Please dont add amenity=post_box to the boxes used by postmen to store mailbags whilst on their rounds. Post Box must be a place where one can post letters.

Actually data looks OK, but the wikipedia article link is wrong & the wikipedia article looks to be out-of-date.

At least one of these assignments is incorrect Newton data does not apply to the OSM element Newton CP

Hmm, perhaps a comment on the changeset mighthave been more appropriate. I'd have interpreted this as meaning sidewalk=both/left/right. Just removing the tag neither helps the orirignal mapper nor improves overall data quality. Incidentally the road is not strictly a driveway as it gives access to garages

Please don't add generic references for individual POIs to wikipedia. It completely destroys search results. See for example how adding en:Starbucks to one cafe in Japan caused it to swamp other searches for Starbucks. Wikipedia/wikidata refs must be to the same object not a related one.

In this changeset you say you deleted "line with no purpose", but the relevant way marks an embankment which is part of the tram network.

I suspect you want sidewalk=left on this roundabout rather than sidewalk=both

I'm reverting this edit as it is clearly an incorrect representation of the Gloucs Highway document and worsens information for everyone except drivers turning off the A-road

You have removed all tags from this way when as your note says it is only partially closed to motor traffic. You should have merely added motor_vehicle=no to the way. Here's the notce http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/extra/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=64595&p=0

Just discovered your Bordeaux tree import (when I saw trees in Bordeaux I had a sneaky feeling I knew who might have done it).

A couple of notes: specifically about species=Acer saccharinum.

You have placed the cultivar name in the taxon tag. I think best practice is to follow the example of Vienna. The placed the full taxon name "Acer saccharinum 'Laciniatum Wier'" in the taxon tag (species stays as it is) and placed the cultivar name as taxon:cultivar='Laciniatum Wieri'. Note that this cultivar is spelt incorrectly in some of the Bordeaux data.

I shall certainly return to this data & make proper use of it!

Generally no OSM is not a directory of business services, so when websites are provided it should be directly related to the object itself. One of the more useful purposes of website/url tags is to enable other mappers to quickly verify information. A generic McDonald's url adds no information that any person wouldn't know anyway.

I wonder why you removed my note about Manor Road. You have not added any tags regarding access to it, so you removed relevant information. Years ago I had a friend who lived here & it was an unadopted road then, so it ought to have access=destination or access=private as a tag. As I havent visited for 20 years I cant do this myself.

Nice try, but it's in the wrong place: way/320358081#map=19/51.89439/1.48253.

People doing something as geeky as OpenStreetMap can't resist this sort of thing. It's been done before!

I'd put Premier as brand=Premier. It's a trading fascia owned by Booker Group (formerly a buying group IIRC). The shop is likely operated entirely by the folk behind the counter.

You might want to review if all these peaks are really peaks sometime :-)

Thanks for doing this, and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I'm sure there are other changes on the High Street which I havent caught up with. Also Sports Bar on King Street has gone I believe. If you spot more it would be great if you can either put a note on the map or edit them directly.

If something has address info try and keep that info. usual way is either just delete the shop/amenity tag and replace with shop=vacant.

Glad you've not only highlighted problem but worked out how to fix it. For obvious reasons things like this are not stuck out in front of new editors.

One other thing which can be done with these relations is add wikipedia tags of form "wikipedia=en:Mazini Region". These get properly parsed on this website so one can click on them. Mainly this is useful in case other mappers want to check up on a place they're not familiar with: its not meant as dynamic way to look at wikipedia. There are other uses, search uses parameters based on wikipedia articles to weight importance of places & wikidata could be used for things like population.

Nice spot that this wasnt connected to Halifax Way. Must have edited a few times & not noticed.

Does the interpolation way 4-9 for The Cliff still make sense now that Rufford Court is a B&B. Dont think I have any pictures from this area from when I first surveyed it.

Just to add a welcome from another mapper in the Nottingham area. I think the houses N. of Carlton Hill have been added very recently. We've had more mappers living on W & S of city which has meant the buildings have appeared there first. Adding just addresses can be very helpful as these have to checked on the ground, particularly if at street corners as other numbers can then be interpolated. Houses can be drawn in from Aerial Imagery. Like will_p I'm not familiar with OpenMaps for IOS so can't help there.
