Thanks for adding yourself to OpenStreetMap. I dont recall any 1 storey buildings located precisely in this area, nor can I see them in aerial photos. I would have last surveyed here around March 2013. I notice that there are numerous other tenants located in Ayr Street Workshops, and that the postcode centroid is located over the 3-4 storey former mill/factory building adjacent to this site. If this the location then perhaps you are better mapped as a node in that building. The building I mean is on the LHS of this photo http://openstreetview.org/available/935d58529b544208c4d3a3067f1bf58e7f703cb3-large.jpg

I would just like to add that deleting 'dangerous' paths is not an activity of which I approve. Accurately tagging such paths yes, deleting information about something which exists Working to render paths which are not suitable for the ordinary pedestrian would also be helpful. There is a whole comment thread on this point on Github: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1500.

I see that you are a relatively inexperienced contributor and might not be fully aware of OSM's ethos: if it's verifiable on the ground it can be mapped.

Also consider that roads with cars generally are much more dangerous for pedestrians: would you delete these too!

You deleted a lot of data in this edit, at least some of which appears to be valid. You may have wished to remove some things shown on the main OSM map, for a map needed for your own purposes. In which case you were probably unaware that in doing so you removed data shared by everyone.

We will most likely revert your edits to restore all this lost data, but would appreciate some idea of what you intended.

Yes, do please. As most of the edits were shops I wouldn't have guessed exactly what it was immediately.

Fixed

A direct link would really help instead of having either a) to cut-and-paste the value, or b) step through the edited nodes. In fact I can guess fairly straightforwardly that this should be highway=asl and that the key 'b' should have added source=Bing.

As you haven't been in touch. I have now reverted all your edits. This is done to avoid having to reinstate all the previously existing data by hand. As you might imagine this involves contributions by several people over the years.

Hi, You seem to have deleted from OpenStreetMap many of the main points of interest in Inverary. I imagine this is because you thought you were editing a private copy of the data. You weren't, so now no-one using OSM worldwide can find features such as Inverary Jail, or even the place itself.

Please respond speedily to this message letting us now what you intended.

You need to stick a building=yes tag on this for it to show up.

You seem to have deleted lots of roads in King's Heath. I'm sure this was either by accident, or because you are not aware that edits on OSM affect everyone. This note is just to let you know that I am undoing this edit.

I should add another reason for adding sources & using OSM tools is that it is far faster for other mappers to check that a change is reasonable.

Because the precise source isn't clear. It does clearly state it contains Royal Mail data (CodePoint Open) which is inadmissable for OSM. As I state above, volunteers from OSM have gone to a great deal of trouble to create tools to help in situations like this: such tools we know to be clean and designed to avoid potential copyright problems. Therefore please use them and not some other website which might or might not provide the same data.

OK I've now reverted it, and re-added the name from Ordnance Survey StreetView OpenData. This may have been the source on Streetview, but I would strongly suggest using OSM-based tools & facilities for such things. We have tiles of OS Streetview, missing roads (OS Locator), and OSLocator Musical Chairs (this road here http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=956185).

Normally I dont trust OS data on its own now. We have so few missing roads that its only newly built ones which I use without other sources. In your case you presumably have a Mapbox error report, so that sort of counts (one can never be sure someone isnt looking at a copyright map).

This is an inadmissible data source It contains copyright information. I'm afraid I have to revert this change.

Can you please use source tags on ways & changesets. You have added Tong Moor Side as a name after another one of your MapBox colleagues added a note about it. However Bing imagery gives no clues about the name. Neither of you are local mappers, so I would like to know the basis for changing the name.

Yeah, I think SomeoneElse & others have pointed out that there are buses with no routes other than the stops need to be visited in order.

Thanks. It is right now. 'Cos the Circle line was messed up yesterday I ended up boarding this at Euston Square. At some stage will load photos from top deck between Euston & Stoke Newington. I like adding stops to relations, but stop positions are IMO a waste of time (not least because there might be 2-3 bus at a time).

I have a feeling that route 73 goes into the bus station area in front of Euston Station on the Vic->Stoke N direction

In this changeset you have added a place=neighbourhood of New Egham. This has recently been queried in an OSM Note. Certainly if asked I would have assumed this was part of Englefield Green, just as is shown on OS StreetView. I wonder what evidence you have for this name: I am aware that many of your additions come from OS StreetView or 1:25k maps, but this name does not feature on them.

Fine, I agree the tagging could do with improving. I suspect adding fitness_centre was a quick fix in order to be able to remove the descriptive name. In this case it would have been far better just to add a note rather than change the tagging: we're quite able to improve stuff if its brought to our attention. I would also add this is something where tagging is still in a bit of flux, perhaps because not so many have been mapped. They are appearing all over the place and the tagging will become better established soon.
