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

I do, where can I post it?

re way/122747657
Was this one you GPXd on your trip out to Haddon? The circuit of the field along N and then E boundaries isn't consistent with the fingerpost (nor OS map) and when I walked it neither the OSM b'way nor the OS b'way was evident on the ground.

I'm wondering whether to replace the two-sides-of-a-square route with the designated bridleway that I actually walked. Any further info? I can't see your trace on the map, but I'm inexpert (and maybe you didn't upload it, and maybe you only walked the fp marked TBC?)

Ta, have retagged

Hi Robert,

Just checking: are you sure this path should be tagged as designated for cyclists?

way/1291147039

I've had a brief look and I feel I'd dismount to get to the hotel entrance.

But if you know it is, fine.

Cheers,

Hi, you can ignore this: I've found how to go back to the reverted changeset, and I can understand why there was a problem. Thanks. eteb3

Hi, can I ask why you removed the religious landuse here? Does the place not exist at all, or did you think it was better not added as landuse? Thanks. eteb3

Oh yes, NLS! I remember seeing them mentioned on the GB list.

Thank you.

Hi Minh Nguyen

I'm on a bit of a foray to discover how people are using the place_of_worship=musalla tag.

It seems you added one here: node/8262966505

Do you remember why you chose to call the place =musalla rather than =mosque?

My wiki discussion is here:
osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:place_of_worship%3Dmusalla

A collection of use cases here:
osm.wiki/User:Eteb3/ideas#Mosque_vs_musalla_(2024-08-05)

Thoughts welcome! Thanks,

eteb3

Thanks for all your replies on other changesets.

One more on this one: we have a conflict between the elevation given for the trig point (558) versus the peak (550). Do you know how to settle it? Is there an open source we can use?

PS usernames for the wiki must start with a capital letter, if I recall correctly. So I'm Eteb3 there.

Good to know more about @Rtfn.

I look forward to hearing more from him and you!

Hello adiatmad,

Certainly don't mind you joining! the more the merrier.

I've started a discussion on the wiki page: osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:place_of_worship%3Dmusalla

I'm trying to work out if the Malay/Indonesian use of =musalla is a local quirk, or something we should generalise internationally.

Would you like to add to the discussion at the wiki page? Especially, a bit more detail on your local knowledge would be very helpful.

Salam EbūJeɛfer

I'm interested in how people are using the 'place_of_worship=musalla' tag.

Can I ask why you decided to change the tag on Mushollah Sunan Bonang from =mosque to =musalla? What do you see as the difference between a masjid and a musalla?

Thank you,

eteb3

Hi osmlecenc

Hope you're enjoying life off the map!

I see you've edited two mosques here, and tagged the one you added (Sidi Lachen) as place_of_woship=musalla.

I'm interested in how people are using this tag: could you quickly let me know how you decided this should be tagged musalla, rather than 'mosque'?

Thanks!
