My local post office node/2636954315/history had the correct opening hours and is mapped as a separate node so as you you say should have the opening hours of the counter but now has a strange version of the supermarket opening hours. Its open until 22:00.
This seems to be a problem with this data and post offices within supermarkets/convenience shops in general where they have the hours of the shop, rather than the counter without making clear what services are actually available from the shops restricted post office.

This edit is not very helpful, the information is very misleading and gives a false impression of opening hours.
The opening hours of my local post office were surveyed and not armchaired from a misleading website. I can assure you the post office is not open at 20:00 or on a Sunday.
The co-op has a scale thing that may be available if they have a member of staff who knows how to use it but that is not the post office which is a lot more than letters and parcels. It mapped as a separate object to which the opening refer.
Maybe a tag is needed to indicate that a shop has one of the scale things, but mechanical edits is neither the answer or helpful.

Hi, this changeset seems a little odd. Why have you added layer=1 to Tesco, it is very much on the ground.

Hi, thank you for your edit however the cafe is already mapped and I have removed your duplication.
Maps.me is no longer supported, I believe it has been replaced by organic maps.

When a new mapper appears from nowhere and starts to change tagging which local experienced mappers have agreed on for over a decade makes me think here we go again.
In the UK the community has agreed city will only be used for places that are actually cities. The population for Telford is also for the county of Telford and Wrekin not the population of the 'Town' of Telford.
Any changes such as this you should as a minimum discuss them with the UK community.

Your comments seem to be missing tertiary, which is how most two lane roads with a 60mph limit are mapped. These are also what we in the UK call these unclassified, in rural terms unclassified in OSM is used for roads which are too narrow to have lanes.
It is important not to take the names of tags too literally.

Shell Island is hardly an insignificant destination

Bore da
Why hav you changed the highway type of the Shell Island causeway to a track. It is hardly for agricultural use

Please keep your changes to sensible areas. This changeset covers a large area, several countries and should be broken into several smaller changes.

Hi
This edit has gone rather wrong, Gullet Lane leads to a bridleway so access cannot be private can it?

When tagging access on rights of way please ensure you do not break other usecases, this could well be motor_vehicle=private, but it is a right of way for foot/bikes and horses.

Thank you however those sites are hardly authoritative and the names appear to have been made up with no on the ground knowledge. Hardly suitable for OSM which is supposed to reflect the real world.

A junction name should as a minimum appear on a sign.

What is the source of this ridiculous name, nobody calls it Whetstone as it is not in Whetstone.

It has no verifiable name but is generally known as Leicester South of just Junction 21.

You do seem to be adding pointless duplicate name tags, which just adds clutter and makes it harder for unpaid mappers who look after their own local areas to spot the important tags, OSMs most valuable resource are these unpaid volunteers.

You don't need to add translated names where they don't differ from the main name tag, any computerised data consumer should be able to use the name tag if there is no language specific name.

What source are you using for these edits?

Thank you for your reply, however you have not answered my question as to where these edits were discussed with the UK community, I would expect a minimum of a post to the talk-gb mailing list.

I suspect the bug you should be reporting is that it is checking motorway bridges at all. If a motorway bridge is anything other than default then there has been an epic fail on behalf of the builders.

I am, it seems unlikely that such a small place has a non-local name, that is normally for big cities.

120051550 over 3 years ago

Hi, what is the source of this name.

Cheers Phil

119990551 over 3 years ago

This relation is for the adin area City of Leicester, yet you have added a large number of duplicates which simply say Leicester. There is no point adding duplicate name tags.

Please could you also use meaningful human readable changeset comments which describe what you have done so that the local community can read what you have done. A maaningless hastag totally fails at this.

Were these edits discussed withe the UK community?
