Dear Vatheeskumar ,

I'm afraid your additions to OpenStreetMap are causing a number of problems. In particular you seem to be adding buildings with an area of several tens of thousands of square kilometers. Can you please stop editing with JOSM and engage in a conversation with us to identify what the root cause of this problem might be.

SK53

If you must add Ireland as a multipolygon it would have been : a) nice to ask the Irish OSM community first; and b) add name tags for all the languages natively spoken on that Ireland (i.e., at the very least the Irish name).

Because it hasn't, please read: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/19609/saint-or-st-is-there-an-official-osm-policy and osm.wiki/Invalid_Abbreviation_Expansion.

I would also suggest being a little lighter in the tone of your comments: it might be offputting to newcomers.

Yeah, fairly marginal. There is an island separating the turn lane from straight on. Don't think there are turn restrictions though. I was meaning to add the unrestricted speed limit from the M1 roundabout :-)

Forgot to mention I'd changed it! From aerial imagery it looks as if the house is a slightly different shape from that shown.

With maps.me you can also add a note which puts a marker on the map saying something like "Yew Tree House".

Someday I'll do more mapping in Hickling, last time I only added housenumbers on Harles Acres.

Some 'buildings' are errors: patches of dark earth. If you cross check against DigitalGlobe Standard Imagery you can see this more clearly. Examples: way/524785250; way/524785249. Both either are bounded by walls/hedges or in latter case have walls/hedges inside the polygon.

A few points, largely noticed whilst looking at the (old) CCW vegetation survey data and my own photos and notes:

Quarry Spoil is not usually mapped as landfill, man_made=spoil_heap seems to be the most widely used tag.

The wood mapped as Coed-yr-Allt includes some areas which are not woodland, OS StreetView is not a good guide here. I also think the name refers just to the part above the Watkin Path.

The large area mapped as bare rock by Llyn Gwynant is not so. There are occasional exposures of rock there, but plenty of grass too.

Please correct typos, no need to send me a message.

Reverted.

You have deleted a very large number of roads from OSM. Perhaps you didnt read the initial screen which says you are NOT editing a personal copy. Removing data of this kind can inconvenience any users wishing to use the maps on-line and can break applications which get data from OSM immediately after the deletion.

It's an unintended Vespucci feature. It assumes that (unless you've flushed the data) the next address will have the same postcode as the last. Normally I spot it and delete the postcode.

I've mentioned it to Simon, perhaps I need to file an issue.

Please fix typos directly & don't send me messages. I'm trying to input a lot of data from 2 big trips whilst my memory is still clear, so I know the data is unlikely to be perfect.

Typos do happen. I imagine it's NG16 like everything else in Awsworth

Please do not map linear road/highway features as areas. The tag highway=motorway will generally be used for routing by a wide number of applications. Introducing a second element for the same object is also frowned on (one feature one element). If you do want to map the areas of highways please use area:highway=* as documented on the wiki. This will not render, but a) you can render it yourself; b) it will be much more usable in the future. You could also request the rendering team to render very wide highways with a wider width.

Welcome to OSM.

One point: I'm not at all sure that Civil Aviation Authority documents (or those of Eurocontrol) are a permissible source for OSM data. They either need to have an suitable open licence or we need a letter saying that we can use the information to add stuff to OSM. A further complication is that stuff may be based on OSGB mapping too.

Could you please clarify the licence for this documents (it's not shown on the PDF).

Sorry for being awkward on your first edit, but keeping OSM data clear of potential copyright issues is something we need to keep an eye on.

Is the Cambridge RUFC ground in Newnham really operated by the University? My understanding is that the club owns the ground with the exception of a 5m ransom strip which is owned by Kings, but presumably leased to CRUFC. Certainly a few years ago there was no sign of the university when it ran into financial problems through overextending commitments.

I realise this changeset was mainly fixing minor errors, but it's rather difficult to review the changes when the area covered is so large.

Changes like converting existing areas to multipolygons can be quite confusing, because one sees tags deleted from ways.

Lastly I note one or two over corrections: I added tree-row to lines of trees because it is non-trivial to identify such things using geographical position on its own; the note on the gallery was appropriate whereas description is not (the actual archives are located elsewhere & someone may then intrepret the description as saying this is the location of the archives).

Just to let you know that I have removed the wikidata/wikipedia tags from two of the flagpoles you added here. Please reserve such tags only for the equivalent object (i.e., wikipedia=Malaysia only belongs on the country). If you want to provide the extra information prefix the tag with extra text. In particular these tags are used by Nominatim to adjudge which elements are important, so the flagpoles were getting undue prominence.

I dont think you meant waterway=lock_gate in this edit. Probably barrier=gate, access=no, note=locked. The adjacent access point should be tagged barrier=stile, stile=stepover, step_count=2, material=wood and ideally the footway should cross the stile not go through the gate

Je penser que la route de Plounevezel a Coatilouarn est signé Straed Koatiloarn, égalementle hameau est signé "Koatiloarn" au point ou i'l quitte la Route de Brest (https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/xrkzHorcxNtvwgyH8FVMgA). Je suggère "Koatilouarn" pour la nom de hameau, Straed Koatilouarn" pour la route, est name:fr pour les tags existant. Il y a deux ans et je n'avais aucune chance de rechercher les noms de rues a Plounevezel. Mais, j'ai eu l'impression que ils sont tous en breton.

Salut, Jerry
