Hi,

way/656705221/

Are you sure that this path is correct? As in crossing other paths and the playground.

Hi,

In Ireland, place and street names, etc. are a mess. Many rural roads have no name. Many roads have more than one name or more than one spelling. Many roads, especially new ones in housing estates, have ambiguous names. Many addresses do not match the name of the road. OSM has large gaps, but is actually one of the better places for nuanced names.

Logainm (in the Irish language, loga + ainm = logbook + name): www.logainm.ie is a university-based project on place names, in association with the government's The Placenames Branch: https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-rural-and-community-development-and-the-gaeltacht/organisation-information/the-placenames-branch/ Logainm has a series of sister projects for similar topics.

The Irish chapter of OSM collaborates with Logainm, insofar as we report issues with names, e.g. etymology, mis-interpretations, mis-spellings, duplicate entries, missing entries. In turn, they provide us with the proper spellings and use OSM on their site. There is a issue with Logainm, insofar as official sources have gaps when it comes to things like the names of bridges, roundabouts, cross roads, etc. and new names. logainm:ref=No entry and logainm:url=No entry exist because of these gaps. They are a way to identify gaps in Logainm and stops OSM users from repeatedly looking for an entry that doesn't exist - this can be time consuming, as many names are repeated, e.g. "The Court" seems to apply to 2,087 different roads.

There are 92,455 objects tagged logainm:ref=*. There are 80,156 objects tagged logainm:url=*. I suspect the main difference is with waterway=*.

I would be strongly against removing such a value, unless it is replaced by a correct value.

Hi,

You have a fixme here. "fixme=is this actually a waterway? no clear evidence of it from streetlevel imagery at the supposed road crossing."

If you look at Bing Streetside, one side of the road has two gates. If you look to the right of the left-hand gate, you can see the void above where the stream (no more than a ditch really) is. You can't actually see the stream.

The short section of wall is also more suggestive of bridge than culvert. I've shortened the bridge span a lot.

However, looking at GSGS 3906, I do think the southern end of this stream might be confused with a road and it should be truncated.

Hi,

Welcome to OSM.

Just be careful to create somewhat concise changesets - this one stretches from Poyntzpass to Tallaght. :)

Hi,

Welcome to OSM and thank you for your contributions.

Please be aware that there are agreed standards for certain things, e.g. B-roads are mapped as highway=secondary. :) way/526811183/

Is is there now? 7 Sept 2023 imagery.

Could you check the name here? :)

You have a good point.

However, it does look a lot more sophisticated than the typical farm-based anaerobic digester.

I have no knowledge of the actual site.

Hi,

node/13440004009/

There are maybe 12 untagged nodes along Herbert Park road, possibly meant to be trees.

Aha, not a fernal crozier then, or even an infernal crozier!!

Hi,

node/10969023710/

Is "symbol=fernl crozier" spelled correctly?

Hi,

relation/19414613/

This is tagged:

"Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon District Council".

Should it be tagged:

"Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon District", i.e. without "Council" at the end.

Row of bollards mapped as trees.

Both can be mapped as lines instead of nodes. :)

Hi,

way/812510743/history

This was changed from surface=ground to surface=path

Might something else have been intended?

Hi,

fixme=Marked as 33KV line but has a number of intermediate transformers & no disconnects which seems uncommon for a 33KV - I suspect it's 11KV

I may have mentioned this before. NIE Networks do connect individual houses / farms / clusters to 33 kV if there is no 11 kV nearby. See here: https://openinframap.org/#12.89/54.12175/-6.17409 for an extreme example

Hi,

way/1138324691

There is fixme=Can this line be deleted since there is a polygon for this golf course?

That line appears to be the bulk of the polygon of the golf club.

It could of course be altered to make it a complete circle.
