There also are places where what is on Sustrans' own maps is "just wrong" - it doesn't match the signage placed by Sustrans volunteers and it doesn't match the route that a cyclist would actually take there. There was an attempt by a Sustrans volunteer to correct some of these - see this from February this year: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2023-February/030104.html (Ian Dent is a Sustrans volunteer from around Derby, he's popped into some of the virtual OSM East Midlands meetings we've had).

One other thing to bear in mind is that since https://www.sustrans.org.uk/about-us/paths-for-everyone/ Sustrans have removed some "on fast road" routes from their national network, so there may be some gaps - although (looking at Sustrans' own maps, which unfortunately I don't think are licence-compatible with OSM) there don't appear to be any such gaps in Aberdeen.

With National cycle routes, I tend to update them to show where the signage actually points, or (if that is "obviously wrong") where a sensible cyclist who is following the route would go. From looking at relation/254838#map=18/57.15397/-2.10009 , as a non-local I don't think I can really help, except to say that there are plenty of places where (say) northbound traffic goes one way and southbound traffic another.

Thanks! Incidentally, you can use http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeRelation?relationId=254838 and http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeMap?relationId=254838 to investigate the current state for odd spurs, etc.

Hello,
I just wondered if all of way/285805799 was really private? There's a public footpath joining it from the north, and currently a gap in the Colne Valley Path relation/10800125#map=19/51.89946/0.87383 - maybe the easter part of it isn't private?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
A quick question about National Cycle Route 1 here relation/254838#map=16/57.1801/-2.1680 - do you know if it goes round to the south of Riverside Quarter as well as round to the north?
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks

Re relation/12307853 , I've walked or drive most of it and have never seen a sign, hence "name:signed=no".

See https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/edit-warring-over-nagorno-karabakh-region-republic/57413/14 and below

What you see in the "standard" map layer at openstreetmap.org is only a tiny subset of the actual tags stored in the OSM database. Other maps may show names from "name:language" tags based on either the area of the map being viewed or the location of the user or the user's preferred language (in an app or browser). Different other maps may use wikidata / wikipedia to obtain names in languages not even in OSM.

This revert was done because there was no engagement following osm.org/user_blocks/15116 and previous messages. I'm sure that there will need to be changes here (for example, I doubt that relation/11905591 exists in the same way as before), but we need to discuss about the best way of handling boundary changes and name changes.
See below https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/edit-warring-over-nagorno-karabakh-region-republic/57413/14 for discussion.
There is more tidying of broken admin boundaries to be done (broken by various editors) such as relation/11905590 .

Thanks for mapping the missing bits of this!
One question - does the bit from the station at relation/3318993#map=15/51.9837/0.2158 join up with the pieces to the north?

Hello AzerAkhundov,
Please use changeset comments that are a bit more informative than simply "road"!
Best Regards,
Andy

By "the map" I'm guessing you're referring to the one on openstreetmap.org listed as "standard" (see e.g. osm.wiki/Featured_tile_layers ).
However, there are many other maps created with OSM data, and things such as OsmAnd will likely take your preferred language into consideration before showing you map labels.

Re "But which one will appear on the map" it depends on the map, and (depending on the map) may depend on the language that you have your browser or phone set to.

Hello Barkev Sargisian,

Rather than continuing with piecemeal name changes, please discuss them with the rest of the community at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/edit-warring-over-nagorno-karabakh-region-republic/57413/14 .

Hello AzerAkhundov,

You have written "Second thing is the rules of Openstreetmap. According to the rules, names should be in language of those who currentlly control area.". This is categorically not the case. The OSMF policy on such things can be found at https://osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf . The people in the area do not suddenly refer to mountain peaks by other names just because one country's tanks are currently in the area.
I would actually expect here that there would be multiple name tags - name:az for Azerbaijani, name:hy for Armenian, perhaps even name:ru to reflect a Russian name due to the extensive period in the Russian empire from the 1800s. The "name" tag will usually match one of the name:language tags - whatever people locally call it.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.
