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.

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?

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 If it is a farmyard as the (possibly out-of-date) aerial imagery shows it would be better to tag it as farmyard.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.

Hi, Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

Is the gym really a triangle-shaped building? The aerial imagery (which could be out of date) shows a bigger, rectangular building.

If you need any help, feel free to reply.

Hi Welcome to OSM. Thanks for the detail.

Is the track you added called 'Hendre Farm Track' on a name board or the like. That sounds like an informal name, we tend to use formal names, usually from a name board in the name tag.

Welcome to OSM.

Your edit is pretty good for a first edit, but you have added a landuse tag to the building which is not the way it gets used.

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

I don't think So Wok is a restaurant, last time I was there (a few months ago) it was certainly only a takeaway. It's a very small place, there's no room for a sit-down meal.

I also think the name is So Wok (without the 'Takeaway').

Another undiscussed mechanical edit? Please stop making these - someone will just have to revert it.

I see you have mapped Brantingham Thorpe Park as leisure=park. I don't think this is correct. This may be parkland, but it's not a park. leisure=park implies public access, usually municipal. This is parkland, so it's really farmland - it's probably used to graze animals.

amenity=theatre with, perhaps, theatre=amphitheatre to differentiate it. I might be tempted to add building=yes and layer=1 too. Just because it doesn't have a roof, it still would be a building to me. It is a separate structure from the dock as the dock is listed so the theatre is being added without damaging the dock.

Isn't this former drydock the one being converted into an outdoor theatre? If so, wouldn't be better to tag it as landuse = construction?

Welcome to OSM.

We only seek ground truth, that is what is really there on the ground. We leave politics elsewhere.

If the path really called horse field? Is that the name of the field? Is this an informal name or is this on a name plate somewhere? The name used in OSM is usually displayed somewhere on the path.

If you want to outline the field you can draw the field by tracing from the aerial imagery.

Hi, Welcome to OSM.

You seem to to be adding walks or rides as an object to OSM. We only add named routes to OSM. We add these as a relation, which is a bit of an advanced edit. It is a way of creating a route out of existing roads, paths, tracks etc, without adding them again.

If the route is you added is a personal route (not a named and signposted route) then we don't add that to the database. There are ways to create an overlay with your route on it. You could try umap for that (https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/).

If you need any more information, please ask.

Hi, Welcome to OSM.

If you want to add steps you can use the tag highway=steps, rather than highway=footway. This will then render differently on the Standard map. If the steps really are called 'Steep steps' then your name is fine (this would usually be on a sign naming the steps rather than a sign warning that the steps are steep). If you resorted to the name to describe the steps then it would be better to remove it and use the steps tag.

Has Gassco released this data as open data? Where can I look at this open data?

I've changed the building outline to match the footprint on the ground, not the outline of the roof. This is the way buildings should be drawn whenever possible. Parallax in aerial imagery can make this difficult, but in this case it was fairly easy.

36776053 over 9 years ago

Why have you drawn the building to be that shape? It is clearly not that shape.

If you are having problems understanding OSM I can revert (undo) this edit for you.

Hi, Welcome to OSM.

I see you have added addresses for the cottages as the name of the building. We reserve names on buildings for signed names, such as a shop name. Addresses get their own tags, e.g. addr:housenuber=1, addr:street=Old Clapperton Hall and so on.

A house name can be added as addr:housename=Robins Nest. You can add both a house name and a house number using this scheme if needed.

It is a common issue for new mappers to use the name tag too freely, so don't feel bad about a simple mistake. I hope you enjoy adding some more local details, sharing your local knowledge to improve the map for everyone.
