Yes - that's absolutely fine! Just wanted to clarify it here so that the 
wording could be altered (I'm quite happy to do this myself).

Thanks,
Nick

I would understand 'semi-public garden' to be, for example, a garden where you 
pay an admission fee to enter, or one which is closed at night. Like Martin, I 
would expect these to be completely acceptable to map.
Not a native speaker, not a lawyer. I would describe such areas as public 
(possibly privately owned).
I think the intention is to deter people from mapping _fully private_ gardens 
which can be viewed from public roads, is this correct?
I am not sure about other, but for me it is about discouraging mapping fully 
private garden in detail.

For example mapping garden area itself and trees (maybe even with their 
species), but
micromapping area where someone planted strawberries seems something that
is out of scope of OSM for privacy reasons.

Do you think that this page is a good description of community consensus?


There are some points I would like to comment on:

-

  *   OpenStreetMap is not a property registry, thus do not map individual 
ownership of buildings or plots. There is no need to split residential landuse 
into individual plots. (Compare 
Parcel<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parcel>.)


Yes, we do not map individual ownership of land and buildings generally, but 
unless the owner is a person, we could and privacy regulations would not 
prevent us from doing it. It also isn’t an argument for refraining from mapping 
property divisions, because these are interesting regardless of _who_ is the 
owner


“some structure of a semi-public garden appear to be the borderline of being 
acceptable.“

IMHO exaggerated, semi-public objects can be mapped in all detail and aren’t 
borderline cases

Well, at least according to my understanding of the term semi-public


Cheers Martin
