Sorry - I reverted this changeset in my changeset changeset/31491096

It was just too destructive. Remember OpenStreetMap is a shared map, like wikipedia is a shared encyclopedia. Changes you make to it affect everyone's version.

Did you mean to remove the highway=residential tag from Copperfield Street in this edit? It broke a match against Ordnance Survey http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=200074

Cool. Good work. Oh, and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Did you mean to delete David Wildman Lane in this edit? There's now a broken match against Ordnance Survey Locator: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=961332

Might be better to use the alt_name= tag for "Watery Lane" rather than bracketize it.

name=*

Hmm you seem to have managed to break quite a few street name matches between OSM and Ordnance Survey Locator in this and other edits in the past few days. Examples:
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=155337
(where you seem to have merged two roads with different names into one)
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=34948
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=651643
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=298084 (similar merging problem here?)

Would be great if you could fix these.

You seem to have managed to nuke Northern Road out of existence in doing this edit: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=545899

Are you absolutely sure about the Apollo Way -> Apollo Road change? Ordnance Survey Locator seems to think it's Apollo Way: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=37747

(you win, that is)

A free map.

Hi,

Try not to use descriptive "names". If a path is unnamed, just don't give it a name. (I've removed the name now). Other than that, a good first edit - cut-throughs are really important & useful additions to OSM. Keep up the good work.

Sorry, I reverted this edit because it was just too destructive. Remember, this is a global, shared map and changes you make to the map affect everyone. A bit like wikipedia.

If you need any more help with the tools you can always refer to https://help.openstreetmap.org/ or ask someone in person on http://irc.openstreetmap.org/

Actually to be fair Locator seems to be a little confused: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=183672

You sure about Katharine Road? Ordnance Survey Locator disagrees: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=151501

Are you sure about this? There's something that looks an awful lot like a road on the bing imagery I'm looking at and Ordnance Survey Locator seems to think this road's here http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=893570

Did you mean to cause a removal of the name "Eastmoor Lane" in this edit? It broke an OS Locator match: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=255096

What you have to do is "split" the highway at the node where it changes. Then you can rename the two halves separately. If you want to do this in Potlatch, see osm.wiki/Potlatch_2/Primer#Advanced_edits .
If you use a modern browser (not Internet Explorer), you can also use the "iD" editor, which is slightly easier and I would recommend. To split a way in iD, select the node in question and click the scissors button that appears from the "pie" menu.

The whole way along? Ordnance Survey Locator seems to think it's called Beloe Street just at the SE end: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=80022

(welcome to OSM, keep up the good work)

Great stuff
