None of this construction has started yet, and as far as I'm aware doesn't even have planning approval. To the best of my knowledge, this was just a plan submitted by the University of Surrey to the local council for inclusion in the Local Plan as an example.

These changesets should be reverted.

Hello, and thanks for joining OpenStreetMap - contributions like yours help it to be the most up-to-date map in the world. On that point, I assume that the site you're on is no longer St Andrew's school? Are there any other businesses on the site?

Hi Derek,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thanks for the marvellous work on Wellington College. One thing you need to do is mark all the car parks as access=private (you can use the form to do this in iD) so that "find my nearest car park" apps based on OSM don't send people onto college grounds. You can add the same tag to all the access roads too.

Hello Christine, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for taking the time to edit the map, but I wanted to check whether you really intended to do what you've done. You've removed the Post Office, Spar and a football pitch from Llangoed - are you saying all these things have closed down, or was this a mistake? If so, don't worry - your changes can be reverted as OSM keeps a history of all the edits made to the map.

Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap. There are a couple of small tagging problems with this data -- you've used landuse=grass which is never correct (you don't use the land *for* grass), but surface=grass would be fine. You've also tagged the lake as golf=water, but it's not clear from the mapping whether the lake is actually a golfing water hazard, or just a lake that happens to be on the course.

Where does the information itself come from? Is the source compatible with OSM's licence terms?

Hi David (assuming that's your name), welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for contributing.

If you have the time, you could make your contributions even more useful by adding house numbers to the buildings you're adding. This will get shown on the map, and allows routing to give even more precise directions to a particular property.

I'm based in Guildford and know the area, so if you need any help just send me a message on OSM.

To describe what's in this location as a Windmill would be stretching the definition so far as to be meaningless. There is a tower which was last used as a mill over 100 years ago, and which has been incorporated into a residential property to the extent it now has a chimney stack.

I'm going to delete this node on the grounds that it's actively misleading. There is no working mill here, it's historical value has been destroyed by the conversion to residential use and there is no public access in any case.

Hello Kyle (assuming that's your name) and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for taking the time to improve the map, but you're not quite there yet.

Assuming you're trying to add Clark Thomson's Elgin office to the map (which the web site says is in Hay Street): Go into edit mode, click on the "Point" button at the top left of the editor, then click on the map roughly where the offices are. When the point appears, go over to the left sidebar titled "Select feature type", and type "insurance" into the search box. You should then be able to pick Insurance Office from the list, and fill in the rest of the contact details like address, phone number and website.

Let me know using OSM's messaging system if you need any more help.

Peter,

Thanks, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Footpath mapping is one of OSM's strong points so any contributions are helpful.

You don't generally need to make existing paths fit aerial imagery providing they aren't massively inaccurate. Particularly in hilly areas, the imagery itself can be misaligned, so it may not improve the overall accuracy of the map. Instead, using multiple GPS traces to fix the position of paths tends to work better.

Equally, if you know of paths that aren't on the map, and you can't record GPS traces for them, mapping them to the aerial imagery is fine.

Who says medical=aed is deprecated? Do they have the authority to make that call?
