Hello Henry,
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world as it exists, not as you might like it to. What you probably want ed to do was to ensure that the access tags on paths etc. were correct. Why you chose to delete woodland etc. I have no idea. I'll restore them and then review the access tags on paths etc.
Best Regards,
Andy

For completeness, as http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=614958795 shows, the previous version by Reitu had the same issue. As per https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-za/2021-May/001302.html I'll sort out that other users edits too (once I've finished these).

Hello,
I'm currently trying to repair the road merge problems described at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-za/2021-May/001302.html . Unfortunately as part of that I've removed the name:etymology:wikidata links. I'd imagine that the tidy-up will be complete in about a week, and after that it'll be safe to add the links back for Govan Mbeki et al.
A revert was definitely needed here because among many others way/743086293 had ended up with "lanes=2;3".
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Andy from the OSM's Data Working Group here.
I'm currently trying to repair the road merge problems described at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-za/2021-May/001302.html and noticed that the tags on way/738335233 seem implausible. "lanes=3;4;5;6;2" has clearly been merged from several previous ways. Please check the historical data using overpass when you see tags like this.

Hello,

I'm currently trying to repair the road merge problems described at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-za/2021-May/001302.html and noticed that you'd fixed the tags on way/64764741 . Previously the truck extended further south - I've restored this now. You can check historical data using overpass, in this case:

Olá, natureza do Google,

Você excluiu um pico aqui - pode explicar por quê? Muitas outras pessoas contribuíram para isso - você pode ver isso em http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=2669903811.

Além disso, sempre use comentários do changeset que expliquem o que você fez e por quê. "a" não é um bom comentário sobre o changeset. Veja osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments para mais detalhes.
Cumprimentos,
Andy

Hello Google nature,

You've deleted a peak here - can you explain why? Lots of other people had contributed to it - you can see that at http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=2669903811 .

Also, please always use changeset comments that explain what you did and why. "a" is not a good changeset comment. See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for more details.

Bonjour S_N_T et bienvenue sur OpenStreetMap !
OSM est une carte du monde tel qu'il existe réellement. Il ne doit pas contenir de modifications de blagues. Vous pouvez continuer à cartographier les choses dans OSM - mais s'il vous plaît, ne faites que des modifications sensées.
Meilleures salutations,
Andy Townsend, au nom du groupe de travail sur les données de l'OSM.

Hello S_N_T and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
OSM is a map of the world as it actually exists. It shouldn't contain any joke edits. You're welcome to continue mapping things in OSM - but please, sensible edits only.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

"File:Null_Island_2017.jpg" doesn't look to be a valid image?

(apologies for not spotting it earlier, by the way)

Hello,
This changeset has copied the tags from the existing hotel node/4747951301 onto the building so that it looks like there are two hotels here. Why have you done this? In what way was it wrong before?
Best Regards,

An edge case is where a trail is still visible on satellite imagery, but on the ground it's no longer there. In that case it makes sense to record the fact that despite it being visible on imagery, in reality it's not a path any more. way/678188487 is an example of one that I've mapped like that near to me.

Hello,
Andy from OSM's Data Working Group here (someone mentioned this discussion over at OSM US' slack, for info).
If a trail exists on the ground, it's perfectly fine to add it to OpenStreetMap. If access is somehow restricted, then use access tags to describe who, if anyone, is allowed to use it.
Regards,
Andy
