Hi Pete
If the speed limit has been reduced to 50 mph you should probably have removed the tag that says it is NSL?
Cheers Phil

Hi, your interpretation of these restrictions is a little wrong.
An empty circle applies to all vehicles, not just motor vehicles, including bicycles, so you should add bikes to the syntax.
Also the interpretation of sunset is incorrect, sunrise clearly is variable over several hours over the year. Anything from 16:30 to 22:30. The correct syntax would be destination @ (08:00-sunset).
I hope that these comments will be paased on via training as this is just one instance of what could be a wider problem.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for adding detail to the map. Should this also be amenity=pub?
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. In OSM phone numbers should be added in international format. I have corrected this.
Cheers Phil

No response so restoring landuse

Hi, I am not convinced adding such short term things as Christmas opening hours is a good idea. Will the Christmas eve/boxing days hours be the same next year?
Cheers Phil

Vandalism reverted

Vandalism reverted

Mapper did not respond, change to footway is kind of unlikely. Changing back to cycleway

Hi, why did you remove the industrial landuse from this object?

Hi, the tag foot=no should only be used if there are signs indicating that access on foot is prohibited. You changeset comment suggests that you are simply adding this prohibition because there are no pavements. As a rambler I can tell you that this is a very incorrect assumption and damaging to OSM data.
You should probably be using the tag sidewalk=none here.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit, however the correct way to tag somewhere that has closed is to change the amenity tag to disused:amenity rather that change the name. At the moment this is mapped as a cafe called Vacant.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edit.
I have just spotted a Lloyds TSB on the High Street and as you are local I wonder if you could correct it.
Thanks Phil

Hi, this edit looks a little strange. Has TJs really reopened here? Is your survey recent?

Cheers Phil

Isn't using highway=service for way 652521735 a little misleading? Not sure if you have been there, but it is very much a track from my experience as a local.

Thank you for that information, your edit was great please do keep adding to OSM. It was just seeing changes to the Shropshire Way which caused concern and whether they were known about.
Cheers Phil

Hi, thank you for your edit and for updating OSM.
Just a couple of quick questions
1. Were there diversion notices
2. Did the 'new' route have the new orange waymarks in place?
Cheers Phil

Posttowns are primarily for Royal Mail operational purposes, they are not intended to describe the geographical or political area.
Whilst not perfect, addr :city has been used to describe the place which is what local people will identify to. I am fairly sure that the people of Raunds do not consider themselves residents of Wellingborough.

My own small town suffers the same fate of being considered part of a larger town 20km away, it is a large political issue with the problems it causes with deliveries going to a similar address in a different town or even the police turning up to arrest someone with the same address, but in a different town.

OSM should be a geographical database, not tweaked to reflect a large organisations view of the world. When I travel I really don't care where the local Royal Mail comes from.

Maybe if there is a usecase for including the post town in OSM but that really should be a separate tag, maybe addr:posttown, but existing tags should reflect the geographic reality.

Mapping is great fun, by far my favourite way of updating the map is to go out and explore my local area.

Remote mapping using websites will by its nature favour the large chains, whereas surveying will add the independents that only exist in one place and are what make each High Street unique.

Please go out and explore, you will find some real gems and add the local knowledge that makes OpenStreetMap stand out from corporate maps.

Hi, this is a very odd name for a convienience shop, what is its actual function?
