I have removed the wikidata tags from the statue of Charles Darwin and the bust of Mary Webb.
I had linked to wikipedia sections on commemerations, not to articles about the person. The wikdata refers to the person, which is not correct in this case.

Hi, what on the ground evidence do you have that Watling Street is in modern usage on for example way/5061100 ? have you been there and seen a sign?

Adding names that do not exist on the ground is very misleading to map users, would the residents of Frodesley who live along this road give their address as Watling Street?

Hi, what is the source of Telford Estate, those who live there say they live in Monkmoor.

Hi, the names you are adding appear to be transliterations which should not be added to OSM. See osm.wiki/Names#Avoid_transliteration

Last time I was in Telford or Wellington there were certainly no Russian Names on the signs.

This edit should be reverted.

Hi, this edit looks a bit odd. Costa is not normally an internet cafe, in fact I have never heard of them providing computers. I would also expect it to be in a building rather than the road.

Hi, has the car park been built on?
If so then it would be better to delete it as the area was already residential and you now have a residential polygon with another residential polygon.

Hi, I assume this should be Bill's Bar rather than Bill's Bar Bar?

Hi, the correct way to tag a closed pub is to change the amenity tag to disused:amenity=pub. I would leave the name in place if it is still visible.

Power league is a very odd surface, I assume it should be in name?

Hi
In OSM we have a rule of one feature, one object in OSM. See osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element
There is only one hospital, so different departments should not have an amenity-hospital tag.
Please remember that OSM is a geographic database, so please do not map to make it look neater in one of many renderers.
Thanks Phil

Thank you for fixing the spelling.

I am removing the address information, I am not certain that the address is correct as it moved and that number doesn't seem right, and a bit pointless as retail places rarely display a number.
The website you quoted clearly says that it is copyright so you should not have copied the postcode.
I would prefer to leave the shop as candy, as that expresses what it is. It is where I go to get my candy
At the time I mapped it, there were lot of shop=candy, but I guess they have been armchaired away making the database clean but loosing real world expression.
Cheers Phil

Also what is the source you used to find the postcode?

52181464 over 8 years ago

Hi, please could you explain why you made this change?
OSM has a system of free tagging which allows mappers to express what they see, and survey regularly, on the ground. The aim is not database purity.
The word candy was chosen to express what is sold there.

Hi, the website should refer to the object you are mapping and should not be the company's website.

Hi, The Range is normally tagged as shop=variety, tagging it as doityourself is very misleading.

52089260 over 8 years ago

Hi, I don't think this is an actual shop. It should be tagged as office=company as they only sell online.
