Hi Jethro10,
You appear to have added a plethora of place=locality nodes in this changeset when I think the names should be added to proper features. Some are obvious (e.g. Saltburn Sands is the beach, not a locality) but others I've never heard of despite being relatively local.

You've clearly been mapping much longer than I have, but it just seems weird to me to describe these as localities, so I wondered whether I'm missing something?

Kind regards,
Jez

Hi JBGreen, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Thank you for your useful edits around Yarm.

One note on this change: if the path is under the power line - which it looks like it is - that's where it should be on the map. Moving it to one side so it's visible as you have done is known as "mapping for the renderer" and is discouraged.

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi DenHoot, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You're making some great improvements to the area with your footpath additions.

I have one question though - at node/8114323426 the paths have been connected to the beck. It may be correct that the path goes through the beck (I can't see from satellite imagery due to the tree cover and I don't know the area) but it seems unlikely. Is there a bridge for the footpath, separate from the road?

Kind regards,
Jez

Hi again, just wondering why you've deleted the church? Yes, it was drawn very roughly - like a lot of the area! - but that's a reason to improve the drawing. Or has it been demolished recently?
Regards,
Jez

Hi OmbrePanda, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Can I draw your attention to the squaring function (shortcut "Q") - which makes the corners of buildings to be right-angles. You can select either the whole building or each corner in turn if any of the corners aren't a right-angle.
Happy mapping,

Hi Irish of the North,
Just checking - has this bus stop moved recently as the road markings are clearly visible on Bing closer to where it was placed originally?

Also, FYI I've restored the stop positions that were deleted in other changesets - the mapped bus routes are using these.

Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi chris_debian,
You've changed the tagging of way/44884022 from sidewalk=left to sidewalk=both, As this is one side of a dual carriageway this seems unlikely.

Also, why have you changed the petrol station (with convenience store) at node/2795645554 to a supermarket? It was still a petrol station when I visited it last month.

Kind regards,
Jez

Hi SEM55, just wondering which map these have come from as they're not on the layer available in iD and it may be useful for other areas? Also, have you surveyed these lines yourself as they don't seem to match up with Bing?
Kind regards, Jez

Hi mathpras,
access=costumers is a strange way to describe people driving through this Covid19 test site! (not sure what the correct tag should be given that you have to pre-book your appointment)

Hi Bass,
Phew, that's a relief! Your description had given me the impression it was copied.
Unlike wikipedia, you don't need to show/link to anything as proof and a GPS track/photograph isn't required. The fact you've already surveyed the area is our gold standard regardless of the method used.

Thank you for your edits!
Happy mapping,

Hi Bassington, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Your intention is welcomed, but copying from copyrighted maps is not allowed unless you have permission.

Unfortunately, because that road alignment is so new, none of the aerial imagery available to us nor OS OpenMap Local shows it yet, so you'd need to survey it yourself e.g. with GPS.

In the mean time, unless you can clarify what you have surveyed so far, I think it might be safest if this changeset was reverted so that any further changes are not tainted by this edit.
Kind Regards,
Jez

Hi ZhaoqingMal, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Can I draw your attention to the squaring tool (shortcut "Q") which causes the corners of areas to be at right-angles.

Oh, the ID walkthrough must've changed: that makes sense because I saw the same issue with another new contributor on Sunday.
Thanks for letting me know and for the corrections!

Wow, you must have some pretty nifty equipment to get centimetre accuracy for building/roof heights! (I'm guessing you're a professional?)
Specifically on the Academy, did you survey the separate parts of the building? If so - or even if not - you could use the building:part=yes tag on a separate area, to indicate the heights on only that section with the skillion roof shape.
Happy mapping,
Jez

Hi oldguit, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
I noticed you moved the corners of two buildings here which has resulted in the walls not being right-angles. I encourage you to continue the ID editor walkthrough which explains about squaring buildings (shortcut "Q")

Hi nathank096, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I encourage you to continue the ID editor walkthough, particularly the section on squaring buildings (shortcut "Q")

Hi mkroberts1954,
By deleting the existing seamarks and replacing them, you've removed the fog horns that were mapped - do you know where they are now?
I also note your addition of yellow lights to *ALL* the turbines instead of just the four corner ones as before - seems unlikely to me but perhaps you have other information?
Regards,
Jez

Hi Ken. There's no need to delete the whole thing, in fact editing existing objects is preferred in order to keep histories.
Yes you'd need to edit each line separately. (Note: It's quite common for streets to be split into segments for various reasons, here simply because of the shape).
There's no need to apologise - it's good to have your local knowledge. Be bold!

Thank you for your quick response. Looks good!

Hi KenH-S, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
I see you requested a review: the information you've added is useful, but would be better added to the line of the street instead of one point. Just let me know if I can be of help. I've got ideas for other improvements needed around this area too, but I don't visit Guisborough that often.
Happy mapping :)
