Leith was a town until 1920 but it isn't anymore. It is now part of Edinburgh. So why did you change its status from "suburb" to "town"? Do you agree to revert this change. Thanks.

Thanks for your answer and hope to see you at the next meeting. Cheers

Yes, you're right but but at the same time it's very difficult to create the "perfect" default legend which can match with the expectations of all the OSM users (cf. the long and numerous discussions which happened last October when the OSM default renderer has been updated), and the existing one is a good compromise from my point of view.

To answer your last question, it would be possible with the current renderer but the problem is the denomination of such a space/place. At least two options are possible to define this kind of areas:
- to create an OSM "place" (osm.wiki/Key:place) but with a new value which would be between "plot" and "city_block",
- use a Relation with the type "site" but this type of relation isn't yet considered in the current renderer. I'll try to propose soon an improvement which could take it into account.

Do you agree that I edit your previous edits to take into account your improvements and when it's the case to correct your mistakes (otherwise some street names aren't searchable anymore) ?

Finally, the advantage with OSM is that it's a database so you can search for a place even if its name doesn't appear on the map, (same thing with a A-Z street index) and you can create a new renderer which would display all the names if you wish.

If you want to discuss about some OSM aspects, please join us at the OSM Edinburgh pub meeting next month (osm.wiki/Edinburgh#Upcoming_Pub_Meetings). A date will be proposed soon.

This is Laurel Terrace (http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/669817/laurel_terrace) and not Violet Terrace (http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/671992/violet_terrace).

This split is incorrect.

This part of the road is Comiston Road (official sources: http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/668134/comiston_road and http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/669207/greenbank_terrace) and both sides are Greenbank Terrace. I edited this road to reflect it less than a month ago by adding the tags name:left/name:right to indicate that it's also Greenbank Terrace. So the information was here, maybe not display as you wish with the default map renderer but at least the OSM database is correct.

Here you simply removed the fact that this road is Comiston Road.

Please, let me know what you think about it. Thanks.

Hi John, did you do any survey here? Because this Society moved to the Atria One (144 Morrison Street) last December (http://www.lawscot.org.uk/news/2015/05/law-society-announces-move-to-atria-one-in-edinburgh/)?

Hi John. You recently did different edits to improve the quality of the map. These modifications do not match with the OSM specifications because you added the street name as the name of a building or you modified a street name using both names, which isn't correct in both cases. I recently improved many roads to add their alternative/right/left names so if people want to search for this address, they can do it. If you don't mind, I'm going to revert your changes and to update the roads instead to reflect your improvements. Just let me know what you think about it. Thanks.

OK, many thanks.

You deleted the hairdresser, then recreated it as well as deleted the pub. In your changeset comment you wrote that you only deleted the hairdresser. What is correct? Did the pub close? Did the hairdresser close down? Did a new one replace it?

Great. Thanks for your contribution.

As this edit creates a house number duplication (the number 2 is already on the map) and as a node can't be a building, I'm going to delete this node but to associate the added postcode with the current house number.

Do you mind if I remove the fence you added around a Marchmont urban block? The reason is that it appears now that this block is segregated and requires an access. For info, we added some external fences and gardens in order to show where the gates are (see here: osm.org/#map=19/55.93516/-3.22923). We didn't go on with that (at least not at the moment) because it's too time consuming.

Thanks for your answer. drnoble already improved it.

No problem. Thanks for that.

Named Murrayfield Stadium (relation) changed the rendering of the stadium. Now it appears as a normal building (we can't see anymore the pitch -- that's why the name was attached to the outer way and not to the relation).
Do you mind if I update the relation to remove the name for now and to add a note instead to indicate the name? Thanks

Is there any particular reason to duplicate addresses here?

33094923 about 10 years ago

I merged the two buildings and added Drill Hall as an alternative name for the Out of the Blue Drill Hall building (so people can find the place by searching both names). Change as well the opening hours of the cafe and the source tag to fit the OSM specifications.
Hope is ok for you.

33094923 about 10 years ago

Hi there, you said that technically separate but it's the same building here and not two buildings. The Drill Hall Arts Café is inside the building. So I'll revert your edit here if you agree.

no problem (thanks for your comment)
