Welcome to OSM.
Is Haven Gardens a single building? It looks like a square of buildings with a space in the middle to me.

Thanks for the edit. Keeping up with changes is very useful.

If an amenity closes it is best to change the tagging to reflect that. I would change the pub tag to be disused:amenity=pub. If the old name board is still present then I'd leave the name unchanged as it is still a landmark, but if the name board is removed I'd just delete the name tag. Adding 'closed' to the name tag is a common mistake. We use the name tag to show the name not its description. 'Closed' is really a description of the pub's state, so doesn't belong in the name.

Hi,
You have added a couple of living streets in Pocklington. These are vanishingly rare in the UK and as far as I know the East Riding council have not created any. It is usual to just use highway=residential in the UK, with surface, sidewalk and maxspeed tags to add more detail.

Is there a way to get from St Peter's Walk onto the footpath? If so it is best if you join them. That way routing software can then create a continuous route using the OSM data.

Hi,
Thanks for this edit. You have named the public footpath 'Public Footpath'. I doubt that is its name, it is the description. We only use the name tag to actually add a real name, such as Jakes Walk or Clevland Way. If it is a public footpath (signed on the ground as that) in the UK we add designation=public_footpath to make that clear. You can only add that in th elist of tags at the bottom of the edit panel.

If it is a footpath does it really need the mtb: (mountain biking) tags?

OK,
If your edit is theoretical (or put another way: imaginary) it needs to be removed from OSM. We only want real objects in their correct location, correctly described. I will revert (undo) this edit.

If you want to experiment with private overlays you might like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr

Welcome to OSM.

I can see that you are trying to add a "Development Site", though this is not complete. There was already a brownfield site show, Has this changed? Has construction started on this site? If so then rather than adding a new are, I would have changed the brownfield to a construction area (landuse=construction).

You have use a relation to join two lines together into an area. This is unnecessary, just draw a simple area.

You have made a common beginner's mistake and used the name tag to describe the area. We add a name as displayed on a sign or name board. If there is no name, we leave the name blank. The description of the area comes from using the right tagging scheme.

Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail. You have added a road in the town as a track. It might be more usual to call it a service road (highway=service rather than highway=track). In OSM terms that can be an alley or a ginnel. You can add the surface as you have to show it is unpaved. You can further refine it with service=alley to show it is not a driveway or a drive-through for example. You have added lanes=0. If it has no lanes then it has no width :-) I wouldn't use a lanes tag on a track or alley, but if you want to you should make it lanes=1 at least.

I hope this helps.

Welcome to OSM. You have added some useful stuff but you haven't added a tag to say what is there. Is this an office, or a residential property or what? What kind of business is this? The postcode would be better if it was spaced 'L22 3XN'. OSM is not a business directory, so the description is not really what we would expect.

Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail.

Is the Claremont Medical Centre a hospital or a GP practice? If it is a GP practice it should be tagged as amenity=doctors, rather than hospital.

This was added, as a point, many years ago. You have now improved it by drawing the building. However the facility is now tagged twice. I would remove the existing, old point because you have added a better version of the object.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the edits.
It is a common beginner's mistake to misuse the name tag. On a road we would only ever put the name of the road in the name tag, you have put the name, the location and the postcode. Postcodes get added to buildings or sometimes building entrances because more than one postcode often applies to a single road. The name of the place is derived from the boundaries or place point.

I hope you improve this new area even more. you could change the (grey) residential area to reflect the new boundary and maybe add houses, with their postcode.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail. We would tag a post office with a specific tag (amenity = post_office). The name would then be the name displayed on a board or sign, (e.g. West Wickham Postoffice perhaps). The fact that it is inside a shop is shown by drawing and tagging the shop building and putting the post office point inside the shop outline.

Why did you delete the pond? There is a pond there, not quite where the new mapper put it, but that's a newbie mistake. Does it really deserve to be deleted? I think this is heavy-handed

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for checking the bus stop. It was imported into OSM from an open data source called NaPTAN. This certainly has some errors, so it is good to see someone checking. One thing you might like to change is that when you are happy with the tags, change the naptan:verified = no to yes, so others know it has been checked. You might have to look at the 'All tags' at the bottom of the left column to find that.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail.

Is this a park, or perhaps a garden, especially given it's name. We have a tag for a garden (leisure = garden).

You have made a common mistake that beginners often make. You have used the name tag to describe something. We use the name tag to hold the name shown on a board or a sign. If there is no specific name then we leave the name tag blank.

A refuelling area could be marked as a fuel station. If it is not public then you can add access=private to show it's not public.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.
You have added an area with a name and a description, but that's not quite enough to specify the feature in OSM. A garden centre is tagged as shop=garden_centre. Without this the map won't know how to show te feature properly.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail. Looking at the aerial images it looks as though you have outlined more than just the building, yet you have tagged it as a building. The surroundings might be a garden, there's a tag for that.

The postcode is very useful for navigation when OSM data gets loaded into a sat nav or used in other routing sources. It helps a lot if the postcode matches the 'standard' UK format, the cod eyou have entered would be better as IV49 9AJ, that is capitalised and spaced as usual.

Welcome to OSM, thanks for the detail.

We normally don't add footpaths beside roads, such as Whittaker Road, we would add sidewalk tags to the road instead. In that case the path looks sufficiently separated that I might just add the footpath separately. I would always use highway=footway rather than highway=path when it is a formal path.
