Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Is way/361314624 a new-build road (it doesn't exist on the Bing imagery and isn't on OS_OpenData_StreetView either)? Is it really a tertiary road with a 20mph speed limit? That seems an unusual combination.

Hi - perhaps it would help to add a tag other than just name to node/3658893728 - tourism=attraction perhaps?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Is the post office node/3648519272/history really called "On Bear Hill oposite the Village Hall" or is that just a description of where it is? It also seems to be a duplicate of the existing post office way/224737666 .

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! As you've no doubt noticed, edits that you make update the one shared map that everyone sees. That's why it's important that only valid edits are made to the map. If you want to experiment with the editors, you can do so over at http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org (an exact copy of the main site apart from the map display). If you want to map an imaginery world, http://opengeofiction.net/ might be what you're looking for. However if you want to stick around and update the map with things that genuinely exist in this part of Cambridgeshire please do so!

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetmap! You've drawn an "area" over part of north Oxford way/360518816 - I'm not sure what it represents, but if you're trying to create a map showing something it might be better to try and use something like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ (choose what you want to display on a personal map). There's only one set of OpenStreetMap data, and everyone accessing OpenStreetMap.org sees the same map data (in the five different map styles).

Hopefully this explains a bit, but if you've got any further questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks.

Why did you remove the oneway tag from way/309657148/history ? It already has a fixme on it explaining that there is more to be mapped; why did you change the data so that it was actually _wrong_ ?

Are you sure that way/263258600/history is actually a parking_aisle? It seems to be outside the bounds of the car park.

Removing the driveway tag from way/41645258/history smacks a bit of "tagging for the renderer". Just because the "standard" map makes a complete horlicks of anything outside a town centre isn't a good reason to mistag things for it :)

Also, I suspect that the name of node/3657627757 is misspelt.

Is way/319836060/history really named "Woodland inside formal gardens"? If not, there's no need to use a description as a name for OpenStreetMap.

Is the name of node/3657635770 really "playground"? That sounds more like a description of what it is. If something doesn't have an actual name, there's no need to make something up for OSM - "amenity=playground" provides all the identification necessary.

This is a huge changeset, and "fix keepright errors" doesn't explain what was actually changed. As a local mapper how do I find out which changes are local to me and which are not, and what changes were actually made?

Did you actually survey the roads in question here? If not, how do you know that both roads in question are now two-way rather than one-way?

What was the "Oneway problem" that "was fixed" here?

Whilst I can see the logic for what you're doing, was this change actually mentioned anywhere first? If so, it would make sense to link to that discussion here.

For info I've added layer=1 back to way/140324063 since it is higher than everything else nearby.

What are the licence terms associated with "geodata.gov.gr"?

"google maps street view" is not an appropriate source for OSM. See osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details.

What is your source for "Sutton Common" being the name of the peak (as opposed to the locality on which the radio building stands)? Can you explain why "Sutton Common" is the correct name for the peak here and "Croker Hill" is not? You've been blocked before (osm.org/user_blocks/758) for adding duplicate and invalid data - changing other mappers' data (in this case changeset/26122132) without comment or explanation is extremely rude, and adding duplicate and invalid data will get you banned again, unless you can provide an explanation. Please do so, either here, or by PM, or by email to [email protected].
