way/1447622966

Was this meant to be highway=services or highway=service? surface=path is also questionable.

178084066

Was this intentional? I can't see it on Esri.

way/1474096525

If it was, it should probably be highway=service. If it wasn't, it should be removed.

174313063

JOSM actively complains about `area` being added to these so it does cause some confusion there.

I've argued services and rest_area should be added to osm2pgsql example configs to try and raise awareness there too. It didn't really go anywhere.

174313063

I find this a bit questionable, highway=services has always been a polygon. Same with highway=rest_area. highway=bus_stop and highway=stop have always been points.

I know this is an issue with some software (including osm2pgsql example config) but I don't think it's a data issue.

This changeset seems to have added bus stops where someone else has half removed them.

Eg
node/2250383125
node/13285042217

Are these OK to be merged?

This is so long ago I can't remember the details, but it does look like FSA still have "Marshcombe Shute", so I probably copied it from there.

FSA was one of the only source we could use for addresses, it is self reported by the venue and the data is released under the OGL.

"Postcode look-up" probably isn't a source we can use for OSM, depending on what exactly you mean.

Recently the council has released council addresses under the OGL, so we can use them as a source for OSM too. The council has (the residential address) as: "Accommodation At, Yarbridge Inn, Yarbridge, Brading, Sandown, Isle Of Wight, PO36 0AA"

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/current_list_of_assigned_council

So yeah, I'd now call this:
addr:housename=Yarbridge Inn
addr:street=Yarbridge
addr:suburb=Brading
addr:city=Sandown
addr:county=Isle of Wight
addr:country=GB

I expect the southmost one (node/10083312695#map=19/50.623826/-1.174582&layers=N) will be accessable again in summer, but we will see.

178407345

tag war?

177611265

brand:wikidata without brand?

177532493

What does commercial=office mean? Is it a child of building=commercial or office=company? It has no wiki page and minimal usage.

159016584

Oh, I thought I looked at the history. Must have clicked the wrong changeset, thanks.

159016584

Presumably currency:EUR=yes is a mistake here?

175239847

I strongly believe we should be adding the UPRN to what it represents, if it's a street record it should be in the street (highway)=*

175239847

Jez can't remember much about that quote, but believed the UPRNs applied to the junction, not a street

157685591

way/1322683929#map=19/50.716915/-1.123994&layers=N being a public footpath seems questionable, last time I was there, there was a big, permanent gate.

175239847

I've asked Jez about when/why he added the "OR at a single point on the road" part, I'll see what he says. There was a Talk GB thread at the time for some context.

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2020-November/025400.html

I would still not add UPRNs when we don't know what they are for.

175239847

I'm not familiar with either a single node or all nodes, they both seem awful. Imagine doing it to a building. When you say "more discussion", does that mean there has been some, please could I have a link?

I have a strong preference for only adding UPRNs when we have a strong suspension we know what it's for. When we suspect it's for a road, it should be added to a road, when we suspect it's an address, it should be added to an address. Otherwise what value is adding them to OSM in the first place?

175239847

Hey, you seem to be adding UPRNs to nodes in roads (eg node/12522396301) however if it's a road record it should be assigned to the road (probably way/61430885) if it's not a road record, it should have a category or address tagged

Whats the diffence between amenity=townhall and amenity=community_centre+community_centre=village_hall?

Rob has been significantly involved in the proposals for charging stations, working with operators and Open Data specs, I see no proposals for man_made=charging_station.
