There seems to be a dogleg in a railway track about here:

way/4013233#map=19/52.60805/-2.12385

Hi, I notice that you deleted way/23243616/history that previously used to extend between Thornborough Road and the Bosworth Trail - is there really no access there now (not even on foot?)

Wouldn't a more robust approach be to look for the admin centre of the country relation relation/59470 ? If you're relying on capital=yes on a node, I suspect that you might get false positives.

Actually - it's probably worth asking on the help site what current "best practice" is.

Hi,

Thanks for changing the name on e.g. node/2328269360/history back from Serbian to Albanian (I'm assuming that that part of the Republic of Kosovo is majority Albanian-speaking). However, I notice that you've also removed the name:sr from it too. If both names are in use, or were in use relatively recently, then it makes sense to keep the "name:sr" of Jazhincë set to "Јажинце", even though the "name" is "Jazhincë".

Obviously I'm aware that the language used for the names of places is very sensitive in the area, and unfortunately as you've noticed there have been people renaming places in Kosovo to Serbian (places where there isn't a Serb-speaking majority locally).

Anyway - hope you don't mind me mentioning this - please don't hesitate to get in touch if you've got any questions.

Would it be possible to do "waterway direction fix" changes in changesets with smaller bounding boxes? This one covers most of the planet, and given that few of the rivers are actually named it's difficult to work out which areas are affected. For example, I'm in Derbyshire, England - how do I know if any near me were wrong?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I notice that you've removed the name:sr from node/1974025441/history If the majority of people locally refer to it as "Dren" rather than "Дрен" then it does make sense for the "name" in OpenStreetMap to be "Dren" rather than "Дрен". However, if both names are in use, or were in use relatively recently, then it makes sense to keep the "name:sr" set to "Дрен", even though the "name" is "Dren".

Obviously I'm aware that the language used for the names of places is very sensitive in the area, and unfortunately there have been people renaming places in Kosovo back to Serbian (places where there isn't a Serb-speaking majority locally).

Anyway - hope this helps; if you've any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hi - currently way/326327046 doesn't actually join to the road at either end. Presumably in reality it does? Also, does it really run so very close in parallel to way/34415760 , or is one perhaps a duplicate of the other?

Thanks for that. Where it wasn't something that you added originally, it might be worth explaining to the previous mapper what happened, in case they don't add the "old" tags again in the future. Also of course one of the main reasons for the "discuss" part of the "mechanical edit policy" is so that people who might be using this data know to look for the "new" tag rather than the "old" one. Even though there aren't many total objects (even taking together the other changesets) it may still come as a surprise to seomone expecting to see "bicycle_counter" rendered on their map.

What was the source of the data? Presumably you've cycled past the German or Danish ones :)

That sort of analysis is what helps other mappers to work together, so it really would help if in future you saved between each geographical fix and explained what was done there ("mAproulette.org" doesn't really say anything unfortunately. It would be especially useful to the (often new) mappers who created the problems that you're fixing - if they don't know that what they doing is wrong, they'll keep doing it.

Hi - this is a huge changeset. In order to find out if there are items affected by it near me, it'd be much better if it was smaller.

Hi, this is a very wide changeset - it looks very much like a mechanical edit. Are you only changing tags that you yourself have added, or should it have been discussed somewhere first as per osm.wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy ?

Given that https://github.com/mapbox/map-feedback/issues/540 isn't accessible, perhaps it would be worth copying the full text of the feedback to the changeset comment (or if it's too long) to a changeset discussion? Or perhaps, if the feeback issue definitely refers to something that needs fixing in OSM, transfer it to an OSM note so that everyone can see what was said and where, so that they can (perhaps with local knowledge) check what's been added.

In this case, for example, it's not clear to me that "5a doods lane market street Alnwick" means that the building that you've changed is 5a. It's actually at the very end of Market Street, so it can't be 5a Market Street. Doods Lane runs under the building so they're probably referring to an address on Doods Lane. As to exactly what property it is, who knows? Surely in this case it's better to leave an OSM note so that a local familiar with the area can check rather than just guessing remotely (in this case, almost certainly incorrectly).

Again, the source https://github.com/mapbox/map-feedback/issues/540 seems to be unreachable. Could you explain?

This seems to be a duplicate of node/926542939 - surely some mistake!

OK, exactly how many Harlech Castles do we need here? At the default zoom of this changeset I can see three. I find it hard to believe that there is a hill called "Harlech Castle" within the middle of Harlech Castle!

Is node/3295427561 really a peak? It seems to duplicate the name of the wood that it is part of.

Is this not an exact duplicate of node/3074093224 ?

Is node/3295695129 perhaps a duplicate of the archaeological site node to the northeast (both nodes are obviously within the same boundary)?

Is this really a "peak" called "Abergwynant Woods"? It seems an odd name.

What's the source for this? It's clearly not the OS 7th series as that has Mellor Moor labelled elsewhere.
