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.

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.

I'm afraid I reverted this changeset (with my changeset osm.org/changeset/27944935) because it was too destructive. Removed many street names. Remember, OSM is a shared, global map, in the same way wikipedia is a shared global encyclopedia. You remove a name for yourself, you remove it for everybody.

Did you mean to remove/break the name "Harvieston Villas" here? http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=934149

You haven't tagged this way as a road, so it doesn't represent anything specific. You've got to select the way and use the buttons on the left (underneath "search...") to assign "tags" to the way.

Yup, we watch the edits of beginners :) Keep up the good work otherwise.

Fixed the tagging of this for you. The "school grounds" should cover the whole school grounds and the building is just an added extra detail that doesn't need a name itself.

Going to add a not:name?

27576887 over 10 years ago

I think you managed to accidentally remove the name "Quincewood Gardens" from here http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=612204

Did you accidentally delete "Boothroyd Street" in this changeset? http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=98472

27191680 over 10 years ago

Did you perhaps accidentally delete "Albion Square" in this changeset? http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=930237

26954497 over 10 years ago

Did you accidentally remove the name "Oaklands Drive" here? http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=552525

Did you manage to accidentally delete "Lea Way" here? http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=439007

27385938 over 10 years ago

Are you sure about the naming here? OS Locator seems to disagre with you http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=641665

27382036 over 10 years ago

I'm afraid I had to revert chis changeset (in my changeset osm.org/changeset/27459560) because it deleted several objects including Grace Avenue (osm.org/way/55129004) and a footway (osm.org/way/47521566).

We also don't tend to put very temporary features into OSM, so I'm not totally sure I see the worth in adding temporary oneway systems unless you are definitely going to remember to come & change them back when they're over.

Please don't abuse the "name" tag to give things a generic label. Tag it as a bowling green if it is one.

osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

The "name" is to be used if e.g. this bowling green has a _specific_ name.

27313113 over 10 years ago

I'm reverting this changeset because you managed to delete the way "First Avenue".

27298646 over 10 years ago

You managed to connect the end of the footway to a postbox, not Bedford Road. I've fixed that for you. You sometimes have to be careful with what ways are actually connected to.
