Removed. Turns out it was an accidentally duplicated from the grammar school way even though it doesnt look quite the same.

No this is not an appropriate classification. Use either amenity=village_hall or amenity=community_centre which are the accepted values for such places in the UK, and have been so for at least 6-7 years.

Using Google Maps violates Google's terms of service & also violates the Contributor Agreement & OpenStreetMap's T&C. Please stop.

Your work is likely to be entirely removed (redacted).

Thanks. (I think some Aldi's have this as a 'strapline', but dont recall seeing it in UK). Only picked this up because I was trying to pull all Aldi's in UK & noticed one I know was missing.

Is there any reason why you changed the name from Aldi to Aldi foodstore. Last time I went past it still was called just "Aldi"

Yeah was looking for examples 'cos Alex Kemp has been doing exactly that (tagging as post boxes) & I thought such an approach needed to nipped in the bud smartish. Having an alternative tag certainly helps & I think this is perfectly self-explanatory.

Are you sure these roads are residential. The quarry closed 1982 & in the standard imagery all housing has been demolished here. I doubt if anyone wants to live on a toxic quarry site.

Seems there's a typo on postal_distribution_box in this changeset. I presume it refers to one of these: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/FGbTbtxfIJfPmfOvAdiE5w

Adding erroneous info the tag amenity=post_box is indeed wrong. Positive action is "dont do it again" & "delete the erroneous tag" & then we wont get a) someone posting notes about it; and b) someone wont use it to post a letter. It's not my job to find suitable tags for things I dont map.

Please dont add amenity=post_box to the boxes used by postmen to store mailbags whilst on their rounds. Post Box must be a place where one can post letters.

Actually data looks OK, but the wikipedia article link is wrong & the wikipedia article looks to be out-of-date.

At least one of these assignments is incorrect Newton data does not apply to the OSM element Newton CP

Hmm, perhaps a comment on the changeset mighthave been more appropriate. I'd have interpreted this as meaning sidewalk=both/left/right. Just removing the tag neither helps the orirignal mapper nor improves overall data quality. Incidentally the road is not strictly a driveway as it gives access to garages

Please don't add generic references for individual POIs to wikipedia. It completely destroys search results. See for example how adding en:Starbucks to one cafe in Japan caused it to swamp other searches for Starbucks. Wikipedia/wikidata refs must be to the same object not a related one.

In this changeset you say you deleted "line with no purpose", but the relevant way marks an embankment which is part of the tram network.

43085245 about 9 years ago

I suspect you want sidewalk=left on this roundabout rather than sidewalk=both

43091729 about 9 years ago

I'm reverting this edit as it is clearly an incorrect representation of the Gloucs Highway document and worsens information for everyone except drivers turning off the A-road

43091729 about 9 years ago

You have removed all tags from this way when as your note says it is only partially closed to motor traffic. You should have merely added motor_vehicle=no to the way. Here's the notce http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/extra/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=64595&p=0

Just discovered your Bordeaux tree import (when I saw trees in Bordeaux I had a sneaky feeling I knew who might have done it).

A couple of notes: specifically about species=Acer saccharinum.

You have placed the cultivar name in the taxon tag. I think best practice is to follow the example of Vienna. The placed the full taxon name "Acer saccharinum 'Laciniatum Wier'" in the taxon tag (species stays as it is) and placed the cultivar name as taxon:cultivar='Laciniatum Wieri'. Note that this cultivar is spelt incorrectly in some of the Bordeaux data.

I shall certainly return to this data & make proper use of it!

Generally no OSM is not a directory of business services, so when websites are provided it should be directly related to the object itself. One of the more useful purposes of website/url tags is to enable other mappers to quickly verify information. A generic McDonald's url adds no information that any person wouldn't know anyway.
