Keeping businesses up-to-date is a constant effort. I notice that this hairdresser now has a cuisine of chinese :-) Sweet & Sour haircut anyone? :-)

But seriously, your updates are very welcome.

Welcome to OSM.

I think you have a typo in the name (Chruch).

We have discussed your mechanical edits on the GB IRC channel. We are unhappy that you feel you can ignore the guidelines and ignore the community and just make your edits as you want. You would do much better to stop showing how smart you are with your keyboard and get outside and survey some *useful* local things near you. You might enjoy the fresh air, and it might help you understand that OSM is not a computer science project, but it is a collaborative community. Join the community or at least respect it.

You can't just mass edit based on what the wiki says!! The wiki gets changed at anyone's whim. You **MUST** discuss mass edits before you make them with the relevent community (in this case the GB community) and you **MUST** get theor agreement.

See osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct

Your edits may make sense, but you should expect that they are reverted until they have been agreed. Please do not make any more mass edits until they are agreed.

This looks like a mechanical edit. Where was this discussed?

38274367 over 9 years ago

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

I think your edit is interesting, but needs a small change. You have drawn the outline of the whole area of the meeting room and tagged it all as a building. You would do better to draw the outline of the real building as the building. You can draw the outline of the car park and tag that as a car park (amenity=parking).

I hope this helps.If you have questions feel free to reply.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the details.

I see you have added lanes=1 to the tertiary road. It looks to me that there are two lanes on the road, one in each direction. In the UK, most single carriageway roads are two lanes, so we rarely bother explicitly adding the lanes tag to these roads. Understanding what is and isn't "normal" is hard for people starting out with OSM, so I thought you might like some feedback.

I hope you add more detail and enjoy sharing your local knowledge with the rest of us.

Welcome to OSM.

I think you have added a name to an area of grass which was added by someone else. The grass overlaps an area of woodland - it can't be both woods and grass. You have added the name Forestry Commission to the grass. The area might be operated by the Forestry Commission but that's probably isn't the name of the area. If you are a local you are best placed to sort this out - even though it's not of your making!

If you need help or information please feel free to ask by replying.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

If the footpaths are rights of way you could add designation=public_footpath (or public_bridleway) in England and Wales.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask by replying.

Welcome to OSM.

I notice you have added a tag source=work. That is ambiguous, do you mean that you get data from work, or that you work there? If the data is supplied from your employers, this is worrying. Any data used must be licensed, in writing, with a licence that is compatible with OSM's licence. If you know the data because you work there, I'd use source=local knowledge which is perfectly acceptable.

If you need any help, feel free to ask by replying.

Welcome to OSM. I will change your tagging to shop=perfumery, rather than shop=Perfume - this is a more widely used tag.

37947615 over 9 years ago

Sadly it seems BCNorwich has just steamrollered over your work and shown what an expert editor he is regardless of how you are trying to learn.

@BCNorwich: What source did you use to establish which building in the terrace to put the opticians on?

37946729 over 9 years ago

Welcome to OSM.

I see you have added something to the road. I guess you are trying to add an opticians. We tag this as shop=optician. We place objects as close as we can to the real location. I doubt that would be in the middle of the road! :-) You can safely use just a dot (we call a node) but it would be a more complete answer to draw the outline of the building.

You can add extra details too if you want to. For example if you have a car park you can add that so your clients know where to park. If you need help feel free to ask by replying.

You seem to have added a strange, overlapping shape in the school grounds tagged as a school - but it's already in a school. It looks like a doodle - do you realise you are editing the live data, not your own personal copy?

37945335 over 9 years ago

Welcome to OSM.

I think you may be trying stuff out, perhaps without realising you are editing the live map. In Snaith you have created an overlapping building with an existing building and the shape of a grass area seems odd.

The changeset comment 'corrected' is not very helpful. What have you corrected and how? Please be a bit more expressive in your comments to help other people understand your edits.

If you need any help please feel free to ask by replying.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

You have added the city as Wrexham for the Best Companies Limited. I would expect the address to be LLay, not Wrexham, so we would use that - I know it's not a city, but that's how we use it. I would also add the usual space in the middle of the postcode.

I hope you add some more detail to the area to share your local knowledge with everyone else.

Hi Welcome to OSM.

I'm really sure what you were trying to add. We tend to map stuff that is verifiable on the ground. Is this are verifiable?

You have only added an area tag, which is rarely needed. You need to add other tags to describe what you are drawing. If you need any help feel free to ask by replying.

37922031 over 9 years ago

If it doesn't have a name then we don't add a name :-) Is it a public footpath? If so we (in the UK) add a tag to show it of designation=public_footpath (or public_bridleway). Does it join to the road at the southern end?

37923548 over 9 years ago

HI, Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

You have tagged a landuse area as residential. Is this a new development or is it a farmyard? If it is a farmyard as the (possibly out-of-date) aerial imagery shows it would be better to tag it as farmyard. The building looks a bit big. The aerial images are not always exactly from above, so buildings can look a bit laid on its side. You need to interpret it a bit. Is the area and the house called Crossway Farmhouse? The OS Opendata suggests Crossway Farm. We add names based on the name displayed on a name board where possible.

If you have questions please feel free to ask by replying.
