@Frans
You shouldn't rely on the alignment of Bing imagery. JOSM even gives a warning by default that Bing imagery may be misaligned. The error can become more extreme the more uneven the terrain is. There are public GPS traces in this area which suggest this road should moved by a few meters east and suggest the original mapping of these buildings was correct.

the documented China specific naming rules state that `name` should contain only the Chinese name and the tibetan name should only be in the `name:bo` tag

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for contributing to OSM.
Just a small tip, in the online editor you can square up ways by right clicking on them and pressing the square button or by using the shortcut "Q".
Hope this is of some use.

Kind regards,
Kits

Hello Brian,
In relation to this note note/5095889
is there a reason for the `so=residential` tag added to some of the houses in this changeset or is it simply a mistake?

Kind regards,
Kits

I would like to second Mr LordGarySugar. These useless changeset comments must stop. Its gone on for far too long. You have made 4,364 changesets, 2922 of them have had either "edit" or "edits" as a changeset comment. Please start adding descriptive commends to make it clear what edits you are making.

The "substation", "pole transformer", "primary","grid" and "supergrid" postfixs are added intentionally and is a UK wide standard the uk osm power community knows about it and its contradiction to norms but at the moment nothing has be decided so I am simply maintaining the status que.

You're misunderstanding what the wiki is saying, its saying if a feature is truly unnamed, that is not known by any name to any person. this is true for many roads, some only have refs others are too minor and don't have any known name or ref at all. in these situations don't use the name=* tag and use the noname=yes tag instead.

These transformers have been named, they have one and only one name as such using any name variant other than name=* doesn't make sense.

The fact that the name is not printed on the feature is not a issue. As the same wiki page states the source of a name can be "Common or official usage". this is the same for many features like for example a forest. it may not have a sign on the ground stating the name of the forest but that doesn't make the forest unnamed since a name is simply a identifier used by a group of people to identify a particular object.
