Hi @JayTurnr

In your first comment you have linked to an old 'help' entry last updated in 2013, but have failed to mention either;
osm.wiki/Land_use_and_areas_of_natural_land
or,
osm.wiki/Land_use
or
osm.wiki/How_to_map_landuse
all of which are considerably more recent, and indicate that there are several different ways of mapping land use - there is not one correct way.

I fail to see how I can survey an area over numerous visits, then accurately map it, and yet have my contribution labelled by you as 'I can see you've gone to a great extent to add many details, however, some of the features you added are in fact more harmful than useful.'

way/136164600/history , until you deleted it and many surrounding features, mapped a traffic island and the turn lane accessing it. The before (mapped by me 9 years ago) & the 'after' recently mapped by you may be seen at https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-change-viz?c=101519435#19/51.41313/0.16549. Please see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer, which also covers tagging for the router. **traffic_calming=island** has over 27,000 instances mapped as a node, over 37,000 mapped as a 'way' (drawn as an island), and a further 418 as a relation. I suggest that you have your changeset reverted - you can find out how to do this on the wiki, or ask on the Talk-GB mailing list https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb. If you need any further help in having your changeset reverted, please get back in touch with me.

I notice that you have also been deleting sections of pathways with the adjacent golf course, and then retracing them - the approved method of making improvements is to adapt the original, not delete other peoples work.

Thank you

Hi, I'm not sure if you have any new information, but I think you will find this is actually a footpath with no vehicle access. I don't visit that area very often, but unless you have strong evidence I would not tag it with something that would allow a motor vehicle to drive there.

Hi & welcome. I've had a quick look and this looks good to me - I'm not familiar with that particular path or connecting roads, but it looks likely on the imagery.
Just something you may consider (you don't have to) is uploading a gps trace - easy if you have a smartphone - search on 'openstreetmap' and several will probably be listed, and you can upload the trace straight from the app.
Keep up the good work

Yes, I was called away before I had the chance to change my 'note' to the necessary change - done now.

Hi & welcome to OpenStreetMap. If I can offer a little friendly guidance from one mapper to another;
Try to save more often, and before changing the location you are working on - it looks a little suspicious to change things in St Pauls Cray, and Medway & there are some new people who do not come to help - all your edits, as far as I can see, are good, but it makes it difficult for mappers to make sure you have good intent. Also, if/when you make a mistake (we all do at some point), it may be that your changeset will need reverting and it's better for you if it's not too big.

Regards & keep up the good work

Hi & Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I hope you continue to map & learn - it can really give a great sense of satisfaction.
If I can offer a little advice;
1. Do your uploads (Save in iD) for each area - I'm not sure what you've mapped in the US & Canada, but it seems strange/suspicious to mix it with edits in England.
2. Try to match the outlines of the buildings a little closer - you may need to zoom in a little closer (scale showing about 20 metres seems to work well). This guide may help you https://learnosm.org/en/hot-tips/tracing-rectangular-buildings/
Regards & keep up the good work.

Hi gla-gis. Glad to see you've made a start, but I think you need to have a read of this page amenity=drinking_water which should help you with the tags you will need. Hashtags doesn't actually exist as a 'tag' in OSM.

I think you're right! Not sure how I managed that one. I've corrected it, and another duplicate in changeset/61407247#map=18/51.39683/0.17257

Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi @user_5359 - thanks for that, you're right - I'll sort them out later today! Regards

Hi, this relates to http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/352 where are edits are from December 2013. The only way I could get the imagery to load was through the Tasking manager for that task - it identifies as Tasking Manager -#352. The imagery is pretty poor.
I've deleted the duplicates from square
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/352#task/656
which was the one I had completed.

If you are going to send messages concerning the edits from that period it would be helpful if you included that information.

Regards
