I've just tried it out, and am surprised to find that it's not directly supported in the editor. You certainly did the best thing then. I'm asking the lead developer of the editor whether they can support landuse=construction.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I notice that you've been adding lots of footpaths in the countryside. If you are familiar with these (i.e., not using Google or similar search engine or OS Maps) it's very helpful to label those which are actually Public Rights of Way with the designation tag (see designation=*#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales). For more generally about footpath mapping in Britain see http://sk53-osm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/10-years-of-footpath-mapping-for.html.

Looks awfully like someone's garden (you? perhaps).

Reverted because not a park.

Thanks for adding these details. You can connect the footpaths to the surrounding roads and then they are routable.

I'm not sure that I'd call this a park, rather a recreation ground. This is incidentally what Bradford council call it in their official data, and also give it the name Haworth Road Playground, with the area to the S of the road being Haworth Road Recreation Ground.

I'm sorry but this is incorrect. The University of Nottingham is already mapped in considerable detail and we use "university" not school. If you wish for chinese names to be added you can let me know.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Parks, Playing Fields etc., are better mapped as areas rather than points.

The footpath you've added has foot=yes which overrides the general access=private. If this is just a private path for residents to access their back gardens (e.g., for dustbins etc), then it's best with just access=private. Footway implies its only accessible for pedestrians anyway.

If there are gates at either end it would be nice to see those added too: then it's clearer that not just anyone can use it as a cut-through. This sort of information is important there are 100,000s of people who use OSM data for personal navigation.

Thanks, I really need to get round to adding more buildings here.

Many thanks for this update.

Just to let you know that you can also tag this with landuse=construction and construction=residential which means exactly the same as "(under construction)". It also helps mappers because landuse=construction is always a sign to check for changes.

Thanks for keeping OSM up-to-date.

You may not have realised but Points of Interest can be on areas as well as points and the De Montfort Hall you added duplicates the information already on the building. I've removed this duplicate.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and what a good sensible way to start out.

If you want practice creating roads etc there are a couple of other things which are quite good to add without any risk are : unmapped car parks and especially the parking aisles in big car parks. There are usually always a few around in any area, they show up nicely on the map when added, and they can be useful too.

Many thanks for contributing to OSM.

I thought the shape of the park looked familiar, so I've taken the opportunity to extend the park to match the added path.

You havent connected the two ends of the path at the bottom of the park. Is this the way it is in reality? If it isnt connecting them up will allow people to use this for navigation.

I've also added the road into the park from Wensleydale Road and the parking area: but this is on the basis of very old memories.

It might be worth separating out the church part so that it can be shown separately (and found by people looking for a church). Is it a different part of the building or a separate room?

Also it could probably do with religion=christian and denomination=* (if the church belongs to a particular denomination or faith tradition)

OpenStreetMap is used in real life by millions of people. Please dont use it for doodles: only map things which exist. If you're hoping for Pokemon mapping real things works much better.

I've deleted this.

Certainly remove the administrative value for boundary. Perhaps replace it with boundary=planning_area for now. Administraive boundaries get pulled into notional addresses which is how I noticed it in the first place.

In general stuff like this is not a great deal of use in OSM. Even if you have a specific need for the boundary its often easier to put this in a umap instance.

One aspect that this edit did highlight is that I dont know that we have any good way to denote city centre areas in OSM.

There's plenty of stuff which can be added in Liverpool. Had hoped to do a bit myself last year, but only got as far as a couple of pubs on London Road behind the Empire.

What I presume were the Water Gardens were replaced by the current housing around 2011, as can be seen on Ordnance Survey mapping http://os.openstreetmap.org/#zoom=18&lat=52.373508&lon=1.103004

A couple of requests:

a) please avoid edits which cover such a large part of the world
b) please use an intelligible source name for imagery used

I presume you do not have any local knowledge about the diverse areas included in this edit. It is therefore important that other contributors can see that the source you used is a suitable source for OSM. From the URL this looks like a proprietary layer from MapBox (possibly an error reporting one). At present it is totally unclear whether the source you used is valid for OSM or your inferences about the roads are justified.

I'm not at all sure the Strategic Investment boundary belongs in OpenStreetMap. It certainly is not an administrative area in the common meaning of the usage of boundary=administrative, so a different tag should be used.

Also it's not clear that the linked document is a suitable source for OSM data.

Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap. I suspect that the area mapped as the BT Estate is too large as it covers the railway lines which I presume are owned/managed by Network Rail.

I also note that the road giving access to the BT depot is missing. I could add it myself, but it's far better if people local to an area do this as there aerial images are often out of date.

Thanks

Just happen to be looking at recent edits around Nottingham and would like to remind you that we are meeting in the Lincolnshire Poacher tonight in case you wanted to come along: osm.wiki/Nottingham/Pub_Meetup. Plenty of us are interested in footpaths.
