Copying from the website is a breach of copyright, we must not do this. The website conditions clearly state that you can use the information for 'your personal use only'.
I am reverting this changeset.

The strength of OSM is local mappers exploring and surveying their local area and sharing that information.

Please continue to map, but please do not simply copy from websites or other maps.

Hi, just wondering what the source of this edit is?
Have you been there in order to confirm that it is wheelchair accessible, has wifi, does takeaways or accepts reservations?

Kegworth has always had Derby postcodes (as has Castle Donnington), LE12 is rural Loughborough.
Some years back I spent a lot of time carving out which Derby postcodes were in North West Leicestershire.

The way is tagged as a path, which implies that it is too narrow for a car so car routing is not an issue. No router should send a car along a path.
You can however add foot=yes/bicycle=yes/horse=yes.

Bore da Habiloid
Diolch/thank you for your edit.
You do need to add tags to describe what the objects you are adding are, in this case you need to add shop=butchers. Also the word butchers is unlikely to appear in the name.

Access=no seems to have been left from the previous bridge, this should be removed as I am sure the ford is not legally closed.

I have been using operator for different co-op societies.
The distinction has become important, in the past the societies have kept to their areas. My area is Mid-Counties however recently The Co-operative Group have been setting up in the area, the cashiers will refuse dividend cards from other societies so when choosing a co-op it is important to be able to select the right operator.

Hi, this is a motorway service area. It is a little unlikely that there will be supermarket here. The mapper who added this will have mapped what they saw.
Please do not take the name suggestion index literally as this devalues the contributions of local mappers.

Hi, some of the mistakes you that this a mechanical edit in an area where you have no local knowledge of the changes that you are making and are just guessing based on the name suggestion index. This is not OK. OpenStreetMap is a map created by local knowledge; if you just add guesses then you are devaluing the hard work of all the other mappers who have contributed to OSM.

For example you have added wikidata tags for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_Corporation to the Tesco petrol station, which is clearly an error. Especially since you managed to add the correct tags to the corresponding supermarket.

You have changed the cuisine for Frankie and Bennie's to cuisine=italian, this is clearly wrong to anyone who has visited one. The wikipedia page you added clearly says that it is a chain of Italian-American-themed restaurants.

This Greggs is a cafe, it has seating and you can sit inside and drink coffee. Some outlets are fast food but nobody considers Greggs a bakery.

The name suggestion index is still in its infancy, there are a lot of errors and it relies on mappers with local knowledge to look at these suggestions and get them corrected. They are certainly not ready for blind armchair edits.

Hi, please could you spit your changes into sensible areas. This has changes in both France and UK, such a large area makes it difficult for mappers to spot changes in their areas.

Hi Tim, when adding brand:wikipedia tags in countries where the language is not English, would it not be more respectful to be pointing at the wikipedia page for that language, rather than English?

Thank you, I will restore the tags.

Hi, just wondering why have you removed the bus stop tag from node/486589512/history ?
It now looks a very odd as the NAPTAN tags are still present, how did you confirm that it is no longer a bus stop?
Also please keep your edits to sensible area, this edit covers both the US and UK hence its bounding box covers a very large area.

These areas are still construction, so have fixed them.

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Thank you for your edit however you also removed the existing building tag from way/170577326.
I have restored it.

Hi, welcome to OSM.
In OSM we map what exists on the ground, there is no single large building here and there has never bee a petrol station.

Please only add what both exists and is verifiable.

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.
When using tools such as maproulette it is important not to take their suggestions too literally.
You have added wikidata tags for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_Corporation to the Tesco petrol station, which is clearly an error. Especially since you managed to add the correct tags to the corresponding supermarket.
Also please do not override tags that have been added by local mappers. Most Subway outlets are fast food, however this one is different and was correctly tagged as cafe.

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.

This is not a public residential road, but a private driveway. Please could you correct it.

Oneway=yes is redundant on roundabouts, junction=roundabout implies that. However oneway=yes is neither wrong, nor harmful. A changeset that simply removes that tag is pointless and should be avoided unless some other change which adds value is being carried out,
