Hi, I got some odd instructions from maps.me for this roundabout today. Now I am home and able to check I see that for some strange reason you removed the roundabout tags and replaced it with oneway. Why?

Hi, welcome to OSM. Please remember that osm is a live database, please do not usr it for tests. I am removing this doodle.

Hi, thank you for adding these footpaths, however they should not end where the gate/stile is, they need to connect to the road otherwise routers will see them as dead ends and not use them.
I have connected the footpaths to the roads.
Cheers Phil

The definition of a mini-roundabout is not necessarily painted white, but it needs to be traversable. At least one in Oakengates is cobblestones.
This one is very definitely a mini-roundabout, and painted white, so I have corrected it.

Hi johnnie
There was no need to remove these paths, I am in no doubt that they exist. They just needed to be connected to Thornton Lane and the sidewalk tag removing as they are not sidewalks.
But please do no check OS, we do not have permission to use such data, what you see is the best data we can have.
Cheers Phil

Hi, please can you explain this change, as far as I know wikipedia tags are not case sensitive. Who decided they must start with a capital letter?

Hi, not sure how closely you were looking here, but the smaller roundabout is clearly a mini-roundabout.

Hi, I'm not sure the address and postcode belong on the ATM. They belong to the post office to which it is attached :)

No response, so reverted

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your additions, however you do need to connect them to the road for them to be useful. Also I do not think footway=sidewalk is really an accurate description of these cross-field rights of way.
The correct way to tag rights of way is highway=footway, designation=public_footpath.
Feel free to ask if you need any help/advice.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit however you have created a number of duplications. McDonalds and TNT were already mapped using ways, mapping with nodes are a bit of a step backwards.
Also the name tag is for an actual name, and should not be used for descriptions such as 'playground' and 'car wash'.
If you could have a go at fixing these it would be appreciated, ask if you need any help.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. I have been trying to work out what you were doing here and all I could find were two new ways which had no tags. I am going to revert this change.
Please carry on editing, but it is better to map things locally that you know well to start with.

Hi, welcome to OSM.
In OSM we map what exists on the ground, the tags you have added suggest that this is on the wrong continent. Please remove and, if it.really exists, add.in an appropriate place. But please remember that OSM is not a business directory.

A google search took me in a little deeper and that gave a strange area, http://statistics.data.gov.uk/doc/statistical-geography/E00147121 which I could not work out the logic behind although it was suggested that it is postcodes, that example cuts at least one postcode in half.
It does feel wrong to be adding reference tags that refer to a different source to the one used to map the boundary, this area was mapped using OS Opendata Boundaryline.

Hi, just wondering if ref:gss has any purpose in osm. There appear to be several within the town, why this one? and what purpose do they serve? The areas have no geographic meaning and appear to have been drawn by a 2 year old.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your contribution however Rose Park appears to be someones back garden, please remember that we only map things that exist on the ground.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Priory Country Park is already mapped as a nature reserve. Adding a park over the top seems contradictory and doubles the name. Bing imagery seems to confirm it is not what we normally tag as a park.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your contribution, based on your description and aerial imagery this area is a recreation ground, rather than a park. I have changed it and added the playground.

Hi, welcome to osm. Something has gone a little wrong here, the building you have created is rather large and covers several streets. Would you like some help fixing it?
