Can you please use source tags on ways & changesets. You have added Tong Moor Side as a name after another one of your MapBox colleagues added a note about it. However Bing imagery gives no clues about the name. Neither of you are local mappers, so I would like to know the basis for changing the name.

Thank you for your feedback.
I changed the road name using https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/postcode/bd112af as the source. I missed adding the source. Here https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/about/datasources is the data source for this. Can you please suggest where and how I can add this source now? -

This is an inadmissible data source It contains copyright information. I'm afraid I have to revert this change.

I see the copyright source from OSM page http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright and the data source of the page https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/about/datasources both mention the Crown copyright attribution from Ordinance Survey. It will be good to know why it is inadmissible.

OK I've now reverted it, and re-added the name from Ordnance Survey StreetView OpenData. This may have been the source on Streetview, but I would strongly suggest using OSM-based tools & facilities for such things. We have tiles of OS Streetview, missing roads (OS Locator), and OSLocator Musical Chairs (this road here http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=956185).
Normally I dont trust OS data on its own now. We have so few missing roads that its only newly built ones which I use without other sources. In your case you presumably have a Mapbox error report, so that sort of counts (one can never be sure someone isnt looking at a copyright map).

Because the precise source isn't clear. It does clearly state it contains Royal Mail data (CodePoint Open) which is inadmissable for OSM. As I state above, volunteers from OSM have gone to a great deal of trouble to create tools to help in situations like this: such tools we know to be clean and designed to avoid potential copyright problems. Therefore please use them and not some other website which might or might not provide the same data.

I should add another reason for adding sources & using OSM tools is that it is far faster for other mappers to check that a change is reasonable.

Thank you. Will use these tools and use the right source while making changes lie this.
