Cheers, chap...

For clarification; data isn't extracted from GE or StreetView; I just use them as a pictorial reference along with my dashcam footage and GPS fixes. I'm not actually aware of what data there is to extract from GE or SV - it's just photos, after all! Unfortunately, the source field in JOSM doesn't lend itself to lengthy descriptive essays!

I use a friend's drone to take look-down photos of new developments and then georeference them using Global Mapper. Sadly it is now illegal to fly a drone over buildings in the UK so am disinclined to reference it in the Source, even if images were captured before the ban...

I dealt with a few of these highlighted as deprecated by Keep Right! and noticed that the new tagging scheme doesn't appear to render in OSM so put the old tag back in (alongside the new one) and they were shown again, with a view to removing the old tag again when the new one renders.

Perhaps there needs to be a review by whomever is in charge of such things to update the rendering engine to account for changes to tagging schemes? - especially for such useful information as the location of roadside emergency 'phones, even allowing for the almost universal possession of mobile 'phones these days!

Well spotted! Heaven only knows what happened there - probably had that section selected and then, after a distraction of some sort, went and held down CTRL to pick other edits having panned the map to another area of interest. Oops...
