National Parks UK - Peak District

? I don't understand ?

There is nothing on the overall map of a boundary for the peak district. I am the map rendered at openstreetmap.org.

Mine hasn't even shown up for me yet for the peak district or any others.

You can see the new forest and snowdonia but the rest I think are missing. IF you said it is done then why can't I see it? *shrug*

It said incomplete on the link above and I presume that means you have not completed an area.

Looking at this page:
osm.org/browse/relation/78528

It appears to have an area. So why does it not appear on the map.
From the link page above "View area on larger map"

osm.org/?minlon=-2.10227&minlat=53.0302565&maxlon=-1.5155962&maxlat=53.5979022

National Parks UK - Peak District

Yeah I saw that page. I thought it would be better to a baseline rough border for the national parks first then it is easier to add details. So the ones that have done detail of the boarders can make it more complete.

Just finished my first town

Good job, ignore the paranoid here about using other sources. As long as you don't copy directly is it ok AFAIC.

Comparing stuff offline I can never see a problem as if you find anomalies and check by hand. Ask people, walk street, other legal sources, etc

Local updates to reflect area

What on earth is wrong with verifying?

There is nothing wrong with that at all.

I know from mailing list chats years ago many are paranoid about copyright sources but there is nothing at all with checking it with what you think is the correct street name.
If you get a situation where the names are different you can recheck this yourself.

And taking photos of the street signs is way over the top, what are you people on?

If you know of the streets you could guestimate the locations of them in certain scenerios. e.g. A new road that connects road a to road b and certain points in a straight line. Again I would see nothing wrong, and I cannot imagine legally how anything can be wrong with verifying this with other sources, as long as you don't change anything.

The purists will no doubt pipe up again now but if someone can state legally why this breaks any copyright I am all ears. I am so confused why you make it so difficult for yourselves at times.
