Actually, news reports https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckvgwpdnk07o suggest it closed last year. That would explain the lack of branding! See also note/4430138 .

Separately to that you seem to have made a rather poor job of mapping Brownley Road. Looking at the imagery I can see lots of driveways. In order to do a good job of "separate sidewalk" mapping you must map places where people can cross between the pavement and the road. Failure to do that leaves the situation _worse_ than the situation before.

Hello,
Earlier (on changeset/173023412 , which will have been emailed to you and you can see at https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=23159893 ) I mentioned the discussion going on the the UK forum about this. You seem to be ignoring it - as you're still mapping here please do drop in and say hello.
Best Regards,
Andy

I'm guessing that "crossing:signals=Tufnell Park" on way/968619222 is a typo :)

Hello,
Should "spawrow" be "sparrow" on e.g. node/10592477255 ?

Hello,
What is way/1435936890 supposed to be? It has no "highway" tag but does have "footway=crossing" (but I'm not sure what that means).
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Andy

A "highway" tag in OSM is supposed to have one of these values: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/highway#values . None of those are hashtags.
Things processing OSM data tend to do spatial searches, so it'll be obvious to them that this fuel pump is within way/118521382 ("Junction 14 Mayfield") that you added with the website https://junction14mayfield.ie/ - so they'll already know where it is.

Hello Ediats,
Someone has deleted the things that you added here because they say that they did not exist.
They did that before, after they asked you about it in changeset/163509587 , but you did not reply.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
I'm guessing that the "highway=#M7" is probably supposed to be some other tag? I'm not familiar with this sort of thing so alas I've no idea what that might be...

You've added "branch=York Station Loc" to the Sainsbos here but that's clearly rubbish due to data corruption in whatever fed their website at their end!

Hello,
You've moved the tags for "The Range" from the wider area to the building, but the forgets that the garden centre to the south is also part of the shop. To fix it it's probably easiest just to revert your edit.

Hello,
You've updated the brand and brand:wikidata on node/3270271462/history from "Go Outdoors Express" to "Go Outdoors". This is definitely a "Go Outdoors Express" not a "Go Outdoors". Both (as the wikidata for each makes clear) are ultimately owned by J D Sports.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Thanks for adding all this detail above Sowerby Bridge.
Just one thing to have a look at though - for "separate sidewalks" to work for routing they'll need to connect up though, because routers aren't capable of "jumping gaps". You can test routing using the buttons at the top left of osm.org. As an example osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=53.705627%2C-1.940629%3B53.705699%2C-1.940964#map=18/53.705111/-1.941761 is an attempt to route along the south of Towngate.
As an example, I've joined way/1426928386 to the road where it ends near the Rushcart.
If you want to indicate that there is a kerb there you can do so with a barrier=kerb node - see osm.wiki/Tag%3Abarrier%3Dkerb .
Best Regards,
Andy.
PS: Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

This is a Potlatch revisit of the iD editing done in 173756742 through 173759875. Everything in here was either not possible to do in iD or wasn't done because the track display in iD wasn't clear enough.

Hello,
NCN1 seems a bit odd at relation/15978999#map=19/52.962852/-0.021894 . It turns off the main road and then stops. There's a footpath that continues north, but that isn't tagged as allowing cycle access. Then the cycle route continues on the main road.
Further north relation/15978999#map=19/52.964399/-0.022771 there are another couple of odd gaps?
To look for gaps you can use https://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeMap?relationId=15978999 and then zoom in.
Best Regards,
Andy

Alas, talk of "fiction" here seems to have put this mapper off contributing - they made no more edits after this.
I walked along Apperley Road last night and noticed some problems remain, such as you can see at
osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_valhalla_foot&route=53.836212%2C-1.718577%3B53.835857%2C-1.7184#map=19/53.836098/-1.717636 .
I do have GPS markers of where the footpaths north and south of Apperley Road stop and start so I will (in the next month or so) update things. The other ones that haven't been tidied up further south will need to wait for local mappers as it isn't practical to do this stuff remotely.
Best Regards,
Andy

> not sure I fully understood what you meant

In my 29th and 30th changes is was still learning how to map things - "Is X better mapped as a Y or a Z": https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/26579848 . changeset/719269 was my 30th changeset, and if you look at the history of something in that https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/26579848 you can see a bit of flip-flopping between values.

@pitscheplatsch To be honest, in my 29th and 30th changesets I'm sure I was doing that too...

Hallo,
Hier ist Andy von der OSM-Datenarbeitsgruppe. Zunächst einmal vielen Dank an euch beide für euren Versuch, eine vernünftige Diskussion zu führen, anstatt einfach nur zurückzusetzen bzw. die Rücksetzung rückgängig zu machen.
Ein paar Dinge müssen jedoch klargestellt werden. Erstens ist OpenStreetMap eine Karte der aktuell existierenden Dinge. Wenn alte Gebäude abgerissen und durch neue ersetzt werden, behalten wir die alten Gebäude nicht dauerhaft in OSM, sondern löschen sie. Die alten Daten sind natürlich weiterhin zugänglich – führen Sie einfach eine Überführungssuche in den OSM-Daten durch, bevor das Gebäude gelöscht wurde.
Zweitens ist es absolut richtig, dass, wenn Eisenbahnen nicht mehr als Eisenbahnen genutzt werden und die Gleise entfernt werden, oft Infrastruktur (Brücken, Böschungen usw.) erhalten bleibt, und es ist völlig in Ordnung, diese verbleibende Infrastruktur als „railway=abandoned“ oder ähnlich zu kartieren. Wenn jedoch wirklich nichts mehr übrig ist, ist es nicht in Ordnung, diesen Tag zu verwenden. Ein Beispiel dafür, wo scheinbar nichts mehr übrig ist (zumindest auf den Bildern basierend), findet sich gleich neben diesem Änderungssatz unter osm.org/#map=19/50.766415/7.191619. Offenbar ist railway=abandoned dort nicht der richtige Tag.
Es stimmt zwar, dass es in Foren viele Diskussionen über die Kartierung ehemaliger Bahnstrecken gab, von denen keine Spuren mehr zu sehen sind. Ich denke jedoch, dass es eine klare Mehrheit gibt, die glaubt, dass „Dinge, die nicht mehr existieren und daher nicht mehr vermessen werden können, nicht in OSM gehören“. Der Vollständigkeit halber sei erwähnt, dass es auch eine bedeutende Minderheit gibt, die glaubt, dass OSM abgerissene und nicht mehr vermessbare Bahninfrastruktur enthalten sollte, und eine weitere bedeutende Minderheit ist der Meinung, dass etwas, das im Jahr 2025 keine Eisenbahnlinie ist, nicht mit dem Tag „Eisenbahn“ kartiert werden sollte.
Wer Karten nicht mehr existierender Eisenbahnstrecken mag, sollte die Stimmung besser einschätzen und sich bemühen, Beiträge in OpenHistoricalMap einzubringen, denn die Richtung ist klar. Ein weiterer klarer Vorteil von OpenHistoricalMap ist die Möglichkeit, Start- und Enddaten für alles hinzuzufügen, was in OSM gar nicht so einfach ist.
Eine Herausforderung stellt die Lizenz dar – die Lizenz von OSM stimmt nicht mit der von OHM überein, daher muss die Person, die die Daten zu OSM hinzugefügt hat, klarstellen, welche Lizenzen verwendet wurden, bevor die Daten übertragen werden können.
