Help yourself. I mapped these 9 years ago when tagging practices were somewhat more basic, so no problem with bringing them up-to-date.

Please keep the southglos:heritagetrail tag though; I believe that may still be being used somewhere in generating a custom rendering of the area.

Also note some markers may be mounted on wooden poles or on the side of buildings, so don't assume they're all on the ground. You may be able to find some images on Mapillary.

Points on a local history walking route, marked with brass plaques set into the pavement.

Sure. I'm not in the area - this was a drive-by survey, using whatever tags were in favour at the time. If you can improve the tagging, go for it.

Hi. Just looking at this one - this appears to be a bridleway with a public right of way. Any comment or anything I should be aware of before changing foot/bicycle/horse from 'private' back to 'designated'?

Came here to say the same thing as the previous commenter - the address added to this park is that of the Washington DC offices of the United States Bureau of Land Management, and not of the park itself.

A little unnecessary? Mapped correctly at the time (12 years ago). Looks like it was removed sometime between 2015 and 2017. https://maps.app.goo.gl/PSyzNDb8xrw1SvNJ6

Hi. I know this is an ancient changeset, but just to let you know it really is Brinsham with an 'n'. The original place name was Brinsham, the nearby lane is Brinsham Lane, and this is Brinsham Park/Brinsham Fields. When the school was named, a typo was made, and it became Brimsham Green with an 'm', but that's just the school - everything else is with an 'n'.

For example: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=51.555872&lng=-2.411563&z=17&pKey=168463378535696&focus=photo

I've added psv=yes as per your fixme, which allows routing of public service vehicles

I know this is an old one, but I've just noticed this edit.

Access tags work by the specific overriding the general. So a general motor_vehicle=no blocks traffic, then buses and taxis are specifically allowed by use of the psv=yes tag

motor_vehicle=bus isn't a thing. See access=* for the hierarchy of access tags and allowable values.

So it was already correctly allowing buses through; I've put it back to how it was.

Except building:min_level was correct :-)

Hi. Has this actually been built? If not, it should either be highway=construction (if construction is in progress), or highway=proposed (as it was before the edit).

Secondly, even if built, it probably shouldn't be highway=motorway_link unless it's actually under motorway regulations. highway=tertiary would be more likely.

Also, the name should just be the name - avoid putting descriptions in there. So no (unfinised [sic] M49 link); feel free to stick that bit in the description or note tag instead.

Cheers

Oh, and even further afield... it's caught buildings in Wales too. Llanmartin Primary School, Bristol NP18 2HB??

Hang on a mo... just noticed that these changes stretch quite far out of Bristol. For example, in the upper-right part of this changeset, the post town is Wotton-under-Edge, but you've added addr:city=Bristol. Even addresses in Wotton-under-Edge itself now have a post town of Bristol? What was the source for which post town to add?

Oh, and I just noticed that was your first changeset! Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Hi
We can't use developer maps - OpenStreetMap has explicit permission to trace details off Bing imagery and the others, but we don't have permission to copy from DWH's copyrighted plans. It's also quite likely that their map (and planning applications etc) is in itself derived from Ordnance Survey data, and we must avoid even a whiff of that getting into our data (in fact, that's the whole reason OpenStreetMap started in the first place). There aren't many hard rules in OpenStreetMap, but number one is "don't copy from other maps".

I know it's painful after putting the effort in, but I feel this ought to be reverted. Options to then redo it in a 'safe' way include walking the roads/paths and taking GPS traces, using something like Mapillary on your phone to take a sequence of geotagged photos (that's how I've done the rest of the area). Precise building placement and outlines may need to wait until imagery does arrive, but you can still add nodes in approximately the right position and add addresses to those.

Shout if you need any help.

Cheers,
Paul (southglos)

Hi
Which imagery is this from? I can't see these houses in any of the available Bing, Esri, Mapbox or Maxar imagery - am I missing out on something? :-)

Hi again

Same comment as previous changesets - watch out for accidentally connecting things together. This one connected a 132kV electricity cable to a pond... bzzzzt!

I've disconnected it for you.

Hi

A few comments on this one - firstly, please can we have changeset comments? I keep an eye on changes local to me, and it's really useful to know what has changed and why; e.g. "Added cliffs after a survey". Blank or garbage comments tend to signal spammers and vandals, so if you're keen to help build the map, don't get yourself labelled like that!

Secondly, take care with what you're joining together - some of the nodes for this cliff got attached to the road. Seeing as the way for the road represents the centreline, a cliff overlaid on a road means one side of the road is at the top, and one side is at the bottom! Similarly with admin boundaries: generally, try not to attach physical things to them. Zoom in closer if nodes are accidentally getting glued to existing things.

Finally, the cliff itself. I'm not sure this really qualifies - it's steep, yes, but it's not a vertical drop. Also, doing it as an area implies the drop is all the way round the outside, which is clearly isn't. Maybe tagging it as natural=bare_rock would be better? See natural=cliff

But I see you're new. In which case - welcome to OpenStreetMap! Use the wiki to familiarise yourself with what's what; keep going (treading lightly at first), and above all, have fun building the map!

Cheers, Paul

Ha, no problem. There *are* some wacky house names out there, so I thought I'd ask just in case :-)

Hiya
I know this is two years late, but I've just spotted "Wnidy Ridge" at 165 Bishopthorpe Road. I'm assuming a typo, but just checking first!
Cheers, Paul.
