Crossings do not render on the standard carto, I am baffled by that decision.

They do show on the cycle layer changeset/90477805#map=19/52.70806/-2.73849&layers=C and http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=20&lat=52.7078081&lon=-2.738469 which is a more UK friendly render.

Hi, the crossing was already in the database. I have updated the tags to indicate that it is a pelican.

Hi, thank you for your addition but please take your time and do a bit more than the absolute minimum and improve the map by looking after the existing features.

You have drawn your road over the top of an existing wood, it is clear from imagery that the wood is now smaller, please take care and fix it.

The footpath has been incorporated into the pavement, so should now join the road.

The best tag we have for collectables/vintage is antiques.

Phil Perks is already mapped.

Is it really a convenience shop? The name suggest it is a butchers.

I will do.
I must admit I do not understand the value of this tag. In most places I map it will always be a wet finger in the air job.

Are you sure about this?

The majority of road names seen to be in French.

The wiki page does say that the tag does not make sense in multilingual regions.

Hi
Lunts Chemist should be tagged as amenity=pharmacy.

When you add nodes within a building is a bit of a black art but in this case I would put the name/amenity tags on the building and not include a node.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit however many of the tags you have removed remain valid. The address tags obviously remain valid and will continue to be valid when the premises become something else.

General consensus is to remove the name if the signs have gone and the important one is to change shop= to disused:shop= to prevent someone searching for a gift shop being directed here.

Keep on mapping :)

Hopefully it will not happen again.

That was the second time I had fixed the problem in a week. This mapper hadn't even edited a beach :)

Hi, I assume you mean the demo map on OSM.org, remember that is just one rendering of the OSM database and you should not worry about how something looks. The main thing is that what is in the database is correct.

The problem is that things are close together here and there is not space to fully render everything so the rendering software has to decide what to show,

Navigation apps such as OSMand will find it and it does render on openstreetmap.fr which has tiles rendered at zoom 20, whereas osm.org only renders to zoom 19.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Theank you for your edits however the name tage should only be used for actual names and not used for descriptions,Forest Track is a description and you should not be used in the name tag, the PROW reference also should not be in the name tag,

See osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

Names in OSM should be verifable on the ground. When naming fields please use the field_name tag rather than name.
Also when mapping fields do not leave gaps between them, they should share nodes so that walls/hedges/fences can be drawn.

Louise house is probably better described as a clinic, it certainly isn't a hospital.
Club 0-14 I assume is a kindergarten, what we call a nursery in Britiish English?

Hi, you seem to have created a very large building that covers the gardens here.

I have restored your additions, however I have mapped Carreg Chwislen as bare rock, its not a peak.

Croisi y OSM diolch/thank you for your edits. This one certainly needs to be reverted as you have turned the entire island of Great Britain into a beach.

Your edits seem to have been duplicating beaches which were already mapped. What were you trying to achieve?

You certainly can, adding a things from a personal survey is the gold standard in OSM. Just use a source tag of 'survey' or similar words. You do not have to justify it like you do with wikipedia.

You should use the highway type based on what you see on the ground, many rights of way follow tracks or service roads although if it is entirely new it is fine to map as footway or bridleway and improvements can be made later.

In England and Wales we use the designation tag to indicate the legal status of a right of way, i.e. designation=public_footpath/public_bridleway/restricted_byway. You should be able to find this by looking at the signs or from the colour of the waymark arrows.

osm.wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom will give you some pointers.

Hi
Please do not copy from recent OS maps, they are copyright and we are not allowed to use them.

Also you seem to have not taken on board my comments on how long distance paths are mapped as relations.

Also what does cyc mean?
