I've just realised now I see you deleted the extensions to St Philip's School, that you've used Esri (Clarity) imagery which is very old - all these buildings etc. are visible on newer Mapbox Satellite imagery.

Hi Robert,
Has this whole area been demolished again? Many of these buildings/roads were only added in the last couple of years so it seems *very* unlikely that they've been razed so soon.

Hi Robert, I'm not sure what your aim was here - changing lots of current shops to ones that don't exist any more - First Choice, Carphone Warehouse, Mothercare, etc.
If you want to map what was there previously then https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ is the place for that.

Hi Robert, Can you explain why you have deleted this whole retail area? The URLs of the three retailers seem to still be active. A changeset comment of "\" does not help other mappers to understand your reasoning.

Jez

No response to comment, so I've reverted this

Hi AR_FKU,
It looks like you've done some good micro-mapping here. However, once again, by deleting Walthamstow Primary Academy and re-drawing from scratch, some information could be lost if not spotted. The previous way [1] had 23 tags but you have only put 2 tags back on your new way [2]. If you really must delete objects and re-draw, please copy ALL existing tags onto the new object. Better would be to "adjust" (to use your word) what's already there as that keeps the history of the object. [3]

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi AR_FKU,
I'm unsure why it was necessary to completely delete Walthamstow Fire Station, then re-draw it in an offset position. Not only has the address data not been copied to the new way, looking at the Mapbox Satellite background here - which is near vertical unlike the angled Bing Aerial - shows the footprint of the building seems to be closer to how it was mapped originally.

Hi fredgolightly,
Just wondering why have you deleted 16 address points in this edit and a further 18 in changeset/161645790?
Also, it'd be great if you could add changeset comments instead of leaving them blank. See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments which explains a bit more.

Happy mapping,
Jez

I have reverted this changeset because the wood and highways are clearly visible on aerial imagery

Hi SamuraiArmada,
It looks like you're doing some good work adding to the map here. A tip when drawing buildings: use the "Square" function to make the corners right-angles. You can do this on a whole building at once if all the corners are right-angles or individual corners if not.

Happy mapping!

Hi Russlad, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Just because a path is on private property or impassable doesn't mean they shouldn't be mapped. These are both Public Rights of Way (PRoW) and are clearly signed as such (visible on Bing Streetside) so anything preventing access here should be reported to the Council.

As for all the other highways you have deleted in your other changesets, there are methods of indicating private access (e.g. access=private )

What happened to Puzzle Woods?

Have the University of South Wales *really* taken over this car park? This latest Mapillary imagery from just three weeks ago clearly shows it's still an NCP car park - https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1616380892316503&focus=photo

Hi lukethesamo,
It looks like you've added random letters in parentheses to the end of most of the building names across the university - what do they mean? If they are some kind of internal reference then I think the ref=* tag may be a better place for these.

Secondly a tip when drawing new buildings: if the corners are right-angles use the "Square" tool (right-click, or keyboard shortcut Q). This can be done for an individual corner or for the whole building at once.

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi Iwerne, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I just wanted to check whether you have permission to copy that information into OSM. I know that postcodes (but not addresses) from Royal Mail are OK, but don't know about Bristol's Pinpoint map. It looks like Bristol Council do have a lot of open datasets, but I cannot see one relating to addresses.

If you do not have permission, there other sources available online which are allowed to be used e.g. out-of copyright OS maps. Although an on-the-ground survey is always best if you can!

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi Beacon2025, welcome to OSM. Just wondering why have you deleted this school? It looks like it is still open. I have reverted this edit with changeset/159020585
