Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail. We map things that are present today and can be checked by someone else at the site. Is there a blue plaque or some other memorial for Stan Laurel? If so, we would map that and there are tags for that. If there is no present day memorial we would not add historical details like this.

If you need help with tagging a memorial please ask.

Then that tag needs adding. Adding a point with details is useful, drawing the area of buildings and adding the tags to the whole area is much better. With a building set back from the road there maybe a service road or driveway to show how one would access the place too.

Thanks for trying to sort this out, it is not quite right. You have drawn an area for the house, but you have added the tags to just one of the corners of the house, rather than the whole area of the house. It also needs a tag to say what it is, in this case building=house would be best I think.

As it stands part of the footpath lies in the same place as School Lane, because you just added school lane over the top of Daisy Lane. Is that section School Lane or Daisy Lane, it can't be both. If both exist then they must be side-by-side not in exactly the same place.

Also, you have not joined School Lane to Steyning Road, so routing software will not work with it.

I wonder why you have deleted these things? Are they wrong? Have they been removed?

You might like to draw the outline of buildings like this. Tag it as building=house and you can add address details from there. A cottage would use the housename tag to specify its name, not the name tag. The name tag is then free if a business is run there too.

Please ak if you need more info.

This needs an object type - name is not enough.

Adding the Round House is useful, but you always need to add what an object is. Is this a house, a business, an attraction ... ?

Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.
You seem to have added School Lane over the top of Daisy Lane. We only map each object once, so I would have changed the part of Daisy Lane to become School Lane.

If you need more info, please ask.

Thanks for the detail. You have added lots of detail about the studio, but you have missed off the most important one: what is this? Is it an office (office=*), a shop (shop=*) or what. Without that OSM cannot show the business properly.

Welcome to OSM

I see you've deleted your work. Do you need any help?

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail. It helps a lot to know how the path is surfaced, we use the surface tag to show that. If the path is a public right of way you might like to add designation=public_footpath (or public_bridleway)

Buildings are best drawn as an area, not a point. If you want to make it clear that it is part of the school (it is within the grounds but an extra tag might help) you can use the tag building=school.

Welcome to OSM
You have used 'External Building' as the name. It is common beginner's mistake to add a description as the name. We only use the name tag for things that have a name board or a sign. Is the that building really called 'External Building'? It is also common for small buildings on a site to have no name and we then leave the name tag blank.

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the detail, you have added useful tags, but you have missed off the most important tag - what have you added? Is it an office, a shop, a house ...?

The description tag is just free text. You seem to have used it as an ad (OSM is not a business directory but we welcome businesses to add their location). To show your business properly we need a tag to describe it. E.g. office=company or shop=charity. The imagery shows a terraced row, you might like to draw the outline of either the whole row or just your bit and tag that as a building (building=yes if you're not sure).

Feel free to ask if you need help.

Welcome to OSM
OSM is not a business directory, so your advert in the description tag is, IMHO, inappropriate.

You have added many useful tags, but a key one is missing. There is no tag to describe the object you have mapped. Is it an office, a shop ... ?

Welcome to OSM
You have added an area and given it a name, but not described what it is. The description tag is really only a form or comment. If Tilmore is a suburb there is a place=suburb tab, but it looks a bit small for that so I would use place=neighbourhood.

Welcome to OSM
You seem to have created two fitness centres, one in a bus station and anther in the middle of a road junction. You haven't given them names, so that makes it harder to verify them.
Are there really two fitness centres in that small area? Were you experimenting and saved your test? Do you need any help with this?

Welcome to OSM
Thanks for the details. I see many of the smaller residential roads, including the original part of of Old Farm Close that you have added to, have names in all capital letters. Unless there is a very special reason (which I can't think of) they should be mixed case like the bit you have added. Is that something you might check and change?

We only use real stuff, in the right place correctly described. I will revert (undo) the fun, but imaginary edit
