| 45199846 | There is indeed no meadow here: maybe a patch of grass in the hall courtyards, in which case landuse=grass, grass=amenity_grassland. However, I have generally avoided mapping grassy areas in the campus as it makes things rather complicated: and as it's a campus grass can be considered a reasonable default. |

| 39973486 | Don't be too wedded to wiki definitions. Often the locality name covers a broader area than just the buildings which have the same name. Sometimes the locality came first, sometimes the buildings. Unless one has detailed research/local knowledge it's not easy to decide & EPNS researchers spend years on such problems. Notwithstanding the wiki and mapping by abc* (often incorrect) use of place=isolated_dwelling is scarcely used in the UK. I would suggest further discussion for a wider audience on talk-gb. |

| 43135040 | Slightly complicated one: Raw Head & the hut across the road aren't really residential areas, but can't think what else can be used to mark them. From a purely financial view they're commercial as the climbing clubs have to pay business rates, but that ain't right either. Perhaps some kind of sub-tag of residential along the lines of tourism. |

| 39973486 | Strongly agree with @SomeoneElse. The place=isolated_dwelling tag is almost always a mistake in Britain. For large distinctive isolated buildings (country houses for instance) adding name to the building is fine, for smaller residences this information belongs in addr:housename. Where an isolated dwelling is an actual topographic name use place=locality. Many 'isolated dwellings' these days are 2-3: say original farm house, the farm bungalow (warmer than former) and old workers cottages may all look to be one site, but the old house is a second home, the bungalow is where the famer lives, and the cottages are holiday lets. They're often hard to disentangle even by survey, so at a minimum a source tag is needed. |

| 45037764 | Thanks it needed a source:name |
|
| 1576227 | Yes, looks to have gone according to OSSV http://os.openstreetmap.org/#zoom=16&lat=53.15099&lon=-0.9938. Cant find my pic of the postbox, but I dont remember anything looking like a former PO. |
|
| 1576227 | I suspect the post office mapped in Eakring (node/426994556) is an error for the post box in almost the same location. I certainly dont recall seeing a post office here in June 2015. |
|
| 44925150 | Thanks, new addresses & postcodes are always very valuable. You might also like to add office=computer_services and maybe draw the building and then you will be more visible. I think we had no aerial imagery when I first mapped the area. |
|
| 8316792 | Very late I know, but: a) what is the source of this data; b) is it documented on the Import list on the wiki; c) was this import discussed on the import mailing list. Quality seems very low. |
|
| 40939628 | Please don't delete ways without checking if they are part of a relation. You broke the boundary of two Irish Vice Counties by deleting way/355190936. These are actively used by Irish botanists & other naturalists. |
|
| 44477784 | This map data is used by millions of people. Please dont mess around with it for 'fun' |
|
| 42931317 | Removed. Turns out it was an accidentally duplicated from the grammar school way even though it doesnt look quite the same. |
|
| 44294298 | No this is not an appropriate classification. Use either amenity=village_hall or amenity=community_centre which are the accepted values for such places in the UK, and have been so for at least 6-7 years. |
|
| 43920440 | Using Google Maps violates Google's terms of service & also violates the Contributor Agreement & OpenStreetMap's T&C. Please stop. Your work is likely to be entirely removed (redacted). |
|
| 44032561 | Thanks. (I think some Aldi's have this as a 'strapline', but dont recall seeing it in UK). Only picked this up because I was trying to pull all Aldi's in UK & noticed one I know was missing. |
|
| 44032561 | Is there any reason why you changed the name from Aldi to Aldi foodstore. Last time I went past it still was called just "Aldi" |
|
| 31281939 | Yeah was looking for examples 'cos Alex Kemp has been doing exactly that (tagging as post boxes) & I thought such an approach needed to nipped in the bud smartish. Having an alternative tag certainly helps & I think this is perfectly self-explanatory. |
|
| 43595179 | Are you sure these roads are residential. The quarry closed 1982 & in the standard imagery all housing has been demolished here. I doubt if anyone wants to live on a toxic quarry site. |
|
| 31281939 | Seems there's a typo on postal_distribution_box in this changeset. I presume it refers to one of these: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/FGbTbtxfIJfPmfOvAdiE5w |
|
| 43502359 | Adding erroneous info the tag amenity=post_box is indeed wrong. Positive action is "dont do it again" & "delete the erroneous tag" & then we wont get a) someone posting notes about it; and b) someone wont use it to post a letter. It's not my job to find suitable tags for things I dont map. |
