Is this a location where members of the public can take waste to be recycled? That's the intention of the amenity=recycling tag. osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Drecycling

The "name" tag is meant for actual names, not really for general descriptions. I've fixed this. Other than that, a good first edit - keep mapping!

Hmm, you don't seem to have removed any golf courses in this edit.

Are you sure about this? OS thinks Station Road for this stretch http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=708170

Regarding Rubastic Way/Road, we tend to use the not:name tag for this to let QA tools strike it off their list. I've done this now.

Decent first edit. I de-capitalized AXIS POINT - we tend to leave decisions about capitalization etc to the map renderer.

Be careful - you managed to remove the highway=residential tag from a street in London in this changeset (I fixed it in my changeset osm.org/changeset/28511049)

Is there really no road named "Tyne View Terrace" here? Because this edit removed it and broke a match against Ordnance Survey Locator http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=772606

I fixed this a bit for you:
1. opening_hours actually uses a specific syntax osm.wiki/Key:opening_hours
2. cuisine isn't really a general description field - I think it's clear enough what most cafe's cuisine is.
3. You managed to create three POIs on top of each other (including one place of worship)

Anyway, a useful addition. Keep mapping.

I've reverted this edit - please note this is a global, shared map. Editing it edits everyone's version - a bit like Wikipedia.

FWIW this is what current os locator has to say about it http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=644615

Is... there a park here?

Hi, I fixed your changeset a bit to tag it a bit more like how we tend to do it in OSM these days. I mapped the school grounds as an area tagged as such and named "Abbeymead Primary School" and the approximate outline of the building as an unnamed "school building".

My changeset is osm.org/changeset/28404506

Good information though - keep mapping.

Oh and welcome to OpenStreetMap :)

You haven't given way 323491043 that you created (osm.org/way/323491043) any tags. This means that OSM has no way of knowing what it "is". It's a meaningless abstract line.

In iD, after you've created a line, you've got to assign tags to it using the menu that then appears on the left.

What were you trying to create it as?

Hey, there's nothing in the Terms of Service about not being a grumpy bastard.

I made a small fix to this in my changeset osm.org/changeset/28265824

It's important to ensure the points where ways are *traversible* between are actually *connected*, otherwise software that uses OSM can't do clever things like routing across them. In the web editor (iD), nodes should actually feel like they "snap" to another road when they're actually connected. Here, I connected the Upper Park end of your Albion Park/Upper Park footway.

Good start anyway. Footways and cut-throughs are really useful things to add to OSM.

Please don't abuse the name tag to add the fact that roads happen to also be part of some-walk-or-other. If you really want to do this you should use route relations (osm.wiki/Relation:route), though you may have to upgrade to using JOSM to do that properly.

In fact the Chesterfield Round Walk seems to already be done as a relation.

osm.org/relation/68834

I've reverted a lot of the altered names in my changeset osm.org/changeset/28264322

You've got to be careful to actually *connect* the ends of the footways you create to the ways they are traversible to/from, otherwise tools that use OSM can't do clever stuff like routing across it (it doesn't know they're actually *connected*).

I fixed this for you in my changeset osm.org/changeset/28141280

I fixed this for you by connecting the endpoints and the midpoint to the respective roads. You need to be careful to actually *connect* ways to each other where they can be traversed.

Other than that, good first edit - cut throughs are really useful things to add to OSM.
