| 129660860 | almost 2 years ago | OK, I understand. It's just a bit misleading for anyone walking around expecting a castle! And OSM isn't meant to map temporary/personal things like ownership anyway, so I'll revert. |
| 129660860 | almost 2 years ago | This looks like vandalism - there is nothing on the aerial photo. Can you give a good reason why this shouldn't be reverted? |
| 112807209 | about 4 years ago | Please use the address tags as previously advised - e.g. addr:housenumber=* addr:housename=*. "99" is not a name
|
| 112391756 | about 4 years ago | Hi there. I suggest you map addresses with the tags in addr=* rather than using the name=x tags, as this is usually to show named buildings, e.g. office blocks or public buildings.

| 108004631 | over 4 years ago | Hi there, welcome to OSM. just a note to say I'm not sure you should be adding "Byway" to the name of these byways. This is normally reserved for byways (or any other feature) which has an actual name. I can appreciate that you might not necessarily be able to see from the main map that this track is a byway as only the track itself is rendered. However, OSM is primarily a data repository and the map is a representation of that data. Given UK Rights of Way are relatively niche in the grand scheme of things but important in the UK, there are different renders focusing on that - e.g. see https://www.mapthepaths.org.uk/# You could also look at osm.wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom#Public_Rights_of_Way for specific guidance. I would consider tagging Marshcroft Lane as a track rather than a road. I don't know this route, but if the road is not surfaced this is usually how to do it, although you can also tag as highway=unclassified and surface=unpaved. I would say highway=track implies less likely to be used by motor vehicles, more likely to be private etc, whereas highway=unclassified implies a public, metalled road. Other tags can clarify this though, but on the map highway=track are rendered like this way/23713498 as opposed to looking like roads as your new way does. All of this is open to debate though. Happy Mapping! Stephen |
| 64024378 | about 7 years ago | Hey, thanks for your contribution. Just a note to say that a slightly better way of doing this would be to not delete the object and add a new one, but move the nodes of the object to the right position. This is quicker and also means that the history of the object is maintained with a single ID |
| 59959267 | over 7 years ago | Definitely not a working farm here - used to be once, but just houses now.. |
| 55356190 | almost 8 years ago | Thanks for getting back to me. Only a few editors (gods!) usually do the reverting although in practice anyone can run the script. The only way to know is to look at the way history, or probably easier look at a tool like OSM Cha (see link above). I guess some people like mapping trees (OK I'll admit it, I am one of them) although the chances of getting every tree in the DB seem minimal to say the least! I think everyone has their tics though, so generally is the mantra is create, modify if you need and improve, but don't delete unless it's misleading or just plain wrong. |
| 55356190 | almost 8 years ago | Hello!
|
| 55356040 | almost 8 years ago | Hello!
|
| 55181802 | almost 8 years ago | Are you sure of the ownership boundary? The object before you changed it had been sourced from an OS dataset, so it is "official" |
| 55356040 | almost 8 years ago | Again, why is a wood "unnecessary". Please consult with people before you remove a significant amount of their work like that. |
| 55356190 | almost 8 years ago | What do you mean by "removing unnecessary trees"? Just be careful when removing things - you should only remove something if it's not there, not because you don't think it should be on the map, at least when you are starting out on OSM.. |
| 53551442 | about 8 years ago | Looks bad to me too - can't find any reference to "Eagle and Beth's" in that location in London |
| 49084145 | over 8 years ago | Sorry, wrong person - looks like the spam was added earlier |
| 49084145 | over 8 years ago | This changeset needs to be reverted as it's spam |
| 44950151 | almost 9 years ago | This, and many other changesets from the user appears to be erroneuous advertising information. I have also sent the user a message |
| 44957537 | almost 9 years ago | Welcome to OSM! You need to be careful what you are editing - you have edited things in Wilmslow, Bucks, UK as well as Tanzania, which I guess might not be what you intended to do. This will have to be reverted back, so please try to be a bit more careful, and if you don't understand something, ask on the mailing list, or other support channels available at osm.wiki |
