Welcome to OpenStreetMap,

Many thanks for adding these missing roads. A very useful contribution.

A couple of very minor points:

* We try & spell out street names in full, so "Avenue" not "Ave", "Crescent" not "Cres". It's easy to shorten long forms but not so easy to guess what a short form should be expanded to.
* The Adult Centre can be tagged with amenity=social_facility which is very useful as it covers a whole range of things which might otherwise be a bit awkward to tag. You probably dont want the building tag on the whole area (you can add the building separately) as it overlaps with the service road.

I can make these changes if you like, but you may well prefer to do it yourself. I'm in your hands.

Compliments of the season,

Jerry (SK53)

Adding a link to the relevant way makes it a bit easier to check. Yes it should be swing on Old Goole Bridge. As the edit was to stop routers avoiding these bridges: it worked as I intended, even if I didnt quite use the right tag

Just looking through towns & spotting a fair number of anomalies. For instance I'm not sure that (local to this one) New Brighton is anything more than a suburb of Wallasey (although I've left it as is before now).

Unfortunately this deleted the node for Wallasey entirely.

Unfortunately you didnt check the Wikidata tag you added in this changeset. It is for a different Alford thousands of km away in Florida. I know this was a long time ago, but wikidata tags on their own dont tend to get the 'eyeball' sense checking that a wikipedia tag would have done.

Although the error does appear on https://osmlab.github.io/wikidata-osm/ many of the discrepancies reported there with a 1000km distance filter are trivial and under 1km (e.g., Pittodrie Stadium).

No problem; it's relatively simple, provided: a) one has done it before; b) have the relevant setup in JOSM. If I have josm open on the desktop I can do these quickly when the need arises (as when idly browsing changeset comments ;-)).

I've added these back and also restored the building for 1318 Woodville Court. If the latter has gone feel free to delete, but it does appear in several imagery layers. See changeset/54680347.

Hope this helps fix any problems.

Either use amenity=delivery_office or amenity=postal_depot not amenity=post_office. The former is probably better, but the latter is more popular. Note in many larger places the delivery office is out of town in an industrial estate: locating them can be difficult they need to be tagged distinctly.

You probably need to reload the page in order to flush the tile cache; it's normally pretty fast (minutes rather than hours).

The historical map shows a path here, but apparently meeting a wall: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19&lat=51.4622&lon=-0.2411&layers=173&b=1. Is that the way it is now, or is there no physical path?

Oh, and a big welcome to OpenStreetMap. It's little tweaks like this which help a lot.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I presume that iTeam is your business. Also assuming you are based at home, you can add craft=computer_repair to make it more searchable. If however you don't want the location to be precise then OSM is perhaps not the best place to put the data in the longer term.

Ballygowan looks to have been mapped quite a long time ago which is why the streets dont align well with the imagery. I've added a couple of other things which hopefully add a little more locally. Changing the name to Belfast Road was a very useful correction too.

Cheers,

More to be done. I dont think many field boundaries got added, all TS-C woods need severe tidying up etc. Lots of unmapped woodland towaards Lurgashall.

A wooden gate; fixed

Wire fence (from photos), now added along with a lot of other features

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks very much for adding the nature reserve, a welcome addition in Rushcliffe: I didn't know it existed! I've added the pond (from the OS StreetView Layer) and added a link to the parish website page about the Nature Reserve.

The path shown as going through the reserve comes from ancient maps (1940s), Your local knowledge can help us tidy it up.

Yes some are (for instance Nottingham), but majority are not, and Waverley is in Surrey. You have to find OGL sources for Preston for this.

I doubt if planning portals are acceptable either, unless they make data available under an open licence.

There is good open data for Morrisons in the form of Food Hygiene data. So for instance this one http://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/en-GB/726630/Morrisons-Preston (& the petrol station http://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/en-GB/708330/Morrisons-Service-Station-Preston).

You can use gregrs site to see missing stuff http://gregrs.dev.openstreetmap.org/fhrs/district-98.html.

But dont just add stuff willy-nilly; do some kind of double check (best as ground survey) but big new supermarkets on aerial imagery is fine.

I've re-found it! Was on a later photo in my survey. It's now a lamp box outside Sainsbury's which I've now added node/5267960979.
