Who am I?

  • I’m a uni student in Aberystwyth.
  • I try to use public transport or cycling when possible.
  • Pronouns: she/her.
  • You can also call me Lily.

OSM Wiki page: osm.wiki/User:Fgjgdrou
I am also on the OSM forum under the same name (https://community.openstreetmap.org/u/fgjgdrou/), though I don’t post much there. My OSM fediverse account: @Lily@en.osm.town


Editors

I use a variety of editors for what I do. At the moment, I use SCEE when I’m out and about, use iD for general editing, and JOSM for certain more complicated edits (e.g. those concerning more than simple relations).

Whilst I don’t use JOSM a lot at the moment, I am currently trying to learn it more, and use it for more editing, so you will likely see me use it for various matters. Whilst I don’t think I’ll ever stop using iD completely for all matters (especially as it is simple and convenient for small edits), I think that over time I will likely do more editing in JOSM, and less in iD.


Some of my mapping projects that I have done

  • Corrected the naming on various UK rail lines and add wikidata tags,
  • Updated the operator tagging on the Channel Tunnel,
  • Removed old Eurostar route relations
  • Added UK features to OpenRailwayMap,

My Mapping Interests

Ways (Roads, Paths, etc)

  • Adding cycle & walking infrastructure,
  • Lighting,

Nodes (including buildings)

  • Separating out buildings to avoid ambiguity,
  • One large pet peeve of mine is multiple addresses to 1 building. In the field, I typically enter them as a range, but when I can sit down and use a more powerful editor, I try and separate them out into different buildings.
  • Adding addresses (I feel that this is a major downside of using OSM in a lot of places, so I want to fix that),

Miscellaneous

  • Adding accessibility related details (tactile paving, kerb ramps, surface, etc),
  • Again, I like to try and include lighting in roads/paths,
  • I want to add to this publicly avaliable resource, free for others, because of what it is.

Trains

  • As someone with a lot of knowledge about trains, I try to add data to the map. Previous edits have included re-naming all of the WOE, SWM, and CM (lines) to the correct name with a Wikidata tag, and adding many signals with full UK tagging.
  • I also add features to OpenRailwayMap, and document their tagging.
