Thank you however those sites are hardly authoritative and the names appear to have been made up with no on the ground knowledge. Hardly suitable for OSM which is supposed to reflect the real world.

A junction name should as a minimum appear on a sign.

What is the source of this ridiculous name, nobody calls it Whetstone as it is not in Whetstone.

It has no verifiable name but is generally known as Leicester South of just Junction 21.

You do seem to be adding pointless duplicate name tags, which just adds clutter and makes it harder for unpaid mappers who look after their own local areas to spot the important tags, OSMs most valuable resource are these unpaid volunteers.

You don't need to add translated names where they don't differ from the main name tag, any computerised data consumer should be able to use the name tag if there is no language specific name.

What source are you using for these edits?

Thank you for your reply, however you have not answered my question as to where these edits were discussed with the UK community, I would expect a minimum of a post to the talk-gb mailing list.

I suspect the bug you should be reporting is that it is checking motorway bridges at all. If a motorway bridge is anything other than default then there has been an epic fail on behalf of the builders.

I am, it seems unlikely that such a small place has a non-local name, that is normally for big cities.

Hi, what is the source of this name.

This relation is for the adin area City of Leicester, yet you have added a large number of duplicates which simply say Leicester. There is no point adding duplicate name tags.

Please could you also use meaningful human readable changeset comments which describe what you have done so that the local community can read what you have done. A maaningless hastag totally fails at this.

Were these edits discussed withe the UK community?

Hi, just found this after reading the Guardian Article.

The cinema tag seems a bit wrong is it not?

Thank you for fixing

Hi, this changeset has gone badly wrong. Whilst Doodle Alley may be a dead end for vans, it is most certainly not a dead end for all modes using OSM. The fact it was joined in the first place should has set the brain cells going. The solution is clearly visible on mapillary which you have sait you were using https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=2934782316802733
Generally objects in OSM are more likely mistagged rather than added in error.

Rather than deleting, you should have thought beyond your usecasespent a few minutes checking available sources and in this case converted to a cycleway.

There is a separately mapped footway here, therefore the correct tag is sidewalk=separate, no is incorrect.

Cheers Phil

Whilst this edit is not technically wrong, walking is not illegal, it would be better not to tag foot=yes here, A case of let sleeping dogs lie.

Hi, I am not sure when you surveyed these roads, but there is no shoulder along this stretch of the A5.

Whoops I had. not sure how. The bridleway to Moss Lane had been par of the relation and had intended to just remove it.

Fixed in relation/7708228

Hi Ian
Thank you for your edits, however the access tagging you have used is a bit strange as it prevents use of bridleways on foot and bike which is how a bridleway is defined in England and Wales. If you are going to tag them as access=private you do need to also include foot=designated and bicycle=yes.

Hi
Are you sure that Tesco doesn't open until 08:00, seems very late.

Hi
Stone is a very odd material for a gate, I would have thought the obvious fix for wod would be wood.

Hi, I am a bit confused by this changeset. Has the coastal path really been routed along the road as other than OSM I can find no other source for this change.

Thank you, I was using some old images but have since spotted it has gone.

I really need to go and survey The Salopean :)
