shop=erotic is far more popular than shop=adult, so this probably should be retagged

Not a fire station (nearest is Tollcross). Could be office for fire service.

Split this garden in two gardens: Dean gardens (http://www.deangardens.org) and Belgrave Crescent gardens (http://www.belgravecrescentgardens.co.uk) and extend the two resulting gardens until the Water of Leith (cf. websites). Problem: where is the boundary between the two gardens?

In some of my previous edits, I moved some of the buildings in a possible incorrect position, using the higher zoom level of the Bing imagery. Kindly, jalek sent me a message to point me out this problem of misalignment. After a discussion with him, I learned more about how the map here has been created (e.g. using the OS StreetView to trace roads) and this discussion helped me a lot to understand the creation process here.

So I would like to apologise if I modified the positions of some of the buildings you have previously created. Even if now the buildings have a better shape and have been split, their position is maybe not the best one. Therefore I will fix the problem before the end of this week.

For information, in the next two or three weeks, all the addresses of the buildings in the Comely Bank, Stockbridge, Broughton and Bruntsfield areas will be at least added. Most of the surveys have been done already (but not yet registered on the map) so there is no need to do it for other contributors. In the next two months, the objective is to split more buildings, improve their shape and add the maximum of addresses in town.

The display of Channings Hotel isn't great at all. For information, the Channings Hotel goes from number 12 to number 16 plus the two Southern buildings.

Could someone propose a better solution to provide the information of this POI on the map without any duplication? (maybe the creation of a relation)

Thanks in advance.

Some buildings (probably some garages) are missing in Lynedoch Place Lane.

Wrong position for this Bus stop: should be in Ann Street
