I leave it to you (I don't know the area). If there's no hay some would say it's not a meadow, but grass with wild flowers would sway it for others. You could add a note (note=x) to explain your choice for the next mapper.

Happy to help (If I have :-) )

I'm going to sound very picky, but a meadow in the UK is a very specific thing, with grass left to harvest for hay, allowing wild flowers to flourish then later, some animal grazing. This could be a meadow, or maybe grassland.

There is a 'local name' tag (loc_name=x) if that helps.

Welcome to OSM

It is very unusual to have an edit that spans the world. I would always break each edit up into much smaller locations.

Again, are you sure about the name? It is not unusual for things to not have a name.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail.

We only use the name tag for names from a sign or a name board. We don't use it as a description (it's a common beginner's mistake).

If it is a balancing pond we do have a separate tag for that (landuse=basin, basin=detention for example.)

This looks like some kind of experiment that you then saved. I think this is ready to be reverted, (undone). What do you think?

Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for this detail, everything is useful. You have made a very common beginner's mistake. You have added a description as the name tag. We only ever use names in the name tag, usually from a name board or a sign. A phone box will not have a name and certainly not 'Phone box'

You seem to have changed a wood to be a park. Are you sure?

Welcome to OSM
You have converted a grassland to a park. When I look at the aerial imagery, including some new imagery, it shows as buildings. Are you sure that's a park?

The new park you added extends out onto the surrounding roads. Are you sure that is right?

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail. Drawing building outlines is better than just a point, though a point is better than nothing. I suggest you look at the tags on the point and transfer them to your new building outline and then delete the point. At the moment we have two objects in OSM for one object on the ground, the church, which we try not to do.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the footpath. It would be best to join it at both ends to the road. That way routing software using OSM data will be able route pedestrians or bikes along your footpath

the pitch looks useful, but the tagging has a mistake. We use leisure=pitch, not landuse=pitch.

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

You have added two areas but you haven't added a tag to say what the area is. The surface tags are good. I'm guessing the round one is a playground (leisure=playground) because it surrounds a point with that tag. If so I would add the tags to your area (that carries more geometry than just a point, so is prefered) and delete the point. Not sure what the square area is.

Welcome to OSM
You can add an alternative name or local name as well as the official name. e.g. loc_name= The Dog

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the details.
I think I would have drawn the whole area as the park, not in two parts. You can still draw the footpath through the park.

This needs an object type to describe it. Is it a monument perhaps?

48594161 over 8 years ago

Rather than just a point I like to draw the area and then tag that as sport=tennis. Does the place have a name? name=x

A barbers needs a shop tag so the software knows what kind of an object it is. shop=hairdresser, plus the name tag should do it. You can extras such ass address and phone number tags if you know that info too.
