Strongly agree with @SomeoneElse. The place=isolated_dwelling tag is almost always a mistake in Britain. For large distinctive isolated buildings (country houses for instance) adding name to the building is fine, for smaller residences this information belongs in addr:housename. Where an isolated dwelling is an actual topographic name use place=locality. Many 'isolated dwellings' these days are 2-3: say original farm house, the farm bungalow (warmer than former) and old workers cottages may all look to be one site, but the old house is a second home, the bungalow is where the famer lives, and the cottages are holiday lets. They're often hard to disentangle even by survey, so at a minimum a source tag is needed.

Thanks it needed a source:name

Yes, looks to have gone according to OSSV http://os.openstreetmap.org/#zoom=16&lat=53.15099&lon=-0.9938. Cant find my pic of the postbox, but I dont remember anything looking like a former PO.

I suspect the post office mapped in Eakring (node/426994556) is an error for the post box in almost the same location. I certainly dont recall seeing a post office here in June 2015.

Thanks, new addresses & postcodes are always very valuable. You might also like to add office=computer_services and maybe draw the building and then you will be more visible. I think we had no aerial imagery when I first mapped the area.

Very late I know, but: a) what is the source of this data; b) is it documented on the Import list on the wiki; c) was this import discussed on the import mailing list. Quality seems very low.

Please don't delete ways without checking if they are part of a relation. You broke the boundary of two Irish Vice Counties by deleting way/355190936. These are actively used by Irish botanists & other naturalists.

This map data is used by millions of people. Please dont mess around with it for 'fun'

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.

44032561 about 9 years ago

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.

43502359 about 9 years ago

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
