Please do not move road ref=s to within the road name. Allow the renderer to make a decision about this. Someone's going to have to come and undo all of this now.

Heh. Should possibly put a warning filter on the HOT task manager for sensitive words. This task will have resulted in thousands of edits with this tag. Though then again this was 2 years ago so maybe they've got better at this now.

Did you mean to remove the name "Hollis Court" in this edit? It's broken a match against the Ordnance Survey Locator dataset: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=384080

BTW - there's a specific tag for postcode (addr:postcode), and there's also a tag (not:name) that can be used to mark a road as specifically _not_ a name (in case someone tries to "fix" it back to match some other dataset. I've made these changes in osm.org/changeset/63491136

Cool - give it a not:name= tag to mark this fact and stop anyone trying to naively "fix it" to match OS Locator: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=621168

Did you mean to delete the road "Montem Street" in this edit? It broke a match against the Ordnance Survey Locator database: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=516476

Did you mean to remove the "highway" tag from "Caerleon Road" in this edit? It broke a match with OS Locator: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=136877

Did you mean to delete "Wilton Place" in this changeset? It broke a match with OS Locator: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=924521

Are you sure the whole thing is called Chesterfield Road? OS's Locator dataset seems to think it changes at the corner: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=355427

If you're sure I'll add a not:name= tag here to stop someone coming along and "fixing it" back.

I'm going to assume https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=929892 is not called "Wrenmere Close" anymore because ... it's not a close anymore, so I'll add that as old_name=, I guess...

Careful - think you managed to remove the name "Poleshill Lane" in this edit: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=595237

Hi - did you mean to remove the name "Lockhart Road" from here in this edit? It's broken a match against Ordnance Survey's Locator dataset: https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=906615

Excellent - will be good to keep an eye on what it ends up as

When you say "closed" roads, do these roads still physically exist? If so it would be better to simply mark them as closed.

If you're certain this section of road https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=466713 is called Brooklands and not Lower Village Street, would you mind adding a not:name= tag to it to record this and prevent someone coming back and "fixing" it?

The gpx traces are only used as source material on which to base actual map data. They're not used for more than a background to trace the roads on. It's not worth deleting the gpx unless it is big & completely wrong. You can try adding a more detailed one on top of it or just work from the aerial imagery provided in the editor.

Great work - welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Hi - welcome to OpenStreetMap. You've forgotten to tag these new ways you've added in this edit before saving them. Without this information OSM doesn't know what they are - they're just abstract "lines". To tag them in the web-based editor (iD), you need to select them and then choose a tag from the menu on the left. I suspect these are supposed to be footpaths?

Careful - in removing & replacing the road, you didn't restore its attributes (name, oneway-ness), breaking a match against the OS Locator dataset https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=297055

I've restored the name in my changeset osm.org/changeset/61773338 and also re-connected the junction with the footpath to the west (if two ways don't share a "node", OSM doesn't class them as connected and therefore can't route across them). I haven't restored the oneway-ness, because I don't know whether following the area changes this is still oneway. Is it? If so please re-add a oneway tag to it.

Anyway, welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Excellent - I'll add a not:name= tag to it to document this and hopefully stop anyone trying to "fix" this "fault". Welcome to OpenStreetMap!
