Well the spelling was correct before this and close to 200 others where tag-fiddled away, https://taghistory.raifer.tech/?#***/display/analogue

The tagging language of OSM is British English, or standard English so we should not be changing a correct spelling to American English, or Simplified English as we call it.

In my day job, as an Electronic Engineer, I would never use an Americanism such as Analog in a document.

Hi Kerr
Where exactly did you look it up?

Its just a unnamed spot height on historic OS maps.

Please make your changeset comments meaningful to inform other mappers what your intentions are.

Should we be tagging 'the law'?

It doesn't exactly need a survey.

Hi
Just wondering why you removed node/6280854138/history ?

Not really related to this, but has become interesting this week as apparently neither Wellington nor Telford Central have crossovers nearby which is preventing Shrewsbury-Wellington or Wolverhampton-Telford trains. They can run Wolverhapton to Shifnall.

Hi
Please make your changeset comments meaningful so that other mappers can see you intentions, bn v and your other comments are pretty meaningless.

The only public roads you are not allowed to walk on are motorways and where specifically signed.

I assume you are talking about the roads in Warwickshire in this case? Although imho the rights of way make a far nicer walk :)

Thank you.

All roads and paths are highways :)

And the A5 is a very a very ancient one. Removing highway rights is generally no done. We have a saying "Once a highway always a highway" which was coined in 1921. Roads with restricted access are mostly new builds which have never had foot/bicycle/horse access rights.

Thank you.
To the east there is a path cyclists and pedestrians, but any router worth its salt will choose this over the road, but to the west there is no alternative. A pedestrian will choose the verge obviously.

In OSM we map legal access restrictions, not what we think are dangerous.

These restrictions should be removed.

Hi Greg
Diolch for your edits on Ynys Môn, however in this and your other changesets you have tagged buildings a landuse=farmyard. This tag should only be used on the outer boundary of a farmyard.

Please could you correct this and bear in mind in the future.

Hi
Something has gone very wrong, you have added strange tags (man_made=planter material=shea butter) to many objects spanning two continents. I am not sure what your intentions were but this is not good.

Maybe try using iD as a beginner and keep to reality in a smaller area.

I have reverted this changeset.

It is rather unlikely that these roads are still 30 don't you think?

148203638

Why?
Other than my previous comments regarding one name then use the name tag.
Mapio Cymru has a maximum zoom of 16.
On OSM Carto will not start to display this node until zoom 17, then only as a dot. The name does not appear until zoom 18 which Mapio Cymru is not (yet?) capable of.

Cheers Phil

Adding English names to the name:cy tag does seem to be corrupting that tag. In openstreetmap if an object has a single name then it belongs in the name tag.

Likewise for Tesco and Burger King. So not sure what you are trying to achieve with these edits, they seem to be diminishing Welsh names rather than enhancing them.

Now if there was a law to rebrand Burger King as Burger y Brennin then I would be all for it.

Please keep your changesets to sensible areas, i.e. single countries.

This has created a large changeset with a bounding box covering most of Europe which makes it difficult for mappers to spot what has changed in their local areas.

Hi
Legal prohibitions of foot/horse/bikes are very rare in the UK.

I cannot recall any such restriction on this part of the A5 and cannot see the necessary signs of mapillary imagery.

You say Self Observered, what precisely did you observe to make this judgement?

Cheers Phil

148301432

Is there a ramp or is this only for the super fit?

Also please make your changeset comments meaningful so as to describe to other mappers what and why you are changing things.

Cheers Phil
