Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your additions, they look good.
A couple of small things that would be helpful:
If you could tag rights of way with a designation tag i.e. designation=public_bridleway, public_footpath.
Rather thatn the description it would be better if you could add a short section for footway and map the bridge. I would add it, but the imagery isn't clear enough to see which side it is on.
Thanks Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Something has gone a little wrong here. You have added the name funeral home to a banks atm. As far as I can see there was no duplicate bank.
Also could you correct the name of the co-op to what is signed, usually Co-Operative Food,
Thanks

Again are you sure this isn't Lloyds Pharmacy?

48859364 over 8 years ago

Thank you, the name implies a gym type place. Was just checking .

48859364 over 8 years ago

Hi, the name suggests that this should be tagged as leisure=fitness_centre, a shop=sport is a place selling sports equipment.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit, however you have made a few classic beginners mistakes.
The school is already mapped, you have therefore created a duplicate.
The name tag should only be used for things that have an actual name, hence bus stop, church, postbox are descriptions that should not be tagged in this way. The postbox, bus stop probably don't have names and the name should be left blank. The church will have a name, but it wont be church.

I would agree farmyard is far more important than farmland itself. It is afterall the default state of non urban areas. It is a big shame that meadow has been so badly misused, it should be a rare but useful tag. Most.is simply pasture.
If we are going to map farmland we should be doing it at a much finer level than we have so far. At a field by field level with farmland=arable/pasture.
As a countryside @mapper the most useful features.are the barriers. Hence I tend to map hedges/fences/stiles/gates and ignore landuse.
Well enough of my moaning, have fun mapping.
Cheers Phil

It was never a pressing issue, farm/farmland is of dubious values consiting of vast areas armchaired by crayonists. It.adds very little value to those of us using OSM in rural areas.
Many areas close to me were poorly drawn with connections to roads/rivers (not riverbank) and I had left them until I had time to map those areas properly. However you simply armchaired them without considering if they actually add anything.

Hi, welcome to OSM. In OSM we map what exists in the real world, we do not map things as something it is not.
I have reverted this edit.

Hi, thank you for this addition. You should add religion and denomination tags here.
Maps.me is a bit basic, so probably wont allow you to do this, you should use a proper OSM editor such as iD from the OSM site.

Hi Alex
There is no such thing as a private tag, OSM allows a user to add any tag they wish. Those with a small number are unlikely to be rendered but a mapper is free to use any tags, this one is pretty well accepted in the area where it is used and describes a beer garden. Maybe the tagging can be improved, but that is one for the UK community.
This is certainly not a biergarten as found in Germany, to tag it as one is misleading. Normally the wiki should be taken with a very large pinch of salt but in this case the wiki for Biergarten, amenity=biergarten, explicitly says this as I quoted originally
To be clear, a biergarten is not the same as (what is known in the UK as) a "beer garden", i.e., an outside area associated with a pub. These are not biergartens in the Southern German sense and may be tagged as a beer_garden.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Please remember that OSM is a public database and the name:xx tag should only be used for things that actually exist. It should not be used for personal markers or to record how much you paid for lunch.
I am reverting this changeset.

Hi, I think something has gone wrong with this series of edits. This is a pub beer garden, not a German style biergarten.
According to the wiki amenity=biergarten

To be clear, a biergarten is not the same as (what is known in the UK as) a "beer garden", i.e., an outside area associated with a pub. These are not biergartens in the Southern German sense and may be tagged as a beer_garden.

It is important to understand what the mapper intended and not assume they have mistagged an object.

Please revert this and other similar mechanical armchaired edits.

Thanks Phil

Hi, this is a big change and covers a large area. Please could you use meaningful changeset comments that tell other mappers what you were doing. Did you actually look at every one of the 11 pages of ways you have changed.
I am sure that if as you say you were fixing josm, you would not have touched the map.

48724108 over 8 years ago

It translates as Oli's House, suggesting that this is yet another maps.me personal marker.
I am reverting this rubbish

48658364 over 8 years ago

Hi, welcome to OSM. We do not map geocaches, it kind of defeats the object.
I have reverted this.

48574727 over 8 years ago

This is a garden, it is not a park

48560266 over 8 years ago

Hi, the railway stations should be tagged as Borth, not Borth Station. You have also changed it to a station. Borth is a request stop, hence it was already correctly tagged as a halt.

48557606 over 8 years ago

Hi, you seem to have removed the railway=rail tags from the Cambrian Line. I am fixing this.
