Per https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/problematic-access-changes-by-microsoft-mappers-in-the-uk/117945/11 , could you please explain what you changed here and why?

Also, the whole public bridleway is also definitely bicycle=yes (there's a legal right to cycle along bridleways in England and Wales) - but I appreciate that you didn't add that tag here.

The wiki statement "Roads used for access to permanent human settlements or facilities should generally not use this tag" is on one level utter rubbish (because, as here, there's very often a mix of access to both fields _and_ the people who live in or near them) and also understandable as a pushback against (I think) a previous version of the iD editor's suggestion that "highway=track" be used for more than just agricultural access: osm.wiki/ID/Controversial_Decisions#Calling_a_highway=track_an_%22unmaintained_track_road%22 .
Whenever changing highway tags ideally you should do an actual survey, but if you can't do that you absolutely should look at the available sources, and here OS OpenData suggests that your "residential" road is probably functionally someone's driveway, as well as being the start of the track going west.

Someone at Microsoft has said (see https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/problematic-access-changes-by-microsoft-mappers-in-the-uk/117945/4 ) that they'll review these edits for errors - I hope they are doing that.
With a DWG hat on I don't think I'm going to be reviewing all 2714 or so remaining ones - in the event of no action by Microsoft all that I can see that I could usefully do is to block accounts to force a review - but obviously it makes sense to try and help people understand some of the issues first.

@Spaghetti%20Monster%F0%9F%8D%9D You haven't answered the question :)

"bar_billiards" is a completely different game to billiards.

@Spaghetti%20Monster%F0%9F%8D%9D - have you ever been to this area of Cyprus?

Hello,
I don't think that there is anything that suggests that way/812960030/history is part of the public road network, is there? OS OpenData suggests not (just look at that layer in an editor) and the rights of way data suggests that the whole thing is actually bridleway: https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#16/50.9962/-0.1375/H/P .

Hello,
Sorry for not spotting this comment for 5 months!
There are a number of "iD relation" issues, some of which you can see at https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+relation .
What happened here was basically due to https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/10184 . When you remap something and you want to add it back to the relation, you need to choose which relation to add it to. The fundamental problem is that iD does not show object IDs, so (here) you have to choose between the name "EuroVelo 2 - Capitals Route - part United Kingdom 5" and the name "EuroVelo 2 - Capitals Route - part United Kingdom". The latter is "type=superroute", but iD doesn't show relation type either.
Also, when you hover over a way member of either relation iD will highlight all the same ways, because for superroutes it shows ways in constituent routes.
The (largely undocumented) answer is to find the relation number that you want by clicking on (in this case) way/1272629446 and "view on OSM". That tells you the relation number (in this case 5479817) and in iD when selecting a "parent relation" you can actually search (which isn't obvious) and can also search by number (even less so).
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Paul,
"addr:village" makes much more sense to me.
As for post town tagging, maybe it needs a run across the mailing list or even a poll on the forum. The last round brought forth gems like https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2019-January/022424.html and https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2019-January/022413.html (and, to be fair plenty of others with different views).
Cheers,
Andy

Oops - wrong account - should have been @SomeoneElse2

This changeset is massive only because the gas pipeline way/196268956 is very long!

Hello,
I'm not convinced that High Bentham (misspelt here as "Hgh Bentham") is a suburb of Lancaster! It's a very long way away and in a different county.
Wars have started for less :)

From the canal, this just looks like residential gardens.
Do you have a link to the "OS Open Greenspace" imagery that suggested otherwise?

Hello,
What you've called the Doncaster Bypass here is not signed as that.
In my recollection (driving it for 40 years or so) it never has been.

X is inaccessible to anyone and the two press articles will just be regurgitating press releases from the MOD, which leaves a couple of recent (post 2009) documents from them. Even https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/63ca9693d3bf7f24b35c0f32/FOI2022-09171.pdf , despite looking like something from the 1970s, is dated 2021.
My guess is that someone there got confused and "Towthorpe Lane" (as Towthorpe Moor Lane is also commonly called) got made into "Towthorpe Line" (see https://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/5_Regt_RA , https://ffhyork.weebly.com/uploads/8/2/0/5/8205739/ordnance_depot_railway_-_historical_notes_maps_and_pictures.pdf et al).
Historically it was always just "REME" (the operators of the site before the Army medics moved in) and gets referred to that in error even recently: https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2017-04-03/travel-strensall-barracks-area-north-yorks-crash/ .

Hello kvaziq, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've added node/12174392649 here, but that seems to be within another school - way/174136303 .
Maybe they are the same one?
Best Regards,
Andy
