Hi John, I would like to welcome you to OpenStreetMap and say that I've been very impressed by the quality of the changes you've been making.

My only comment is that it would be really useful if you could fill in some changeset comments to give some context to what you're doing. My General suggestion would be to to say what you've changes and why you've made the change.

Thanks Chris.

Hi, First of all I would like to say welcome to Openstreetmap. It's allways great to have new mappers.

I just have a few small comments on some of the Edit's you have made, just as a quick look one of the things you have done is to delete exisiting paths/roads and create new paths/roads with different tags.

Normally we recommend modifying existing elements rather than deleting and creating new ones, this way it's much easier to track changes over time.

Also I noticed that you've changed some of the footways to paths, Normally in towns footways are are the correct designation see the tagging page at highway=*?uselang=en-GB rather than paths.

Let me know if you have any questions, and keep mapping!

Thanks for the note and edit, it's great to see new Editors. please let me know if you have any questions.

One thing that I'm wondering, is that if this recycling point is permanently closed, then it's probably okay to delete the recycling point.

Hi it would be useful to see a description of the changes made. I guessing this was the old location of Transgression Park?

Also if the building still exists we would normally keep it and just remove the tags?

No problem - it's good info to have in openstreetmap! My suggestion would be to tag appropriately, then use various tools to display this info. There are a few options, if you're interested.

Hi, first can I say welcome to OpenStreetMap, it's always great to see new Editors.

I was just wondering about this edit, I can see that you have added a brand new way, with a landuse of residential.

Now I've not been past this way for a while, but my understanding is that this is still fields and is currently under consultation for housing development.

I would be tempted to add a tag of something link proposed=residential to the existing fields, we can then track the changes to refelect the current state on the ground.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers
Chris

Great, thanks for sorting.

Trying to work out the reason why the access=private tag was added to the Merchiston and Greenhill, Protected Area? - osm.org/browse/way/236957644

It's great to have these all added to the map. I'm wondering if they should be a node on the actual way that they're monitoring?

Thanks for letting me know. Agree that there is a path here. I'll drop the name and survey tag and change it to footway. I'll also add a note for someone local to see where the path goes.

Hi, I just want to check what the source is for this change?

It does look to me like there is something here. Possibly a service road and/or a foot way connecting to Tantallon Gardens?

But looking at the Old Ordinance Survey maps it doesn't look like a continuation of Dressilrigg Lane.

Have you reached a conclusion on a good way to do this?

Other options might just be to have a single building relation convering all the individual parts of the building with a name, rather than a node?

lol - actual thing that made me go and check was this tweet: https://twitter.com/neilinglis/status/562915655507542016

There is one additional step that needs to be done, and that's removing the tags from the outer, so that just the relation is tagged....

I have restored the woods.

Hi, it looks like this changeset deleted the woodlands from Corstorphine Hill?

You beat me to it!

Great spot. I'm wondering if there is a further edit that can/should be made to change the surrounding Brownfield landuse tag to something more appropriate such as commercial.

I think you're going to have to try MUCH harder to get into WorstofOSM :)

Agree that this looks slightly odd, I drove past here a couple of nights ago and didn't notice that the A92 was closed from here. I've also checked the Traffic Scotland website and that hasn't given any indication that the road is closed. So it would be great to confirm the source of this change as quickly as possible.
