37061997

Could do, though I'd be working during the day so it'd have to be a Saturday. There's also osm.wiki/Nottingham/Pub_Meetup in just over a week in Derby - I should be going to that.

Sure - please do!

... but an "invalid" tag is a really useful indication that some more survey is needed at a particular place. Please don't just remove tags that your program doesn't understand; you're removing information that can be used to improve the map.

Actually, previously way/376692976/history was "building=church" and way/376692974/history didn't have a building tag at all. However part of that is building, though not as far as the car park, and I'm not sure if the L-shaped bit is/was part of the old church or not.

Hi,
Somehow this also managed to add some buildings into the middle of the Atlantic. I've deleted them too.

Hi,
Thanks for fixing these - there were a few other things added in the same changeset that I removed in changeset/37090388

Best Regards,

Hi,
You've removed the "natural=water" tag from way/355368615/history#map=18/53.11561/-1.41020 but what actually is it? Rather than just removing a tag did you ask the previous mapper or look at other golf water hazards?
It is just down the road from me so if you were to add an OSM note it would get looked at over the summer :)

Hi,
The area of this changeset is huge - it'll appear in the history list of everyone on the planet. Would it perhaps be possible to make changes in smaller areas, so that people can see only the changes local to them?

Also, "source=me" doesn't really explain how you knew the changes to make - did you visit all of the places in this changeset, or use some sort of aerial imagery, and if so which one?

Best Regards,
Andy

Has the building that is "So" really been demolished? It's possible, but seems unlikely...

way/376692976/history

Personally, I wish people wouldn't make changes that might make spam data look valid; it makes it harder to check for (either by humans or machine) afterwards.

36957898

Well we can't use Google Streetview; obviously :)

The danger with updating data without checking it for validity is that it'll look more recently updated than it actually is. I would be very surprised if anyone would object to a mechanical edit of cell_phone to mobile_phone, but it's just common courtesy to let people know that you're going to do it, so that they can change any processes that consume OSM data. You also need to sanity check all the data that you're changing, so that any obviously invalid data can be found. There's a wider discussion of this sort of issue at osm.wiki/What's_the_problem_with_mechanical_edits%3F .

36957898

Er - do you really think that there is still an active "phones4u" shop in the Strand? It seems unlikely - see http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/dec/23/phones4u-hundreds-stores-are-empty-a-year-after-collapse .

Although as the above article points out a fair few of them were on long leases and are still branded, it'll need a proper on-the-ground survey to find out which. If you haven't done that I'd suggest leaving a note that than editing problematical data.

36911590

Can you explain what "fixed names" means here?

Note that changing the "name" tag to include names in two languages such as with way/345724312/history is potentially problematical for a number of reasons (it's not actually the "name", and a combination of latin and non-latin text causes problems to some data consumers - see http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=508876#p508876). Only do it if there's a broad concensus among the local mapping community.

36837962

Are you sure that node/3089011667/history is best described as a guest house rather than any other sort of tourist accommodation?

36405968

Did you verify that e.g. node/3926232427 actually exists on the street? It just looked like a borderline spam node to me.

36756253

The changeset comment here says "Added from Bing and OS OOC 1.25K" yet the elevation isn't visible on either quoted source. Where did it come from?

36932583

Hello - something went wrong here - you addd some streets in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (e.g. way/395233051/history). I've deleted them (so no need to worry about that). I'm guessing that you might have been following some HOT guide or introduction to OSM - in order to prevent these streets appearing again would it be possible to say what that was?
Hope you don't mind me asking...
Best Regards,
Andy

.. actually, the "Target" looks pausible - it's the imported farmland that's wrong.

36922828

The other node looks unlikely too - node/3980335619 is a "Target" shop in the middle of a field.
