Hi UKDiver

You've edited the addr:housename key to provide info the business is closed.

The addr:housename key can not be used in that way. It's agreed that in the UK the addr:* keys are strictly for the recognised address elements.

There's (a rather long) guide on UK address tagging linked below

osm.wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom

The name key is a better location for info. Many would state the information should be under the description key.

Sorry made a mistake with key, but no means of editing my comment.

You removed amenity=pharmacy, and replaced with disused:amenity=pharmacy. But the pharmacy did not close, it has new owners & name.

Hi Bird Soup.

I can see you removed a large number of "LLoyds Pharmacies", which has ceased trading.

But on all the edits I've looked at you've also set the node as disused:pharmacy=yes. I believe this is wrong for most of the former Lloyds Pharmacies. The pharmacies have mostly been taken on by new owners

Current info suggest that for this pharmacy, the owner and name changed. It is now "PHARMACY @ ROXTON" . Confirmed by the NHS website and their business website.

If I'm correct. The a large number of the pharmacies you've edited to show disused are still in use, and need to be fixed.

Hello Eduardino_the_thirth,

You made errors with you first edit in OpenStreetMap. May have been to do with map.me? I reverted the changeset and no harm is done

The camp sites you added do not exist (as defined by OpenStreetMap) and the waterfall / attraction is already mapped. Don't put this off adding more info to OpenStreetMap

Thanks, Jass

The changeset I used to do the revert is linked below.

Hi Katherine.

I asked for some opinions on the talk_GB mailing list. General view was the foot=no & bicycle=no should not be there because there are no such prohibitions in place.

Others pointed out that routers should, or created maps, should be able to deduce that this road was not appropriate for cycling (eg cycle.travel)

So... I removed the the two tags in changeset
changeset/148512721

Hi Alwyn,

In this changeset your adding a Hiking Route, part of a "super relation". The name overall name "LGa Land's End to Exeter", is not a name I recognise, or find on websites recording UK trails.

I assuming that your mapping a "Land's End to John O'Groats" hiking route? Commonly known as LEJog.

If so I believe it can't be in OSM. My knowledge of this famous hike or cycle, is that there is no official or recognised, defined route on the ground.

A search on the UK "Long Distance Walkers Association" website confirms this.

https://ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Land%27s+End+to+John+o%27+Groats

Assuming I'm correct and your mapping this LEJoG can you provide the source and how it can be verified

Thanks, Jass

Hi Katherine.

You've added the tag foot=no, bicycle=no and horse=no. I agree with the intent of your change, but the access tags are for clear legislative access limitations.

There are no prohibitions of using this dual carriageway for horses, cycles, & pedestrians. If the highways authority wanted to introduce an access limitation for foot & cycles, they would need to create a high quality parallel route for foot & cycles. "National Highways" do not wish to undertake this project so we have a situation where we have a highway clearly not suitable for cycling/foot but it is allowed.

I'm going to ask for some views in the talk-GB mailing list (later on) because I do agree obvious unsuitability for cycling/foot should have some way of being tagged.

Hi, you appear to have duplicated an already mapped barrier. The presence of a barrier is already mapped as barrier=planter

node/10763618871

If there has been a change to the barrier then its is the original tag should be changed to protect history.

If it is a now a bicycle=barrier then you need to map the access restrictions for bicycles. Some bicycle barriers allow bicycles through, other do not. Thanks.

Hi Andy R (NZ),
I've reverted this changeset. The imagery you used is outdated and the buildings you mapped are gone. You deleted the new layout and mapped the old

changeset/144981333

There is still mapping details to be sorted out for the new buildings.

Hi all. I agree with Trigpoint. We restrictions/prohibitions that are signed. And in this case very heavy farm vehicles will be using this road.

This is one of numerous roads in Devon that the Devon County Council has now defined as "Track - Green Lane". This means it has the lowest level of maintenance, with I believe the surface eventually ending up as "compacted" Other roads of this type in Devon are mapped as Tracks

I know and do some mapping in this area. I will make some changes I am confident about.

Hi Sammiisle

Do you know this road? I've done mapping in this area, and am aware it, but have not travelled along it.

My instinct is that is should be mapped as a track, with appropriate tagging that makes clear it limitations for access

eg
highway=track
lit=no
motor_vehicle=discouraged
smoothness=horrible
surface=asphalt
tracktype=grade2

Would this be acceptable?

Hi,

I was in Exeter today had a look at this store. I've made a couple of changes to the Wilko data. I've moved it onto the node where the store data had previously been.

There is a problem with the wikidata tag that I'm not sure about how to solve. This is not the old Wilko reopened. The old Wilko business is gone, with valuable parts split up and sold. CDS Superstores bought the name "Wilko" and several of the old stores. They have today opened a store at this site with the name Wilko, but it's not the previous business, and there is a sign inside the entrance stating this new Wilko is not the old Wilko business.

This causes and issue with wikidata tag. The wikidata tag is clearly for the old Wilkinson business and not the new brand.

I've removed the wikidata tag, Not sure how to handle this but I think I'll send an email to the talk_GB mailing lists in a few day.

A quick search shows that wifi can not be presumed at McDonalds.

Hi bbqman,

I've seen this and a few other of your edits don't have a changeset comment.

It's important to always add a changeset specific, and descriptive meaningful comment. This allows others to know what your doing.

osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Thanks, Jass.

Hi, didn't mean for this to get such a long set of responses after making the initial comment. I've got some issues, or am struggling with the decision of when highway=bridleway should be used. There are issues with tagging british designated public bridleways that follow a route along tracks, cycleways, and roads. I'll think I'll make some notes and seek a wider view on the mapping. I respond here again when I do.

Hi, Can you give a bit more detail about tagging this "way" as bridleway. Does not appear managed as bridleway. And previous tagging as track made via landowner.

I have reverted this changeset

I have reverted this in the following changeset

changeset/142817683

I have reverted the changeset

changeset/142683204

This mass edit removed the brand:wikipedia=* where brand:wikidata=* is present. Also removed source tags, and some FHRS tags

Regardless of merit of tagging, the process must first be discussed on talk-GB mailing list.
