Hello,
Under what licence is data from data.humdata.org made available?
Best Regards,
Andy

It'd be greater to see a wider discussion about this, perhaps in the UK part of the forum c.osm.org?
Are there photos available along this length (e.g. from Mapillary)?

Thanks!

Hello,
Just to let you know, I think that this edit might have introduced a gap in the "Dedham Vale National Landscape" relation relation/9336585 . I've filled in the gap in changeset/160305838 .
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Here you've re-added a "highway-path" tag back to way/550162526/history which I'd marked as "note=Still nothing on this alignment" in the hope that that would stop someone re-adding it from some old imagery?
I'm not quite sure how that works with "Update deprecated tags. " :)
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
I wonder if you have any idea how the "Way of Learning" relation connects to the coast? There's a gap in it at relation/11597074#map=18/54.912007/-1.375525 .
Best Regards,

Hello "Verney Fields" and welcome to OpenStreetMap.
OSM is a map of things as the really exist in the real world. It's not a vehicle for political argument or "satire".
You're welcome to continue with OSM as long as you map sensibly, If you don't, you'll be prevented from doing so permanently.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

Thanks - from memory relation/109767/history / https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1VAb was never signed as NCN62 but was signed as TPT, so leaving it in just relation/4139162 makes sense.

160174336

Hello,
One more thing - you've deleted some things that were previously mapped here such as the Co-Op way/158249037/history and remapped it with far less detail at way/1341830684 . Was the previous detail wrong, or should the old tags be transferred to the new building?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
In this changeset you've deleted way/26579103 , which was a cycleway between the bridge over the railway and Market Street. Is that really no longer there? If not, how does the Isle of Anglesey Coast Path join now? You can see that there are two gaps at relation/374890#map=19/53.309924/-4.632099 .
Best Regards,
Andy

@lberges Please do discuss this in the forum. You know what will happen if you don't.

Hello fwonp,
You've added a house here, yet the changeset comment is "swimming"?
I'm confused?
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks!

The previous value was a bit odd (comma rather than a semicolon) and so needed changing to something.
What is the actual correct value probably depends on survey local knowledge or really good photos.
If it was me and it looks like "mostly mud" then I'd use "mud" for the surface value; I'd only use a semicolon-separated value if it really was a mix of the two.

If the surface here is "mostly mud" then I'd probably have gone with "surface=mud" (and "sand" for "mostly sand" nearby).
If mutiple values are needed, then senicolons are usually used as separators.
Data consumers have the choice whether to use the whole value or just the part up to the semicolon.
You can see which tag values are used by which projects by looking at the "projects" tag at taginfo.osm.org.
The maps I produce show tidal and non-tidal mud and sand as different patterns, and because "tidalflat" is a bit vague, use the surface value.
Generally speaking, if a rarely-used value can be obviously replaced with another value that means exactly the same thing it makes sense to do so, but it doesn't really make sense to remove a rare value altogether.
Presumably you've had a look at different sets of imagery here and already have an idea that "yes, that's more like mud than sand" (or vice versa) so should be in a position to decide which - or if it is not clear, "surface=mud;sand".

Hello on way/724756959/history you've moved the surface tag. Would "surface=mud", "surface=sand", or even "surface=mud;sand" work here?
Best Regards,
Andy

It is still listed at https://www.londis.co.uk/our-stores/strensall-service-station , but that might just be a matter of time.

One thing that I noticed when doing this update was that some paths are signed on the ground as public footpaths but don't appear at https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#16/53.7489/-2.0246/H/P (data from local councils via Rowmaps). I'm assuming that on-the-ground signage trumps data that local authorities.

This section removed some dupicate abandoned railway that now forms Nidderdale Greenway.
Most of the western section of Nidderdale Greenway is clearly exactly on the old railway alignment and was more accurate than the duplicate former railway that had been added from some iffy old map.

Thanks for fixing!
