Hiya, this edit spans most of the north of England, making it very hard for others to review.

Please be mindful of this and submit changes in smaller, more geographically focussed changesets in future. This should probably have been 7 different changesets.

See also osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Thanks :)

Hiya, when marking caravan sites as disused, simply deleting the name will not work. That leaves the site still tagged, but nameless.

Instead, you need to change the `name` tag to `old_name`, and `tourism=caravan_site` to `disused:tourism=caravan_site` as per the lifecycle prefix documentation (osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix).

I’ve done this for this changeset in changeset/172631067, but I am not going to do it for all your changesets.

Happy editing :)

Thanks! I know there are a few other comments about semis/terraces which need splitting. I’ve run out of time to do those today, but if you’d like to do it, just enable the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels overlay in ID, set the imagery offset to -0.49,-1.41 (which is what I think the offset is between Bing and Cadastral Parcels for Casterton), and split the buildings. I find it’s easiest to temporarily remove all the tags from the buildings to prevent them turning into multipolygons, then re-add the tags after splitting is complete. :)

Super, thanks :)

Heya, you added this Shap quarry information board in the middle of a field. Is it really there? Or is it closer to the footpath near a stile/wall?

Thanks for fixing this :)

Oh good. Thanks for checking!

Heya, this is a great load of house numbers to add, thanks for taking the time to survey!

I’ve just split up the one building which was accidentally a semi, at 37/38 Aspen Close (way/1413247767). I had to guess which way round the house numbers are, so if you can remember which way round they are and double check my edit (changeset/172130377) that would be great :)

Super, thanks! And thanks for the rest of your edits around Haweswater recently. It's nice to see some more detail being added to the place :)

Heya, please be mindful of osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions and consider using more specific tagging for Bowderthwaite Bridge and the sheepfold SW of it, rather than labelling them in their names.

e.g. A osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix for the bridge, and building=sheepfold or man_made=sheepfold for the sheepfold.

Ta :)

Reported where?

Deleting the name from a campsite won’t mark it as closed in OSM. Instead, you need to change name=blah to old_name=blah, and tourism=campsite to disused:tourism=campsite as per the osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix documentation. Thanks

I’ve changed the church access road to maxspeed=5mph in changeset/172003094 as per the above reasoning.

Thanks! :) That should reduce the chance of future confusion.

Perhaps also add tourism=attraction and sport=parachuting as per sport=parachuting?

Their website seems to position them as an attraction (anyone can book a skydive) rather than, say, a club (you have to become a member before you can skydive).

Thanks for the updates here! A quick note on deletions: where possible it’s better to keep an existing area, tweak its layout (including splitting or combining it if needed) and change its tagging to reflect its current use; rather than deleting it and creating a new area.

This keeps the editing history, so people can see the evolution of an area over time.

See osm.wiki/Keep_the_history :)

Resolved in changeset/171791746 I see, thanks for that

Did you intend to add bicycle=no to way/1427124073? It seems unlikely that cars are allowed on that road but bicycles aren’t.

If it’s a weird signage setup, I suggest adding a note:bicycle tag to the road to explain it, otherwise someone might remove it in future because they don’t understand the situation on the ground.

Right, thanks for surveying. The fact that the church access road was previously 5mph would surely mean that
(a) it’s a private road (I don’t believe 5mph speed limits exist or are valid on any public road) and
(b) if the 5mph sign is still there then the speed limit on that road is 5mph, even if it’s within a 20mph zone?

In changeset/171457594 you added maxspeed:advisory=5mph, but I think maxspeed=5mph would be better for it. aiui, maxspeed:advisory is meant for advisory speed limits on bends (sign: https://www.drivingtesttips.biz/images/recommended-speed-limit.jpg). See maxspeed:advisory=*

The alignment on the second load of houses you added looks fine. Basically you need to align property boundaries to the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels overlay, as that’s a source of ground truth about alignment. The aerial imagery can be offset by up to about 2m in either direction, and that offset varies unpredictably across the country. It also changes every few years when the imagery is updated. The Cadastral Parcels don’t as they come from the Land Registry which is surveyed on the ground quite accurately.

There’s also parallax error to account for, so if you can see the side of a house in the aerial imagery, then move the geometry you’ve drawn so it lines up with the base of the house (not the roof).

It’s a bit complicated, but once the geometry is drawn and lined up, it should basically never need to change :)

Thanks for your edits around Torrisholme recently, and thanks for picking up the detailed mapping style and aerial imagery offsets after I tweaked the houses on Holbeck Avenue. :) I’m local and happy to answer any questions you might have, though it seems like you’re getting along just fine. Happy mapping!
