In some ways it is tagging for the renderer, but to avoid that you have to make a political decision as to which language should be used.

As a Welshman I am wondering why you chose Wales over Cymru, after all it was previously first.

The wiki should be taken with a large pinch of NaCl. It is intended to document how mappers map and not to dictate to mappers.

How did you decide that English should be the primary language in these areas?

How in a bilingual country did you decide that you removed the wrong name.

Where did you discuss these edits with the community?

Hi
These gardens are not just grass, they contain much more, outbuildings?

The are certainly not a poorly placed rectangle. Why are you making these poor quality inaccurate changes?

Hi
I am wondering what you are trying to achieve with these poorly draw landuse=grass areas? The area is certainly not grass, it is mostly arable farmland with wood and buildings. Some of the farmland is already mapped which you have simply made harder to determine.

Hi
This seems very unlikely. What evidence have you that this exists?

OSM is a map of the world as it exists, not a place to add fictional data.

> There are numerous uncopyrighted sources available all showing the same route.
I have not found one that has your level of detail, You haven't said which you used?

> "Proposals are un-verifiable and do not belong in OSM." .... In that case, surely the proposed tag as a whole shouldn't be recognised? Lots of other proposed schemes (even ones nowhere near as close to fruition as this) are mapped out in OSM data; eg. Lower Thames Crossing.
It could be argued that is of national importance, as was HS2.

> However this is the first I've heard that proposals shouldn't be mapped at all.
The wiki is very clear on highway=proposed.
"Note that generally, OpenStreetMap requires information to be verifiable on the ground. Proposed features that are not visible on the ground should therefore only be mapped in exceptional cases and after a discussion with the relevant OSM community, lest they might be deleted for lack of verifiability."

> It would've been useful for the NWRR route to be available in OSM data (should it be approved), but I suppose it isn't worth debating given it isn't even viewable on any standard map.
Rendering it would have been even more annoying to those who use the map in this area and still want to enjoythe rights of way in this unspoit quiet countryside before it is ruined.

Hi
I am concerned that you have deleted the existing rights of way from this development. Why?

No response. Proposals are un-verifiable and do not belong in OSM. Reverted.

Hi, what is the source of this edit? And of course it probably wont happen given very strong local opposition.

Hi, just wondering what sources you used for this edit, did you actually survey new signage or is it just an armchair guess?


A short stretch of 20mph for a roundabout on the A483 looks odd and actually surveying it does confirm it is odd, the A483 remains at 30 mph. The new 20 mph signs being on the other roundabout exits.


Community consensus was to survey as signs are changed, slower but will produce a better quality map.



You have made a large number of edits all over Wales. I am concerned about how many more of these errors you have made.

Thank you

Hi
This edit seems a bit odd.

Firstly the changeset comment is misleading as it does not touch any roads but more importantly you have deleted a large number of buildings. Why?

You are a bit behind the times, the park authority changed the name to Eryri in February, so the name was correct.

I am therefore reverting this

Or try an app such as streetcomplete which allows you to map whilst looking at the object

Andrew, unfortunately refreshing your memory is an issue according to google terms of use and OSM mapping guidelines. We are a volunteer project and cannot afford to be anything other than squeaky clean.

If you see things when out why not take a photo of them or you can use open data sources such as https://www.mapillary.com/ or bing streetside.

Hi Andrew
Thank you, however using Google Streetview for OSM is against Google's terms of use.

You should not look at it when mapping. Edits involving it should be reverted.

Sorry to be so harsh, but when it comes to sources OSM needs to be skeaky clean.

Doesn't it also sell steaks as suggested by the name?
