Heh, just seen the CS area!
And also that the error I'm possibly highlighting was my own, when I knew even less about bus stops.
NFA. Happy mapping.

Hi,
As a novice bus-stop tagger, can I check the use of "network" here? I understood network would be Delaine, and "route_ref" would be 201;202.

It’s building supplies

Hi,
Re the footbridge that is a continuation of the Gale:
I passed the on the bike today and the bridge looked to be in use: fresh mud path tramped over the grass and crossing the bridge.
I didn’t go up to the bridge itself.
On that info is it worth reinstating the bridge, given what you saw a year ago prompting this CS?

Thanks, I've made those changes.

Hi,

Could I check why you removed the denomination tags from Masroor Hall?

Thanks,

Hi again Merzof

I've just seen here you opted to remove the amenity= and religion= tags from the mosque building way/1317576456.

I assume you put those on the node that I absorbed back into the building yesterday. So my changeset comment just now probably wasn't telling you anything you didn't know.

Looks like we have different assumptions about the right way to map mosques. Can I ask your thinking on the building=mosque with separate node for amenity=place_of_worship?

Thanks,

Hi Merzof

Thanks for adding a lot of mosques (my special interest).

It's very annoying to me that building=mosque doesn't mean mosque. Instead it means "building built as a mosque, possibly with stereotypical mosquey features".

To indicate a place where Muslims can pray, the tags
amenity=place_of_worship and
religion=muslim
are needed.

Sometimes this amenity is found in a building=mosque, but often (in the UK) it's in a building=commercial or even in a building=church (because building= indicates what the building was originally built for.)

Despite this, there are a *lot* of mosques in the UK that are tagged building=mosque but not amenity=place_of_worship and at some point I hope to do a bulk edit.

Here on Ross Street, it looks like the new building on the corner with Werneth Hall Road should be building=mosque, but the older one at no 11 should probably be building=yes?

I added amenity and religion tags to the new building yesterday, but didn't see no 11.

If you can add the amenity= and religion= tags when you find a mosque this would be very helpful!

Happy mapping,

Hi,

I have changed a few building=mosque to building=yes, in accordance with the wiki specification that a =mosque is only for buildings built as a mosque. I may have them wrong from aerial, but most look like they are ordinary terrace buildings, etc.

Thoughts welcome! Happy mapping.

no probs. Spring Rd - 133, too. I'll change that in a sec now I know what's going on

Hi,

Just querying a slightly odd set of tags: a substation is tagged as a mosque.

I assume something is wrong, but can't be sure what it is!

Do you have details?

Thanks.

node/11877093570

Full house! Thank you :)

Thanks for adding Dunmore Head. Think you also added Brow Head?
Malin Head is in the map too.
If you know better than me where to put Burr Point on the east coast, that would be great :-)

Oh interesting, thanks. Looking more closely at the tags I see it’s not yet a refugee site. But if the masjid was for Saudi armed forces it’s all the more likely to be Sunni, I would think? If it makes sense to tag with a denomination at all in this case

Hi,

Interested that this is tagged as a Shia mosque while most Muslim refugees in the UK are Sunni.

Do you know if it's specially provided for Shia refugees, or is it open access to anyone on the site?

Thanks,

Hi

I was just wondering if you remember why you tagged the footpath under Sounding Bridge as “former cycleway”?

It’s still marked on OS maps as a traffic free route, and signs at the bridge itself have “cyclists dismount “ - so arguably still a cycle way? (I just about managed without dismounting fwiw!)

But if there’s been some official change then that makes sense

If you can remember from 7 years ago…

Happy mapping

Hi, Thanks for tagging the building.

Is it actually called "Industrial", or did you mean that as a description?

Thanks,

eteb3

I see this very question has been hashed over on the listserv. Here's Rob vindicating my position ;-)

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2022-January/028432.html

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, talk-gb is an email list - see here for some discussions on this topic:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Flists.openstreetmap.org%2Fpipermail%2Ftalk-gb%2F+%22post+town%22&t=osx

(More heat than light in some cases!)

Happy to accept that addr:city is for the post town.

Checking Rob's pages here
https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/addr-tags.html
it seems plenty of UK addresses (in OSM) also make use of addr:village. That might be better in these cases than suburb? Refreshing my memory with a quick scan of the discussions above, the village will never (or only very rarely) form part of the 'official' Royal Mail address - so it's a physical, ground-truth element, rather than referring to the RM gazetteer (which I think gets called PAF?), so I'd argue that calling it a village rather than a suburb has informational value.

Is addr:city reserved for the RM post town, then? I seem to remember a long discussion in the Talk-GB list saying otherwise.

In any case, Castor as “suburb” of Peterborough seems not quite right to me: it looks, feels, and considered itself to be be separate village - and it’s a “parished area” administratively
