Hi Martin
I forgot to say we do not have permission to use g.maps so please do not look at it, use it to check something, use it to illustrate something. Mapping must be done from what you have seen by being there, imagery we have permission to use, and out of copyright maps and information.

Please do not tag for the render, a park should only be used for area that are really parks. Mapping is not about making something appear a particular colour on one particular renderer. If I had brought my grandkids here because OSM says there is a park then they and I will be pretty pissed off.
From your description this should more likely be landuseor or landcover=scub.

Cheers Phil

Hi Martin, is way/502622232 really a park?
It looks a very odd place for a park, and aerial imagery suggests it isn't.
Also it is bad practice to join areas such as this to the centreline of roads. The area will end at the edge and should be mapped as such.
Cheers Phil

Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I have tidied the building to match its outline and removed the operator tag, booking.com are not the operator.
I have also removed the word English from the description, the owners may not be best pleased to hear their breakfast described as English. Maybe Welsh, but only if it includes lavabread.
Cheers Phil

Hi Martin
OSM is primarily a geographic database which can be rendered in many different styles. What you see on the main page is a few styles but anybody can set up a renderer and define their own.
The reason for the different tagging is for different uses is years of consensus among the community. We are an international community and things are not always tagged as they would be if we were a UK project. We are not Ordnance Survey and we are not trying to replicate their style. Mapping the SVR as preseved allows other renderers, public transport apps to distingush it from true public transport.
This should be put back to what it is, I appreciate there is an issue in the mapnik rendering, the Transport Map does get it right. But the correct approach is to suggest improvements and get that fixed, or find a different renderer.
Cheers Phil

Hi Martin
Thank you for your reply.
Firstly please remember that OSM is primarily a database, which is rendered in many different ways and you seem be changing the tagging to overcome a problem that exists with just one of many renderers. That is called 'tagging for the renderer' which should not be done. If there is a bug in a particular renderer it should be reported to those responsible. In this case OSM Carto on github.
Also please do not take the wording of tags too literally, the wiki states that railway=preserved is 'A railway running historic trains, usually a tourist attraction. They are usually privately owned, preserved and run for railway heritage and/or profit, not necessarily providing a meaningful public transportation service.' This fits the Severn Valley perfectly.
By tagging this object as railway=rail you are implying that it is a public rail service, national rail and this will have a knock on effect to other use cases beyond your own.
Thanks Phil

Hi Martin, just wondering why you have changed The Severn Valley from railway=preserved to railway=rail?
It was a perserved railway last time I was there.
Cheers Phil

Hi Andy, I have a few concerns about these edits.
You have changed this way from a track to unclassified and included the surface=unpaved, in the UK it is reasonable to expect an unclassified road to be surfaced, I believe that unless it has been surfaced it should have been left as a track.
What is the source of U3064? These are internal references for the local council and are never signed. As such they should be put into the official_ref tag to avoid giving confusing information to non-specialist map users.
Cheers Phil

Thanks Russ

Hi, this edit appears to have quite a bit of serious mistagging that could inconvienience other map users.
Travis Perkins is a builders merchant, not an outdoor shop.
Western Power Distribution is not an electronics shop, probably tag it as office=company, its not somewhere the public will normally visit.
It is unlikely that the Garden Centre is called Garden Centre, if it doesn't have a name leave it blank and it should be shop=garden_centre.
Please add phone numbers in full.
Thanks Phil

Hi Jan
Sorry, I will see if I can work it out.

Cheers Phil

Hi, this gate looks a little wrong as it has 3 ways connecting to it. It needs to be separate from the junction otherwise it is impossible to tell which routes pass through the gate,
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your contribution but please could you keep changes to sensible areas as it makes it very difficult for otheer mapper to review changes.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. This changeset has gone a little wrong. You have made a classic beginner error of using the name field as a description. The name should only be use when an object has a name, I don't think this is called 'Detatched houses'.
Also for mapbox imagery I can see that this should be mappaed as multiple buildings, not a single one as you have mapped. Please fix this, but if you need any help please ask.

Hi, welcome to OSM. You seem to have changed several recreation grounds to parks, objects should be mapped as what they are and these are different things.

Is there really a bar. in the middle of the road and in what is clearly a residential area.
I somehow doubt it, reverted.

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?

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