Hi, thanks for your edits to OSM. By ‘height’, do you mean the building’s elevation above sea level (in metres)? The height= tag indicates the actual height of a building, so as it stands the tagging for Mozergh Cottage is saying the building’s 143m tall!

Note that the name= tag is unnecessary as that’s already tagged as osm.wiki/Tag:addr:housename=.

In changeset/90932555 you appear to have made the Beck Cottage building significantly larger — is the building actually that large, or is that the extent of the curtilage? If so, that needs to be tagged separately.

I can make these changes for you if that would help? Ta.

Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks for reverting it, and thanks for your continued work on fixing typoed tags :)

(For anyone reading in the future, it was reverted in changeset changeset/90516145)

Hi, I’m not sure why you made this change. What was wrong with diet:low_fodmap=yes? It’s not on the wiki, but I think it’s a valid and widespread diet which people would appreciate knowing a cafe caters for. See https://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/. Is there a better tag for it? Thanks

These things happen 🤷

(Fixed in changeset/90400092, for future reference)

Hey, it looks like a lot of this edit is a raw GPS trace which duplicates the existing road and has no tags. I assume that’s an accident?

Cool, hope it looks correct to you now. Happy editing :)

Hi, thanks for your edit. Unfortunately you accidentally marked a large section of the canal towpath as being in a tunnel. :) I’m not sure what your aim was, but I’ve undone those changes and fixed one spot where the canal towpath was crossing the canal south of Ratcliffe Wharfe Lane. :)

Hi, thanks for responding! :)

You could upload photos of the waterfall somewhere (https://www.geograph.org.uk/ is good), that would be helpful.

If you’ve named it yourself then the name can’t go into OpenStreetMap, as it’s not meaningful to anyone else, and can’t be verified later (by looking at a signpost, for example). See here for more information: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Verifiability

The waterfall itself, as a physical feature, can definitely be mapped.

Hi, thanks for your contribution to OSM. I can’t find any references to this waterfall on other maps, and don’t know of it from my walks locally. I’m not sure it exists. Can you please provide some contextual information about it? In particular, where does the name come from? Thanks.

Re-added in changeset/88922872 :)

Hi, thanks for your edits around Barrow recently. In this edit, you deleted some solar panels which were recently mapped on Walney School. Do you have local knowledge that they don’t actually exist? See here for the reasons why it’s useful to map solar panels: osm.wiki/UK_2019_Q3_Project:_Solar_Power

Also, note that you can press ‘Q’ in the editor when a building is selected to automatically square its corners, which makes the map a bit neater.

Ta!

Hi, thanks for your recent edits, they show a lot of local knowledge and attention to detail. One note — you can press the ‘Q’ key while an area is selected to automatically square its corners. It helps with drawing buildings and other regular areas. Cheers!

Nice work on South Lakes solar recently :)

I see. Unfortunately there are a few issues with your edit. Primarily, you deleted all the existing metadata from the restaurant, including its name and address; and you relabelled it as a hotel. The new outline isn’t square (you can square a building up by pressing ‘Q’ with it selected in the editor).

There were some issues with the metadata of your changeset too: please keep edits localised, rather than combining changes from North-West England and Alaska into one changeset. And please provide a changeset description which actually describes what you’ve changed and why you’ve changed it (not just ‘s’) so that others know your intentions.

Looking at your changes in Alaska, they don’t look right either. You’ve changed an administrative boundary into a subway.

I’m going to revert this edit. Please take a bit more care in future! :)

Hi, can you clarify what happened to the Owl and the Pussycat restaurant please? Their website says they’re still open. Thanks

I've reverted the changes as changeset#87641097, using http://revert.osmz.ru/, thanks for replying about it :)

All of these national parks are already mapped, and mapping them again as a single attraction node does not make sense — a national park is an area, not a single point.

Would you consider reverting this changeset?

87525398 over 5 years ago

Hi, thanks for your edits around St Bees! Just to check, is the big building on Sea View a single detached house, or is it a terrace? If it’s a terrace, you can tag it as building=terrace. building=house is intended for detached houses, or individually mapped semis or terrace houses. :)

Removed in changeset changeset/87295651

No problem, thanks for engaging constructively :)
