| 107914292 | All the public_transport=platform makes no sense in Jersey. They're mere bus stops. The only place that there are platforms is at the bus station (or possibly a major terminus). |

| 105627375 | Possible retagging:
Use (deleted) PoI node to mark entrance. |

| 118464302 | Apparently, way/1040176069 is also sharing a node with multiple highways (I very much doubt that the area extends to the centre-line of the road). |

| 118467720 | “Source: Local knowledge” Then please ensure that the appropriate tag is populated in your changesets. Part of the point of the metadata is to help other mappers. Changes must also be from acceptable sources, and verifiable. |

| 118467720 | “I have seen a couple of your comments but they come through as several emails.” That's down to how you have your account configured. e-postcards are essentially just notifications.
“Are you an OSM moderator or just an enthusiast” Relevance?
Review is an essential part of OSM. Changes are to be verifiable (and of quality). No need to make it personal.
Engaging with the community it also a requirement. “you are coming across as quite authoritarian and rude rather than helpful.” I'm sorry that you feel that way and choose to interpret my on-topic comments in that light. Facts trump feels, though. Your choice of descriptors is most revealing, besides insulting. Ignoring the likes of questions (which is the first response to questionable changes) isn't constructive, coöperative, helpful, or respectful. Work lacking quality & care is certainly not constructive. Am I to take it, if you're unwilling to engage, that you would rather I simply revert dubious sets, instead of giving the courtesy of benefit-of-the-doubt (etc.)? If you object to my no-nonsense delivery, and concern for quality, then you'll definitely not like the bluntness of several members of the Data Working Group (who have even less tolerance for dubious changes; often mass-reverting, and imposing sanctions (e.g. blocking offending accounts from editing (usually temporarily) especially for persistence and/or not responding). I can't blame them; the integrity of the map matters, and they (as unpaid volunteers) don't have all day to tip-toe around every user. I suggest that you check your assumptions, instead of flinging accusations of character. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I get along just fine with most others. You'll also find that in OSM (like any other technical project), the most talented, experienced, and involved, tend to have a similar no-BS mindset, and care about quality & facts over fuzzy feels.
Ultimately; everyone's different, you don't have to like me, but that's not an excuse to ignore valid questions, points, review, etc. “I’d appreciate if you were constructive rather than sarcastic” Another false-dichotomy; one can be both. Though, I wasn't being sarcastic, and was being constructive (hence asking, explaining, pointing to relevant documentation, standards, guidelines, conventions, and otherwise reviewing your changesets when there are clear known-problems).
I'm sorry that you interpret my phrasing as sarcastic (though, textual channels aren't the clearest, for such things), or otherwise don't like what you perceive to be my delivery / style / ‘tone’, and focus on that instead of the substance of my words and address the points raised. I wish (and would greatly appreciate, and be most receptive, if) you would address my (other) questions, points, and willingly correct the identified errors. It would be basic courtesy & civility. I wish you'd be more concerned with facts & quality, and have due care for the work of others. As the island's lone surveyor (something sorely needed), when surveying takes rather longer than armchair editing, to have diligent work disregarded (or discarded) does make me wonder if it's worth bothering. But, that's probably why Jersey hasn't received much attention (other than from drive-by mappers) in OSM. “for that reason have been listening to your feedback but choosing to directly converse with you as little as possible.” I could say much about this, but it would be a distraction from what's important. Disliking the message, or messenger, doesn't change the facts or relevant points. Being intolerant, while judging (if not projecting upon) others, doesn't sit well. OSM isn't fun & games. Quality matters. If you're not interested in that, then it's disappointing. |

| 118464302 | Re way/1040176071 (toilets) unisex=* is ambiguous (see the wiki). Particularly since the men's & women's is separate, then male=yes & female=yes (or, possibly (fe)male=designated though I'd want to check taginfo first) would've been clearer. Assuming that it hosts only toilets, then reusing node/1783467293 may have been sensible in this case. But, better safe than sorry 😉, in which case simply tagging the outline as building=toilets, while leaving the PoI node in place, would be entirely valid. Often (in my experience, surveying), toilet buildings also host man_made=pumping_station , in which case it's misleading to tag the entire building as amenity=toilets (and possibly building=toilets, as well (instead, just the unassuming building=yes)). I'll add this to my list of surveying targets, to check what's actually there. Though, it may be a while; lots of other things to survey, first. |

man_made=beehive makes clear that only nodes should have this tag (as in, individual hives).
Tagging conventions exist for good reasons (they have to make sense to software). Documentation is your friend; please RTFM. |
