Who am I?

• I’m a uni student in Aberystwyth.

• Pronouns: she/her.
• You can also call me Lily.

OSM Wiki page: osm.wiki/User:Fgjgdrou
I am also on the OSM forum under the same name (https://community.openstreetmap.org/u/fgjgdrou/), though I don’t post much there. My OSM fediverse account: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/[email protected]

Some of my mapping projects that I have done

• Corrected the naming on various UK rail lines and add wikidata tags,
• Updated the operator tagging on the Channel Tunnel,
• Added UK features to OpenRailwayMap,

My Mapping Interests

Ways (Roads, Paths, etc)

• Adding cycle & walking infrastructure,
• Lighting,

Nodes (including buildings)

• Separating out buildings to avoid ambiguity,
• One large pet peeve of mine is multiple addresses to 1 building. In the field, I typically enter them as a range, but when I can sit down and use a more powerful editor, I try and separate them out into different buildings.
• Adding addresses (I feel that this is a major downside of using OSM in a lot of places, so I want to fix that),

Miscellaneous

• I really like to include anything accessibility related (tactile paving, surface, etc),
• Again, I like to try and include lighting in roads/paths,
• I want to add to this publicly avaliable resource, free for others, because of what it is.

Trains

• As someone with a lot of knowledge about trains, I try to add data to the map. Previous edits have included re-naming all of the WOE, SWM, and CM (lines) to the correct name with a Wikidata tag, and adding many signals with full UK tagging.
• I aim to eventually cover every single bit of track in the UK, correct all the bridges (I’ve seen many roads tagged as tunnels when it is actually a bridge over the road), add as much data, and trawl through the sectional appendices to add as much data as possible including speed limits. Yes it’s painful. Yes it’ll take a looong time, but the map will have more data!
