Hiya. Thanks for explaining: I see your reasoning. I think in this case the problem probably lies with the app you’re using. You should get in touch with its authors and point them at osm.wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom so they can make sure their app parses those tags correctly.

Access tagging is a complex topic (because access law in the UK is frustratingly complex), and lots of people get it wrong, so don’t worry about it. For future edits, the wiki is a good place to check if you’re not sure about the precise meanings of OSM tags. :) Or just feel free to message me if you want a second opinion on something, I’m happy to help.

Thanks for taking the time to try and fix the situation here, and happy editing in future! :)

Hi, what were you trying to achieve with this edit?

The access tagging on these paths was already correct as per the tagging guidelines (osm.wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom) and the definitive map of rights of way in the area. I have reverted your changes because of this (changeset/145231849).

Hi, there now appear to be a number of ways in this changeset which don’t include the place they’re in in their address tagging at all.

For example, way/398407870 is bang in the middle of Slaidburn, but its address tagging doesn’t mention Slaidburn at all. If you were just looking at the tagging, you’d think it’s in Clitheroe, 10 miles away.

What’s the fix for that, because that can’t be right?

That looks good to me now, thanks

In the absence of any other information, and given that it’s still present on aerial imagery, I’ve re-added the brownfield in changeset/144900801. Please say if this is incorrect.

Hiya, just to check, are you sure it’s this road which is called Heggle Lane, and not the bigger one just to the west? This one’s a private driveway and leads to an open footpath across a field. The one to the west is hedge-lined and goes places. That’s the kind of road which is historically more associated with the term ‘lane’.

Is that area no longer brownfield? What is it instead?

Reverted as changeset/144781575

That’s great, thanks a lot :)

Thanks. (For anyone reading this in future, the interpolation tag was added in changeset/144733917.)

I think you might need to make similar changes for at least the following changesets too:
- changeset/144713523
- changeset/144713590
- changeset/144713796

Why remove the parking=street_side tagging? This is street-side parking according to the definition on the wiki (amenity=parking).

Hi, are you sure this is right? This edit looks like it’s removing information from the map, because those buildings are only odds house numbers. The new tagging does not reflect that.

Hiya, thanks for your edits around Carnforth recently! Just so you know, you can press ‘Q’ when a building is selected in the editor to automatically square its corners. It helps with keeping the map neat. Happy editing :)

It seems really unlikely there are two within 100m of each other, so I’ve removed the duplicate in changeset/144004848. Let me know if that’s not correct.

This edit seems to add a second post box by Douglas Avenue. Are there really two postboxes, one either side of Douglas Avenue?

Good to hear! Thanks for the fast response and happy editing :)

Hiya, if this changeset is about updating bus routes, please don’t throw in unrelated/incorrect changes like connecting a canal bridge to the towpath directly beneath it (way/164103557). Automated fixes to JOSM validator suggestions (which I assume that was) should be in a separate changeset (it’s not an update to a bus route) and checked with local knowledge rather than applied blindly (the tow path does not connect to the bridge directly above it there). Thanks.

Hiya, could you please split your changesets into smaller geographical areas? A single changeset which spans half the length of the UK is hard for local volunteers to review. See osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

This changeset could have been two: one for the Coniston area, and one for the Forest of Dean.

thanks!

Bus routes fixed in changeset/143817023. I think I got them all. If any are still broken, please say.
