Hi
Please be careful not to duplicate existing objects, take a few seconds to look at the map and check if the object already exists.

@kitsee Your statement about a lot of OSM being imported is only partially true. Internationally a lot was imported, but in the UK we have always been very adverse to imports so here very little was imported.

What techniques do you believe are outdated and what are you trying to achieve?

Please can you post the overpass query you are using?

This feels very unlikely, can't imagine the neighbours being happy.

At least you have deleted it.

Hi Luna
Please don't delete objects and redraw them. This loses history from the database and is disrespectful to other mappers.

Duplicate removed as per comment left on changeset/155605669

Hi
Looks like someone saw sense and restored the Bowling Green to its proper name. This is therefore a duplication so I am removing it and correcting the existing object.

Hi Luna
Please do not add duplicate objects to Openstreetmap. Soar Point is correctly mapped as an area and is visible on every renderer I am aware of.

What do you mean by 'seen by api'. What API as openstreetmap does not have one.

This edit is incorrect, highway=pedestrian is for pedestrianised streets in town centres. This was correctly mapped as a track.

Maybe with a survey tracktype could be added but I am reverting this.

Again you have made existing mapping worse, in merging way/1188489769 into a single building you have lost that they are separate semi detached houses. This can be checked using the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels layer in iD. They also have separate UPRN (Unique Propery Reference Numbers).

Hi
There is already a caravan park here, mapped as an area, however you have created a duplicate node.
Please update the existing object rather than creating duplcates.

I have merged these.

Hi, not sure what you trying to achieve, but the pub is already mapped. Ok its a Hotel and Restaurant but thats a common issue.
However in this and your other changesets you are using some very strange tags. A pub should be mapped as amenity=pub, and optician as shop=optician. Business is not a primary tag.

Hi, this edit has removed existing data so has made OSM worse.

You have deleted semis mapped as building=house, where individual units are shown and replaced them with building=yes.

Remember you are working in an area with an active community and many things are already mapped. Please do not destroy the work of local mappers.

Cheers Phil

Just adding buildings is pointless, its not as though in Cymru the emergency services do not have access to OS mapping, they are very unlikely to use OSM.
If you genuinely want to help OSM, although this area has active mappers, please add other useful information which is available from OS Opendata Streetview (layer in iD) such as farm names.

This edit has missed important visual clues. Buildings way/1309836157 and way/1309836158 are not detached and way/1309836156 is clearly a conservatory so is never going to be stand alone.

Hi Will
The Red Lion was already mapped and you have created a duplication. The pub is clearly visible on the map at osm.org. In the editor it shows as a building area with a black beer glass. You can see the tags if you select the building.

Also the campsite looks a bit odd, in a residential driveway? I am guessing it should be the grass area nearby.

It is very unusual to map large objects, such as campsites, or pubs, as nodes. We tend to map these as areas to show the actual extent.

The garage only needs to be mapped on the building, there is no need for a node duplicating the information.

Hi
This edit has gone a little wrong.

Whilst the buildings maybe could have been improved they should not have been squared as the frontage clearly follow the curve of the road.

Buildings are not always square ,

Hi, don't you think it is odd to find an unmapped pub in a well mapped first world country? Especially one that clearly looks like a 1960s semi on aerial imagery?
Cheers Phil
I would certainly have checked the existing mapping and on doing so would have found node/879624400/history had been mapped 14 years ago.
Please be careful

Hi
Please be careful not to duplicate objects in OpenStreetMap.
The petrol station / shop and hotel are already mapped.
