Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I see you've placed the restaurant POI within the building that's tagged as Style Kitchens. Has Style Kitchens been replaced by the restaurant? If so the kitchen business should be removed. Your POI tags can then go on the building outline.

Need any help please just ask, Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I think you inadvertently removed a node from an admin boundary. I've reinstated the node.

Need any help please just ask, Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Nice to see someone new adding footpaths. Just a few pointers hope you don't mind. Please try not to join highways on to other features, it's not good practice and makes future editing more difficult. You've joined paths to landuse outlines and to power lines. No problem though I've corrected those few anomalies and added PRoW tags. Please have a look at my edits and maybe this will help in your future edits.

Need any help please just ask. Regards Bernard.

Hi, You've mapped MDR 131 on to of existing highways making duplication that disrupts routing. Are you sure this is a oneway, single carriage, motorway?

Would you please remove the MDR 131 and if necessary amend the existing highways as per OSM best practice.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Generally, your mapping of the areas is very good, with just a few problems with the tagging.

May I point out OSM guidance on mapping golf courses, please see here:- leisure=golf_course . It is pointed out that grass areas are surface=grass, the landuse is not to grow a crop of grass. Bunkers are surface=sand, the sand is not usually a natural occurrence.

There are a few more problems with paths, duplicated, unjoined and connected to area outlines. There are warnings for this changeset above.

The multipolygon for the course is not needed as it's a single polygon.

I'll try to make a few corrections. If you need any help please just ask.
Regards Bernard.

Well Done!

Hello Tom, No problem and I'm glad to help.
If you think you're going to do a lot of OSM editing the editor to use is JOSM, it takes a while to get the hang of it but it is far superior to any other OSM editor. With JOSM you can zoom right in till that stile fills the screen. It's easy then to see anomalies.

Hi, I can understand what you are trying to do but as I said above features added to OSM must be on the ground features and verifiable to everyone. I don't think there is any on the ground feature at these two points that can be added to the OSM database. Thus the tags ought be removed.

I don't use Strava but from reading this page:- https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918387-Routes-on-Web
I think they are saying that personal routes and waypoints can be compiled and saved on the Strava app. They do say you can improve and/or add data to OSM, but unfortunately, they omit to state that all new data must comply with OSM practices. Sorry but your data isn't verifiable.

If you're OK with this explanation I can easily remove the POIs and if I can help further please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Unfortunately, your staggering of the path resulted in two duplicated sections of the path. No problem though I've split up and removed the duplicate sections.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Something looks odd here, your new building is mapped on top of the library. Which to OSM means there is a building within a building. One feature should be tagged as building:part=???

I understand that there are new flats here so to understand the layout could you describe the extent of the library please? Is it all on the ground floor? Is number 2a Ascham road actually part of the library?

If I can understand the layout perhaps I can help make corrections.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've split the outline to show separate buildings rather than building atop building.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I am wondering what the meaning is of your two nodes tagged with names only of "Beccles Tri Club training" and "WVAC Training". You may not be aware that a name only is of no use if OSM doesn't know what it is a name of. Further features added to OSM must be on the ground features and verifiable to everyone else. Please see:- osm.wiki/Verifiability

If these are personal features they should not be added to OSM. However, you may be in the process of adding something like a route. If so if you could explain your intention maybe I could help.

Regards Bernard.

Hello, This problem is a bit confusing, I'll try to explain. Lots of sections of different ways (in this case cycleway highways) are combined into a route. Usually it is the route relation that holds the name for the combined ways that make up the route. Different sections of highways on the route could have their own formal names. Therefore the route name is placed in the route relation tagging.

Here we also have a further confusion. In that the Cycle Superhighway route has been added to the route relation named "NE Lincs local cycle network" ID 11515005. Some sections of Cycle Superhighway however are not included in the NE Lincs relation. There's more, some sections of the Cycle Superhighway are duplicated in the NE Lincs relation.

So, I think the best thing to do is change name=Cycle Superhighway to description=Cycle Superhighway. And remove the duplicates from the NE links relation.

The NE links relation is not actually a route it's rather a collection of pieces of unjoined cycleway.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Your correction resulted in the stile being on a short spur of the footpath. From experience, I would think the stile should be a barrier to the path route. Thus I've combined the two sections of the path and positioned the stile to be a barrier on the path.

Hi, You're making a lot of problems with these paths you are adding. A lot of sections of your paths are placed on top of existing highways making duplications that disrupt routing.
In many places you've joined paths to waterways and other features. Sometimes crossing waterways, sometimes running on top of waterways.

Please see here:- https://tinyurl.com/2sxvpvaf these are the highway duplications, there are many more problems. Could you please remove or correct your mapping? If you need help please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hello and Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

A couple of things I'd like to point out, the name as spelled was not, I think, intentionally derogative in any way. It was actually misspelled, the correct spelling was "Scumptious", this word is in the dictionaries and is not an offensive word by English standards.

Secondly, it's wrong to delete something just because you presume it to be offensive. Also if it was ascertained as offensive one would only remove the offensive section (word). Further, it's not OSM policy to remove the building outline or address in such circumstances.

Thus I've reverted the deletion, and corrected the name. I did look up the cafe and found that it was closed in 2018, so I've now tagged the amenity and name as disused as per OSM practice.

Regards Bernard.

PS My comments are as a fairly local person, your locale is Australia, I wonder, is the word Scumchus a derogatory term over there?

Hi, Does footway Way: 753031521 join to the service road Way: 84483682 from the stile?

Hi, the tag bunker is surface=sand not landuse=sand. Same with tees, fairways, rough, and greens it's surface=grass, not landuse=grass.
