I'd say Campbeltown Loch is not part of the firth, as per the larger sea lochs (Loch Long, Gare Loch etc). It's pretty well defined as from the light on Island Davaar to the point opposite. The actual bounds of the Firth seem reasonable (I'd always include Ailsa Craig), although Sanda may be a bit far out. Also the seas to N & W of Arran may not be properly part of the Firth of Clyde (see https://maps.nls.uk/view/142841715): Kilbrennan Sound is certainly a distinct named seaway.

It's usually a good idea to leave the outline of demolished things (change key to demolished:building, for instance). It helps avoid people putting them back from old imagery :-)

Should be Carn Mill, St Helens

Amazingly I visited Newhouse Farm (& NNR)last Wednesday. I think only the fields in the NNR can be truly classified as meadows, most of the rest are rough pasture (e.g., Cow Gill Field. The NT ecologist referred to one field as Big Field, so not quite sure how well traditional names have stayed in use: might be useful to talk to them directly.

Please don't do this sort of thing. OSM is actually used by real people to do real things. It may look cute to add things like these, but it may affect people using the data & wastes the time of people like me.

Fixed changeset/71811740

Thanks, was hoping by now iD would autocomplete this one, but have to type the whole damn thing

It may be worth finding a way to add a note on the actual way about the closure too. I know when Jesus Lock Bridge was closed there was some discussion about whether conditional tagging might work for closures, but I suspect things haven't moved on since.

No problems: in the dim & distant past the editor did upload the changes, but if one made a mistake it could be awkward: especially as the maps only updated once a week. So we don't do that now!

You might want to change the road from construction to residential or service too!

Hi & welcome to OSM,

You deleted an area of construction near Market Harborough as well as adding buildings in Senegal. I just wondered if the former action was inadvertent. If it was I'll put it back.

Yours,

Jerry aka SK53

Probably a sensible thing is to check actual UK usage of a tag (e.g., heathcare: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/keys/healthcare). The basic problem with healthcare is that it never gained traction (similarly with education) and has never really been tested in real-life (e.g., by a ward-by-ward mapping of a large hospital). I see no harm in adding the tags *providing* you are editing it for other reasons (something I'll do with brand:wiki* tags).

The overall problem with doing updates to POIs when mapping remotely is that it can give other mappers a false perspective that an area has recently been checked by someone. This is particularly true if one is in the field with Vespucci as it highlights POIs un-touched for a certain time (typically a year). It's probably not so critical in Nottingham because when re-surveying I usually like to check each POI, but I certainly pay *more* attention to those outline in pink.

It is also true that an obviously out-of-date area conveys information to someone using OSM data (e.g., a Lloyds-TSB is probably a good sign not to trust information on local pubs). This is why the current "Ghosts" listing encourages people to go & visit places because it is likely that far more things need updating.

Please try & keep changes made with maproulette to what is in the description, or expand the changeset comment so that it is explanatory (e.g, adding brand tags using iD presets). It's difficult to assess exactly what you've changed with such a sparse and inaccurate comment.

Additionally you have changed leisure=youth_club to club=yes which removes information. Please do not follow iD's preset suggestions without thought, particularly in an area with active mappers who may well disagree with decisions taken by the authors of iD (who have recently removed some of their more controversial validations: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/2267)

Additionally mass updates like this make it rather harder to find real changes when doing ground surveys. I use Vespucci which highlights objects not edited for a while. This type of edit means that it looks as though someone has recently checked things, when in fact it's a someone not in the area. For instance you edited HSBC, but actually the name changed to HSBC UK months ago, and I may have missed this if I had not been explicitly looking for it.

By all means do some other changes, but preferably in separate changesets from the Maproulette challenge. This is particularly useful in cases where local mapping convention might be at odds with what iD sees as the convention. (None particularly in this case, most changes genuinely seem to be from less-well used to more widely used tags: artwork to artwork_type, barrier=entrance to entrance=yes etc, but there are certainly others).

I'd also avoid adding healthcare tags on doctors & dentists etc. These are not widely used by consuming apps & add noise to local changes).

Incidentally whatpub says it's closed, but was obviously open n Tuesday

Is the Harley really a hotel, looked a bit dive like to me from outside. At best I'd think of it as a pub with rooms. I'm not sure having 2 nodes is right in this case. (PS. I know it's not your original mapping, but it looks as if you checked it recently)

Can we close this note, and start new ones for other things? It bears little resemblance to my original comment. Thanks, Jerry

I presume Robin Hood Otors should be Robin Hood Motors (pointed out on IRC)

I generally do that if the place is obviously retail premises. I didn't do that for the Nottingham one because it's located in an old town house, so what it becomes next I don't know. Paul Smith next door doesn't really look like a shop from outside (not much changed from this photo: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1911469).

Hi Jez,

I think you've still got the restaurant tag active for Jamie's Italian. old_name=Jamie's Italian currently corresponds well with active mapping communities: Nottingham, York, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow & Brighton :-).

Jerry

Does the Alpha House Dental Clinic really exist on Alpha Road in Cambridge?

Hi Max,

Not sure I'd class West Covina Medical Center (https://www.westcovinafamilymedical.com/specialities/) as a hospital. Looks pretty much like a standard doctors practice, although I'm not sure what "Urgent Care" means in US terms.

Cheers,

Jerry

PS. LA County Open Data looks to have some good resources (e.g., restaurant inspections).
