Hi there, are you sure these are all heaths?

A lot of upland areas were wrongly tagged as "heath" when in fact they are more grassland.

I think this is fine, if not better than what was there before. In a place like London it certainly helps to see the house number.

And if these building names arent in the address, then how is correspondence sent and received? It's got to be in there somewhere!

Hi,

I'd also like to ask about a source for the same node Mateusz mentioned above, as I can't find anything related to it on the web.

Hello Bobolo Hilliary!
Welcome to OpenStreetMap :)

I just want to give you a few words of advice
- You don't need to name the buildings with what they are, because this can be shown through the other tags.
- You can show if buildings are permanent or semi-permanent through the "building:material=*" tag, for example "building:material=wood"
- Don't worry, you can see the edit history of each house by right clicking the house, clicking 'Query features', finding the house on the left, then clicking 'History' at the bottom
- You can press Q on your keyboard to make buildings square shaped

I've gone ahead and added some tags for you as well, but I recommend looking at the Wiki for more information: osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Happy mapping!

Alright, just remember your account is your responsibility!

Hi Jonny,

Why have you removed 'Derry' from the names here? The slash naming here is intentional and really shouldn't be changed without consulting the community.

Hi there,

I just want to ask you to be careful copying names in from Wikipedia, particularly regarding name:cy.

The Welsh Wikipedia uses their own style for place names, which is unofficial and not to be used. Any occurences of "Feneswela" may have stemmed from this. The official name for Venezuela in Welsh is Venezuela.

This is the source to use, it's from the Welsh Government and it is compatible with OSM licence:

Hi Bearman Creative,

Croeso i OSM! I just want to point a couple of things out to you

Buildings, when possible, should be squared - you can do this by clicking the building and pressing Q on your keyboard.

Also, house names should go in the top part of the address field, not the "name" field.

If you have any questions let me know!

Cofion and happy mapping

Hi there,

Are you sure these names and spellings are still being used?

Take for instance 'Blaen-uaun' - 'uaun' isn't a spelling you'd see very often these days
way/1334523768
plus the OS OpenData/OpenMap layers show the more modern 'Blaenwaun'

OSM is for mapping modern day features as they are now - for things like this I would recommend OpenHistoricalMap where you can map with time.

I reverted this changeset for the reasons left in the comment above.

changeset/174096925

Hi mojfgigbbgfg,

Welcome to OSM, but what's going on here? made a B road a track, you changed an admin boundary into a site, and also turned a river into a track.

way/790187046
relation/11371664
way/1270049764

I appreciate this is your first edit and it's fine to make mistakes, but please be careful when editing. iD has a tutorial you can follow if you're not sure. I will revert this changeset.

Cofion,
Ceirios

Hi there,

Thanks for editing here! I just want to let you know for 'destination', Llantwit Major and Llanilltud Fawr are the same place. Llanilltud Fawr is the Welsh name
