You appear to have tagged a section of Waterworks Roundabout as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I'm trying to find any evidence in Bing Streetside imagery that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that a prohibition exists. Is this a new signed restriction created by a traffic order more recent than the Bing streetside imagery?

The wiki states that access tags reflect legal access. Subjective opinions about whether it would be pleasant, a good idea, safe, etc. for a particular transport mode are not relevant to legal access.
osm.wiki/Key:foot

As real pedestrian prohibitions on public roads other than those tagged as highway=motorway or motorroad=yes in the UK are quite rare and are always signed, this quest is probably better left disabled.

If you don't like the tag, there's nothing to stop you creating a proposal to deprecate it.

Whether or not a mapper based in Vietnam likes or dislikes the documented and correctly used tourism=attraction tag is irrelevant. Please revert and don't inflict your personal tastes on local OSM contributors.

What makes you think that St. Katharine's Way is a residential street?

Have you ever been there?

Why did you delete "Girl with a dolphin" and its associated history and recreate it as a new object?

The footway area which you deleted still exists, although there might be a justification to change it to area:highway=footway.

Please use meaningful changeset comments - "fix track" does not adequately describe what you did, or why you did it.

I'm pretty sure that the towers on Tower Bridge were still there - and still buildings, not just bridge piers - when I ran across it last night.

Hi, thanks for updating this.

addr:postcode was actually the correct tag for the postcode as part of an address, postal_code is generally used on streets (often as just the first half of the postcode).

Thanks - StreetComplete is generally a great tool and really helps to enrich and improve the map. It's just that one quest which tends to trip people up in the UK.

You appear to have tagged a section of Hartmann Road as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I cannot find any evidence in Bing street side imagery, or from my recollection of surveying this street, that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that a prohibition exists.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and many thanks for adding these.

If the buildings you have added are seating for spectators, they might be better tagged as leisure=bleachers and building=grandstand.

The documentation for these two tags is linked below.

If this is a cannon, then historic=cannon is correct and documented.

Many thanks for updating the speed limit. Could I just make one request - please include the unit e.g. "50 mph", as OpenStreetMap defaults to metric units.

Thanks. I'm not sure how you would do it using OsmAnd, so I've deleted it in osm.org/changeset/143887506

Is this already mapped as osm.org/node/2918084488

A quick though about roads signed as Quiet Lanes before I start the weekend...
You could add note="Quiet Lane" and/or something like designation=quiet_lane (but this could conflict with PRoW tagging) or the undocumented traffic_intervention=quiet_lane (tag used for some school streets and LTNs). That way, it's clear to other mappers why it's been tagged as a highway=living_street.

Have a good weekend.
