I'm confused by the changes made here:
access=private -> access=no (the road is a private road)
highway =service -> highway=track (it is a paved service road)
foot=designated -> foot=yes (means the same thing)

Sorry, didn't think to check. Almost certainly a Tesco Express based on size, but will check next time I'm passing.

Thanks!

I've made this change.

I've generally mapped linked fields/landuse by drawing field boundaries and then collecting these into landuse using an MP. It seems inefficient and awkward to have 3 nodes per field boundary point. But I appreciate that it would be best to avoid turning woods etc. into MPs simply because they abut a field.

I'm not sure that the tagging change from highway=cycleway to highway=bridleway was correct here. These routes around Coniston are public bridleways, but that is just about legal access. Functionally they are shared cycleways, and signed as cycleways with blue signs (I assume the bridleway status means that the can be used by horse riders). There's a big practical difference between a proper cycleway and your average bridleway, and it is helpful to show this in the map.

Fat finger mistake!

Fixed.

Hi Thomas,

I was a bit confused by the added roads at the Bowes Bypass Interchange. There was no evidence of these being in construction (July 2024). Shouldn't 'proposed' rather than 'construction' be used? Really we should only map what is on ground.

I can't quite reconcile the changeset comment and the history. I don't think that I changed the access to private; I was only passing the road end, and I don't think there is anything unusual going on.

Hi,

I was mapping in the Ulverston area and noticed several examples of barrier=wire_fence which you had added. Would you consider retagging with barrier=fence, fence_type=wire? They will then get rendered.

I was reluctant to do a mass edit of other people's work.

The fact that the operator calls it a halt? It's a common pattern on preserved railways to distinguish between "full service" stations catering to tourists (i.e. with a car park) and "only a halt" where the only expected customers are walkers.
Linley and Kirkhaugh are designated halts by the South Tynedale, Kingfisher by the Weardale.

But frankly, the definition of a halt is beside the point. My irritation is with overriding the work done by local mappers based on individual opinion. It doesn't sit well with a collaborative project.

Yes, the stops at Kirkhaugh and Linley Halt are very specifically identified as halts by the South Tynedale Railway. It is a useful and used distinction on this railway.

Indeed it would. I think this was quite early tagging and I had misunderstood the access tagging. Fixed!

Must have been a bodged attempt to fix board_type tagging. But that's irrelevant if the board has gone (just posts IIRC). Fixed.

Yes, because a landuse isn't needed and is visually confusing for a house set in a garden. The landuse drawn didn't match with cadastral parcels and overlapped with a commercial landuse (the plant centre).

Perhaps add landuse=commercial if the area of the garden centre can be delimited?

Oops! I thought hill=peak was definitely a mistake (as opposed to a likely mistake / poor tagging).

Changeset reverted.

It's difficult for data consumers if there are two primary tags. One is going to trump the other. But in retrospect that was perhaps a bit rash, since it might not be obvious which is the primary function: information office with some nick nacks or gift show with some information. If need both, they could be on different nodes.

Thanks! It did look like the car park had been rebuilt. Removed the fixme and tagged the "flagpole" in adjacent car park as razed: too.

Presumably there is no longer a phone here? Retag amenity = telephone with removed:amenity = telephone
?

I'm pretty confident that this is a sewer vent and not a "domestic" vent inside the cadastral parcel of a property. It has the same substantial and decorative ironwork as other sewer pipes in Durham, and is distinct from "domestic" vents. I'm guessing that it vents a small sewer running along the service alley.
