Rather late in the day, but Wikipedia is hardly a suitable source for OSM as has been discussed ad nauseum. One significant reason is that, aside from licensing issues, wikipedia can get it wrong. In this case this is clearly not the location of Knockeen Portal Tomb (which is incorporated in a stone wall). It is however close to the site of Gaulstown Dolmen (somewhere in the woods to the E): clue being that this is the townland of Gaulstown & there is a dolmen which much better matches descriptions of Knockeen Portal Tomb visible on Bing at the same location as the Cromlech on GSGS 3906. Note this may be valid evidence for correcting wikipedia, but not OSM.

Can you remember how you did this? Reason is that in the Bristol Channel the England/Wales boundary is not consistent with boundary of City of Bristol. See note/834912.

Will be checking it anyway as I need to look at photo to see what kind it is & whether there was a stile or gate. Dont know why this didnt autocomplete

Could you add not:name=Castle Green Road where the name is Castle Green Lane (and possibly file a correction with the Ordnance Survey via their customer services). I find they correct things quickly. Also please avoid making references to Google Maps: we cant use it as a source even to check things.

I'd strongly support DaveF here: before designation became widely used access=designated or foot=designated was often used for Public Rights of Way. This may or may not be the case here, but removal of the tag does nothing to improve OSM, and may degrade the information.

This changeset discussions provide a mechanism to ask the original editor was. This should certainly be considered in a case like this.

There's a very broad sidewalk (probably better represented as a footway under the bridge along side of the road past the chippy (which I see from photos is called Reggie's). There are gents & ladies loos under the flyover . Also there's a ticket/info office somewhere in the same area. Pavements both sides of ONEWAY road into bus station under the arches. 4 bicycle lockers etc. Perhaps I should share my photos :-)

Also the key taxon (effectively synonymous with species a lot of the time, but most useful when cultivars come into play as with many stree trees)

From memory I think it's relatively easy to roam around Stockport Bus Station. I'm afraid I probably dont have any photos. Perhaps you should visit & then you can try the delights of the Crown just across the Mersey.

Removing data is "mapping for the renderer": please don't do it. Someone took the time to transcribe the information from the plaque and enter it in OSM. This type of information is widely used elsewhere: for instance on the openplaques.org website. By removing it to make this area look the way you want it, you have also removed the possibility of anyone using it for anything.

Hi, Just noticed your edits (nice adding the stuff up behind Woodhouse Park). You dont need to add foot=yes to a bridleway, particularly one with a designation tag: it's implicit in OSM that a highway=bridleway allows pedestrians, just as a highway=cycleway does in the UK (but not everywhere). Cycling on bridleways is always a bit more complex so adding the access permission makes sense (as it does on footpaths which allow cycling but which are not true cycleways). HTH

Only just noticed all the work you've done here. It's rather nice to discover new stuff in a neglected part of town.

OK have a look at what I've done. Slightly guesswork for the Forlease Road junction. I've slightly changed the alignment of Stafferton Link further S.

Hi, I wondered why you deleted way way/48551505 and then re-added it named as Stafferton Link in a later edit?

The current Stafferton Link is clearly not on the correct alignment as it passes through houses rather than through the green space (clearly mapped) which was kept clear for this road. Additionally the new road clashed with the building named the arena.

I've tried to adjust the alignment, but was wondering what sources you were using for this edit.

Dont think this worked out quite as you intended: the new roundabout at E end of Stafferton Link has ended up with highway=turning_loop when I think you want highway=mini-roundabout. I can fix it if you like, or you can do it yourself. Let me know.

There is some useful advice on the wiki about how to sort out parallax/perspective issues with imagery: osm.wiki/Roof_modelling.

Very kind of you to welcome me, but it's a bit late: I've been on OSM since Dec 2008.

I've looked very hard for the dragged node, but can't find it. In future please provide the url of the actual object. It saves a lot of time. It may be that whatever you were referring to was changed in later edits (this was one of a long series in this area).

The whole reason I'm looking at this is because I want to map other places in St Anns which have similar layout. I may have taken notes & photos last year of Kelvedon Gardens because I was searching for an example with the addresses mapped on the doors.

OSM is fundamentally a collaborative project and it works at its best when we collectively use a common style of mapping things. Yes we can have different points of view, but they should are best substantiated by widespread practice in OSM: not "this is my way tough".

In the main it's more important that things get mapped as long as there's enough info to make the mapping more elaborate over time. For instance the info you've added for Jedburgh Close is extremely useful for understanding how these buildings are laid out internally, with which levels each house number is located on : in fact if you provided this on others I could live with it as it's clearly more informative than what I can achieve not living in the area.

A couple of points: it's a database not a map; we're trying to represent RL reasonably accurately, not keep residents in place X happy (or we'd have very different boundaries in many places in the world).

The problem with this as a halfway house representation is that the mapped thinness of the residences is obviously unlikely & inaccurate.

We can do better.

The current, entirely achievable, method for complex blacks like these is, as I said, to map the addresses on the doors. Also in general it's usually better to try & capture the actual situation : a few people working out how to do it is how OSM advances. The problem with these being terraced is that it makes it rather harder to change them with a more accurate representation.

Hi Alex,

You seem to have terraced a number of buildings in St Anns (e.g., Kelvedon Gardens) which are more complex, typically with 3 apartments in each section accessed by doors on ground & first floor. Ideally these need to be mapped with the address nodes on the doors, which will require fiddly things with access bridges, balconies & steps. With the places terraced they look (accurately) too thin for convenient living. I'd rather we wait and get it completely right than have to change from all these terraces.
