Hi mapboy63,
I've just moved the elements in question to city:Cheadle.
My remote approach had flaws, so I stopped these modifications a while ago. However, we have a large number of inconsistencies in addresses all over the UK. I'm working on an export to highlight and present them on talk:gb. But it may take a while until I'm ready.
Kind regards

You are right, thanks for highlighting this. I followed the majority of what was previously tagged. Give me a few days until I'm back at my laptop and I will fix this.

I want to add, that I only act remotely if it only affects a small number of objects (smaller than 10ish) or there is a (very) clear majority for the combination outlined in the wiki

I followed wiki guidance: osm.wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom
In this particular case, the [city][suburb] combination already existed twice in the database. Hence I 'found' it in the first place.

I'm trying to 'communise' concurrent variations of [addr:city], [addr:suburb], [addr:village],[addr:place] into [addr:city][addr:suburb] where city is a UK posttown, if this is the dominant variation.

According to the post code that pub is in Sheriff Hutton = suburb of its postal town York = city. Which seems about right when I look at the map

Hi,
thanks for the heads-up. I came across that page yesterday. I've stopped adding addr:country yesterday afternoon. The Josm address preset makes it look like a desirable tag. (labelled optional though).
re addr:county, this was to 'preserve' what was incorrectly included in addr:city. I agree that this is somewhat redundant and had not planned to use it anymore going forward.

Sorry for not getting back earlier. Seems like you've already split the overlaying ways.
Happy mapping!

Hi txemt, this is to connect the rivers and streams that drain into the lake with the outlet to achieve a connected system of water flows. Waterway=fairway might not be the right tag, feel free to improve with your local knowledge.
I'm open to further discussion,
cheers, Marc

from the wiki:
"selling products like [...] snacks and beverages." check
"little stand-alone pavillon (sic) so small that customers cannot enter" check
"inside [...] train stations" check
from your blogpost:
"a kiosk can generally be recognised as a place where goods (or services) are sold through a hatch, or over a counter; and where there is no entrance for customers" check
From your comment:
"Thus coffee kiosks need a different tag."
coffee=yes
snacks=yes
To me the current tagging still doesn't seem unsuitable, you may want to add newspapers=no or similar.
As you mention in your blogpost, there is a dedicated tag shop=newsagent for newsagents.
Regards from someone born in kiosk-country ;)

Hi SK53
I think kiosk reflects pretty well what it is, a pure to-go outlet with no seating or so - compare the pics for cafe and kiosk on the wiki.
Even on their own website they refer to themselves as a kiosk - well "not just a kiosk" but a somewhat glorified version of one.
But feel free to change the tagging. my visit was 3 years ago and things might have changed. This is OSM and I have left the area anyways.

Happy mapping :)

just a note: waterways in OSM should have the same flow direction as the actual river. In this changeset it was not always the case. Fixed it

Es sieht aus, als wenn du aus Versehen die Strasse mit rechtwinklig gemacht hast, es muessten also "nur" die nodes wieder zurueck wo sie herkamen.
So ischs halt, passiert manchmal

Deine Aenderung der Sophie-Scholl-Strasse sieht mir nicht korrekt aus

Hi Peter,

indeed, this tagging does not look ideal. It seems at the time the restaurant was not operating anymore. However that was 10 months ago, so I personally would be reluctant to make any changes without revisiting. Unfortunately, I have left the area.

Thanks for highlighting this. I've tried again to fix the waterway without touching your admins: changeset/101834647

For small change sets only covering Germany comments in German are perfectly fine, of course :)
I'd also recommend to split change sets by location.
Ansonsten, Willkommen und frohes Mappen :)
