Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I'm not sure what you were trying to do with the changes in this upload. It resulted in Albion Street being duplicated/triplicated and dragged out of position by self intersection. Also the access tunnel was moved out of position.

I've reverted this changeset so its all back OK as before your changes.

Regards Bernard.

Hi,
Thanks for responding. I've removed the duplicate building outline and amended the tagging on the garden section to include building:levels=2 building:min_level=1 level=1 which should describe where the garden is.

As for you delivery driver problems I've found that Royal Mail have three postcodes for Leonard Court, SE15 2BP are Leonard Court, Cobden Walk, SE15 2BF are Leonard Court, Meeting House Lane and SE15 2DH are Leonard Court, Queens Road. Could this be where the problem lies? Are there three entrances to Leonard Court? If so it's likely each has a different post code and the full address should be tagged on the entrance. Then a minimal tagging on the block relation without the address. Thus the routeing will be to the particular entrance rather than the building. What do you think?

I'll help if you wish, Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I think the Whiteknights Campus is part of the University of Reading, therefore the tag amenity=university should be reinstated.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
There's a problem with Leonard Court now, three areas are tagged building=apartments. one outer area and two identical (one atop the other) inner areas. Anyway the address data of a multipolygon area should be placed on the relation.
Is the inner area a courtyard or a roof garden?

Regards Bernard.

Hello Jon,
The tag leisure=park indicates an area of open space for recreational use, please see:- leisure=park. Parks don't usually extend to highway center lines as it would not be safe for folk to walk or play on the highway. It is very simple to zoom in and accurately map park areas. When multiple features are drawn with a single linear demarcation it is very difficult to isolate one feature for amendment. The park areas here are not joined to the highway center lines.

You describe the grass areas by the roads as verges so they are not parks. A correct tagging would be verge=yes surface=grass Unfortunately this tagging is not at present rendered on OSM standard layer but it can be rendered. A tagging that is rendered is verge=yes landuse=grass.
Verges however abut a highway, not extend over it nor to the center line. So the outlines of these areas need amending. The verge areas could be drawn over the highways as roads and paths can are usually rendered on top of areas but as I said multiple features on one line are very difficult to amend. Anyway by zooming in it's very easy to precisely draw areas.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

This building to which you've added an address is not 48 Broadley Terrace
NW1 6LG. I doubt it's name is Broadley House or Broadley Studio.

If you look on your website you'll see where Broadley Terrace is located.

If you need assistance removing the incorrect data and/or adding data in the correct position please just ask in the comments here.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've removed your new path Way: 861127731 as it duplicates an existing footway. If the existing way needs amending please amend it not add a new way atop of the existing.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, I broke off to look for a render style that shows what I'm trying to say. Please look here:- https://www.openstreetmap.de/karte.html?zoom=16&lat=51.57261&lon=0.0385&layers=B000TT I hope you'll see your golf features rendered nicely as you've tagged them. It's the render style that counts.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, There is nothing wrong with the tagging as it is now and it ought to remain as such. Any alteration would be incorrect tagging for the purposes of a particular visual rendering. Rather the rendering should be altered to give a particular visual effect.

The problem with the rendering you see, that gives the impression of features disappearing, is that greens, tees and fairways are rendered the same colour. Especially the fact that the green is mapped atop the fairway and both are grass, the same colour.

I've made a test on hole two removing the surface tag to see how that renders, please give it a while.

Hi,
There is not usually a gap between a field and a path.

As I said field boundary's are usually joined together at hedge center line, fence or ditch, thus no gaps between the field edges. Field edge paths or tracks are not usually set on the boundary line (or they would be atop a fence, hedge or ditch), they are set on what is termed the field edge. Within the field on it's edge but not over it's edge. Thus the path is adjacent to the field edge boundary.

The problem, is the fact that we mappers don't know where the legal boundary is. We do know that that fields and boundary lines are usually measured/taken from the center of fixed or determined features, i.e. hedges, trees, stones, markers, walls etc. We do know that all land is usually owned. We do know that a paths are on one piece of owned land, not two, (except where there is cross over from one field to another). So we can make a pretty good assumption of where a boundary (field edge) is, and know the path is within that boundary, not outside of it.

Unfortunately most of mapped farmland in OSM doesn't take on board the above criteria. If fact it mostly ignores individual fields, lumping it all as farmland. Often even then drawn very poorly.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, This area tagged leisure=park is not a park or public leisure area. It is for the most part highway and highway verge. You've drawn lots of these some overlapping and some joined to the highway center line. Could you please remedy these anomalies, either remove or redraw and re-tag them.

Regards Bernard.

Glad to help, looks real good well done.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I just wanted to point out this wiki page:- leisure=golf_course, it shows OSM practice for tagging a golf course.

Surface=grass is the correct tag, tagging landuse=grass is duplication and anyway the land is not used for growing grass it's for playing golf.

I can't figure out why you are making lots of relations, especially when the relation types are not tagged, please see here:- osm.wiki/Relation for relation types. There's not even a need for the overall multipolygon.

May I respectfully suggest you look at how a few other golf courses have been tagged.

If you need any help please just ask, Regards Bernard.

Hi IpswichMapper, I was not aware of the OSMCha ability to interact with review requests. It seems a bit convoluted and time consuming. Just another layer of interaction atop of what I do. What I do is look at the first few edits of all new contributors in a fairly wide area from me, irrespective of review request. Then immediately correct anything disruptive or fictional, offer help and/or advice. Interact with any problems to help the new folk learn. If there's no response I look again at the contributions in a week or so and correct anomalies.

After about forty years tramping the countryside, being told countless times that there has never been a path over or around the field I'm on. Perusing many maps in the course of walking and defending Public Rights of Way, as well as ten years of OSM contributing. I don't think I've ever seen a path or track in each of two side by side fields. There are cases where OS or County Councils have marked a path or track actually on a field boundary but these turn out to be incorrect. County Councils have drawn paths atop of field boundary's but when the definitive statement (which is the legal document), is read the true position of the way is found, (in one field or the other). In dealing with PRoW matters for many years it it has always been stated by legal folk that where there is a hedge or tree line the center of that feature is the dividing line between fields. This line then determine where a path is situated and where the path width is measured from, (hedge or tree center).

Your consideration that multiple ways when joined up are difficult to untangle is correct and at times very time consuming, especially when multipolygons are involved. Very frustrating when this is usually incorrect mapping. A big problem as lots of folk don't draw field boundary's to the hedge lines or leave gaps at hedge lines. It's OK to draw a hedge on a field boundary as that's usually where it's located.

Regards Bernard.
Sorry for the length of this explanation, I get carried away when talking about footpaths.

Hi, This changeset is now reverted, two conflicts of oneway tag resolved OK.
There were to many sections of highway with differing relation sections to just revert the duplication.

My revert changeset #92682100 (if it needs rolling back).

Regards Bernard.

Hi,
Please be aware that there is now a duplication of a section of the A4 road. Placing one highway atop another is not combining a highway it's duplication. Further with several nodes joined together and combining 9 sections (each way), of route relation sections this makes for seriously interrupted if not impossible routeing.

Could you please look to remedy this?
Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I guess this is a test to see how OSM works. There's no park at this location it's a house. If you were trying to add your house and need help please just ask in the comments here.
I've removed the park POI.
Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

The area's you've drawn, Way: Waterworks (413142201), Way: Waterworks (308627227), Way: Waterworks (306774401) these are not waterworks it's a man_made=wastewater_plant. It's also incorrect to use a description as a name. Names must be formal and verifiable to all. There seem to be several instances of these problems.

Your area Way: 860178626 is not a man_made=wastewater it's an area of three agricultural reservoirs.

The areas you've amended, Way: 365506071, Way: 365506070 tagged are drawn over several differing land features and tagged as fixme. If you can't fix them please don't try to fix them. The original mapper has drawn hundreds of areas like this, they all could do with fixing properly.

I notice your large areas tagged landuse=farmland (like Way: 860178639), actually encompass areas that are comprised of many different landuses, some drawn and tagged as various types of farmland. Way: 860178639 (landuse=farmland) has inside it woods, buildings, orchards and ponds.

Way: 860178636, a large area covering differing types of landuse is untagged.

Could you have a look at these anomalies please, Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

That name seems to be a description so I've tagged it as such, (name tag is for proper formal verifiable names). I've also changed the highway to service as it seems to be such a highway. The tag access=private suffices to describe all access, so the other private tags are not needed, they're not actually incorrect but they just serve to bloat the database.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Could you please be careful not to make duplicate sections of highway, (placing highway atop of highway). I've just corrected five in the Lynn area.

Regards Bernard.
