I see that you've put source="Wiltshire Definitive Map" in the tagging. Do you have permission to use information from the Definitive Map in OpenStreetMap? Generally these maps have lines drawn on top of Copyrighted Ordnance Survey base-maps, which means they're off-limits for use in OSM. Digitised Public Rights of Way data (without the base-map background) is another matter though, and it is possible to get permission to use these. But we need an explicit statement / licence from each Council. Generally this will be permission to use the data under the Open Government Licence, and we would then need to document this with the specified attribution statement at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Public_Rights_of_Way_Data_from_local_councils . Wiltshire is not currently listed there, although there is an FOI request in progress to get the data and permission to use it: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/public_rights_of_way_gis_data_9 . I maintain a table of which authorities we have PRoW data for and what licence it can be used under at https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/open-data/ . Any updates and corrections to this would be most welcome.
