@pza; certainly not. bridge areas are for cosmetic purposes (& help show a single bridge exists when there are multiple carriageways): the bridge tags on roads/paths are, and have always been essential

Reverted.

Once again your "fix" is not a fix, but breaks the mapping.

Do you actually look at the things you change? The tag in_memory might not be widely used (no doubt there is a more popular one), but this does not refer to a war memorial for which memorial:conflict is intended.

If in doubt don't change things. It can make them worse.

This is actually the head office so it would have been appropriate, but my intention was in creating the wiki data item was to support use as brand.

Hi,

It's not actually necessary, or desirable, to add names to paths which make up a route. We have route relations which do the same job.

The reason is that most paths don't have a name, or if they do, it is different from the route name (as when the route goes along a named street). I appreciate you don't see the name on the main map on the OSM site, but there are lots of other places where this is shown (such as Waymarked Trails) which are much better suited for walkers.

Hi Carol,

These could probably do with review now that we have better buildings, as I don't think the archaelogical site tag fits. I noticed them awhile back when looking at node/2255503162. Unfortunately it's now over 30 years since I stayed here, so can't recollect if I noticed other vestiges in the wood. There were Red-throated Divers on the river though.

Where there is an existing building it may be worth following what b-unicycling did for old creameries in Ireland (historic=creamery) and the same principle could apply in other areas where there are old mills such as Lancashire.

I notice the one downstream is a flax mill (I'd rather assumed they were all jute). There were some interesting discussions on traces of flax growing in Brittany at French SotM in 2015 (old retting pits at the corners of fields etc).

In summary, there are plenty of folk interested in this sort of thing and it's worth consolidating tagging approaches.

Regards,

XC Newcastle -> Reading doesn't seem to exist anymore as a through train.

Hi,

I suspect you really want access=destination as access=private will mean that, say, Amazon delivery drivers & visitors won't be routed here.

It's currently marked as a caravan park, but looks more likely to be a mobile home park. If the latter is true changing the area to landuse=residential with residential=mobile_home_park would be better. I notice all the buildings actually have an official property number as well (https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/uprn/#17/51.8962/-2.1329)

HTH,

Had to check why a Quercus was in leaf right now. Should have guessed who (and where) it was being mapped!

127724149

It's better to mark unofficial paths with the following tags: informal=yes, trailblazed=no + appropriate visibility tags, than add a name which does not exist. I also note that most users of Hikr either grade this T3+ or T4 not T5, and that there is part with a cable which should be marked separately.

The traverse Westgrat/Nordgrat or vice versa does seem pretty popular.

Hi,

Thanks for adding this, find it a bit amazing no-one had done it before.

Technically The Kite was bounded by East Road, Maid's Causeway, Parkside, Parker St, and Emmanuel Road (hence the name). The Grafton Centre ripped the heart out of the old area.

Will check a bit on current usage.

I'm pretty sure the Salix is Salix x sepulcralis 'Chrysocosma' aka Golden Weeping Willow. Long yellow twigs. Not present in the public tree list, so suspect this is private land.

39950862

You spelt the species name incorrectly on this values it should by Salix x sepulcralis (extra "r"), and what you have entered is best in the taxon key. The cultivar can be denominated separately by taxon:cultivar=Chrysocoma or 'Chrysocoma'

Forgot to say, I was using these as an example of mobile, but semi-permanent shops.

124201853

Oh, thanks. You could also check with a couple of locals too (Mateusz Konieczny & Włodzimierz Bartczak - Christoffs).

I think the florists shops are a distinct part of the cultural attraction of the Rynek (certainly mentioned on places like TripAdvisor & English wikipedia.

The person who told me about the shops in the 1930s was https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacek_Hennel. I was last in Krakow for his funeral, when I bought a lot of flowers.

124201853

What time of day did you survey? The flower shops would close not long after lunch. These photos were taken in April 2012: https://imgur.com/a/yGisaHX.

On the 30th the Krakow Derby took place so everything closed early (as you can see), but I think 13:30 is about the latest they are open.

124201853

Can you explain why you changed the shop=florist to shop=gift. I find it hard to believe they have changed significantly. I knew people who remembered them in the 1930s and have a picture of my father by them in 1961. I bought flowers here in 2012 & 2014. florist != gift as can be seen by examples around here way/162605465

Has the coffee van by the Hammersmith & City line platforms really moved? Looks to be in wrong place now.

Note sure the Kingsway Kebab van actually has a postcode :-)
