Lets put some clarity on this.
a) they are not big edits. They are a handful of nodes.
b) advice now given in the wiki and self-appointed wiki editors implies
that suddenly some rouge wiki editor changed something that in general the OSM
community doesn't agree with. Suburbs are well
in as they are many years ago so it’s good to have a look again. It’s
not about tagging for the renderer or even tagging for logic. It’s just tagging
for the real world. CheersAndy From: John Baker [mailto:rovas...@hotmail.com]

Beware you should follow the mechanical edit policy for this.
I would also change the wiki pages for this that currently state we should have

My simple non-legal logic was we could use the same OS map we are allowed to
use for tracing/information. If they based them on that and released maybe that
would be ok. They did say they had hundreds of maps of the ongoing works and I
hoped it was the case of just selecting the right one.

Hi,
I have been talking to the Highways Agency who are keen to get more recent
changes on OSM. They want to get all the new roads added and therefore added to
the routers.

about OS
copyright, plus how much OSMers enjoy mapping new features, I'd
suggest using their data to create a web feed of Hot new roads for
mappers to go and survey! - I bet they'd all be mapped within a week

What an exciting time with all the news about Openstreetmap in the press and
online (Gizmodo, Reddit, The Guardian, etc).
This has led to a increase in users (our busiest day ever in terms of
contributor editing the map apparently) and overall interest in OSM. It is a
good start to the year.

It would be nice if there WAS a consensus. There are a number of

Are there any cases that I have changed where I have not?
