I would change it, yes.

Welsh vs Irish and Scots Gaelic are not mutually intelligible and I have absolutely no idea where to begin with pronouncing these unfortunately, and I'm sure it's the same the other way around.

Welsh, Breton and Cornish (Brythonic branch) are known as P-Celtic whereas Irish and Scots Gaelic (Goidelic branch) are Q-Celtic based on phonetic differences, this article explains a bit more in the third section

Sorry, only just noticed these comments as I was looking on my hdyc page!

Steòrnabhagh is not Welsh at all, and we typically use the English where there isn't one. I'm not sure what Welsh Wiki was thinking here, but they are actually awful with place names and cannot be relied upon.

Hi David,

I'm assuming you've removed the Wikidata tag as it prevented you from editing the name.

Please don't do this. If you scroll down, there's a little table where you can edit fields and keep the tag. I've restored the wikidata tag now.

Cofion,

Sorry for the late response - I was going to say, we can't use those websites as they're incompatible with OpenStreetMap's licence.

Hi there,

Where are you getting postcode info from?

Cheers

Thank you for these fixes, very much appreciated! I'm trying to spot them as I edit but it's not always clear

Hi Mauls,

What have you added here? Just "South Wales" isn't very helpful

Cheers,

Yep, sadly, at least the ones you've got from the postcode finder.

There are some threads on the forums where people have got postcodes from UPRN data - it's not something I do but it may help you.

Unfortunately we can't use the Royal Mail Postocde Finder as the copyright isn't compatible with the licence that OpenStreetMap uses

Hi! Looks good

With regards to your question, you choose either one or the other (one real life feature = one element on OSM)

If it's likely to be a mixed use building, like if the barber lives above the shop, it's recommended to use a node and put the level= tag on it.

Hi there, welcome!

You don't need to remove the address tags if they are correct.

Thanks for this (and for naming them too) :)

Bonsoir et bienvenue!

Vous avez modifié une route en Irlande et supprimé les tags name:en et lane_markings=yes way/4074526

Aussi, je vois que vous écrirez des commentaires simples sur vos groupes de modifications (comme "août 2026", "v", "x", "c"), il faut écrire les commentaires avec des 'manières adéquates', il y a quelques exemples ici sur le Wiki:

Merci,

Hi there,

What are the sources for some of these Welsh names? Did you translate them yourself?

Hi slapperSam, welcome to OSM

These notes you're making seem to be personal notes - they are being uploaded to a database!

Could you please check your app settings?

Ah thank you for explaining :)

Don't worry, the import will probably add it again.

Hello,

Why did you remove the UPRN here?
