The name on the board above the shop front is 'Chemist'. I surveyed it and it is still so.

Please don't just armchair this stuff - check first!

I will revert your change.

The map is created by volunteers. It looks as though no one has put the hours in to draw the houses in your village. A quick look at the aerial imagery tells me they could be traced from there, but it's a long job and not your real intention.

Electoral ward boundaries are not in OSM. I don't think they have been released under a suitable licence - something we are very fussy about.

OSM maps can be printed and the data that makes them is freely downloadable (unlike any other map provider). Using the share icon on the right you can extract a small sample (village sized) as various formats for use in other software which might help you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. OGL is fine, but oddly wikipedia isn't always a safe source - we don't know where that came from. Your edit looks fine based on OGL.

The parish boundaries for much of GB have been added, it looks like your village has too. The purple dotted line show the boundary. This has usually come from the OS Opendata released since 2010.

What sort of use do you have in mind for the parish council? Do you need any help or advice? For example, you can display OSM on a village website.

Hello,
Someone who was adding population numbers has just been blocked. So is this a way to circumvent being blocked, or are you a genuine new editor?

Is the 2011 census data released under an open licence? Is there information about this?

So you're not really travelling and seeing what is really there, you're making undiscussed, mass edits from the comfort of your armchair. Do you think this is a good idea and that it is acceptable?

Welcome to OSM,

It is a common beginner's mistake to use the name tag as a description. Does the trig point really have a name 'Orton Hill Triangulation Pillar' on a name board at the location? If not then just don't use the name tag - many things don't have a name.

Hi,
It's good you removed the coastline tag. I expected you to respond to my comment, then we could try to help.

I'm still not sure what your source is. Would you tell me where did you get this information from please.

Welcome to OSM

I think you have tried to show a proposed new road. You haven't added a comment to the edit which would help make that clearer.

You have added what I think is the new road as coastline. This is very odd, is there any reason for this?

What is the source for this new road layout? Have you copied this from a plan or official source?

As it stands this edit needs changing then it could be useful, but we generally only add stuff to OSM that actually exists. Has this road been started or is it still just a proposal?

Hi,
Please add useful changeset comments. '.' really doesn't help understand what and why you are changing.

Hi,
Adding the designated= xxx is not widely using the UK. It is intended to show a specific legal restriction which often doesn't apply in the UK. In the UK it is more common to use designation=public_footpath or designation-public_bridleway. See osm.wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines#Tagging_Access_Provisions

Mass editing of tags on a collection of objects (like this edit) is also frowned up as a mass-edit. We like these discussed in advance by the local community, in this case the talk-gb email list or talk-gb IRC channel would work. I suggest you would not get agreement for these changes.

Feel free to discuss here, but a wider audience would be better.

OK, starting out can be hard at first. I'll put the shop back where it was.

If you need help, please ask and I'll try to help.

I have reverted (undone) this edit. It looks like an experimental edit.

Welcome to OSM

You seem to have moved a shop in Tate Modern into the Thames. Did you realise that you were editing real, live data? Would you like any help sorting this out?

Looks much better, thanks.

Welcome to OSM

No problem, you didn't delete the point, a rather too hasty monitor did. You added the business and all looks well, except you added it to the road rather than over the building the business operates from. Please move it to the side of the road to where the business really is.

Welcome to OSM
You seem to have added the publishers twice. I suggest you delete one of the points.

Feel free to ask any questions.

I've reinstated the point. I needs moving over the top of the building that business is in, and then it will be a useful addition to the map.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Why was this deleted so quickly, with no comments?

Welcome to OSM
You seem to have deleted a lot of stuff, none of which looks like it should be deleted to me. Why have you deleted this stuff?

As a beginner you may not have realised you were deleting live data from the shared database.

I also notice you are using the Merkaartor editor. This is not widely used or supported anymore. You would probably be better using a different editor.

I will revert (undo) your edit to put the stuff back

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

To add a house name I would always draw the outline of the house footprint, add a building tag and add the address tags. Don't use the name tag for a house name (common mistake) as that is for, say, a business name in a building. E.g a shop might have a building name as part of the address but the shop has a busness name in the name tag.
