[Talk-GB] Two schools on the same site

2016-01-17 Thread Neil McManus

Hi,

It seems I am not the only one with this problem. I too have been 
contributing to the quarterly project by adding a few more schools in 
West Lothian and have come across a problem where two schools share the 
same building.  They have a few sites where catholic and 
non-denominational school share the location.


How should I tag this in OSM?  For now I put both names in the tag like 
'amenity=school' , 'name=school 1 / school 2', but this doesn't seem right.

e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/55.95730/-3.46847
After adding it with both names as above, I checked that a search for 
school 1 works, but school 2 does not.


Thanks,

Neil

[Talk-GB] New mapper causing problems

2015-05-21 Thread Neil McManus
A new user has burst onto the scene in my local area and has made lots 
of bad edits.


For example:
http://osm.org/go/evfACGRIT

They added the outline of the road around the mini-roundabout and have 
disconnected the footpaths from the roads.  They have deleted the 
footpaths/cycleways that I added and replaced them with "path".   Or 
sometimes they run in parallel with the original.


Anyway, I tried contacting them politely and their reply was basically 
"I know what I'm doing, I'm making it better".  Their changeset comments 
are either "add icon" or "updating wrong information on map i live here 
i know the layout of most of what is here".


Could someone undo their bad work by removing their changesets?  Or how 
is the best way to proceed?  I get the feeling if I try and correct 
their errors they will just put it back the way they want.
