Hi, welcome to OSM.
Your edits seem to be over a very wide area, I doubt you have visited them all.
What is the source of these edits? how did you know exactly where these take aways are located?
Thanks Phil -

1/ You would be surprised how many i have visited, but no i have not visited them all.
2/ The source of the edits for takeaways is the website take-a-way.co.uk.
3/ The maps or photos on the menu, google maps (i offer corrections on there also) Google streetmaps i look and the images and count chimneys and other features to identify the exact location. -

In this case the address given on the menu is not sufficient to locate an individual business, particularly on a long road such as this. You should be aware that copying from copyright sources such as google maps is absolutely against the rules. These are pointed out in http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright, http://www.openstreetmap.org/welcome and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners_Guide_1.1.
I quote "OSM contributors are reminded never to add data from any copyrighted sources (e.g. Google Maps or printed maps) without explicit permission from the copyright holders."
Any contributions which we suspect have contravened these rules should be reverted.
As an aside the website tag should contain the url of the business, which this one has, rather than to a 3rd party listing site. -

1/ Who said anything about copying from Google?
2/ What you probably are implying is i can't look at Google images to confirm the location, i should take a photo myself.
3/ yes correct i should have put the broken url (it is working at the moment) as the business and the 3rd party site as the reference. -

Hi
You are correct, you must not look at google maps to confirm the location. The preferred way of contributing to openstreetmap is to visit the locations and if necessary take photos yourself, although if you have visited then you memory would be good enough. The businesses concerned can obviously add their locations from local knowledge.
There is http://www.mapillary.com/ which contains photos which you can use, but so far it is fairly limited.
Some things can be mapped remotely from bing aerial imagery which is included in osm editors, such as woodland, water, buildings, hedges but shops do need a lot of legwork to map them properly. -
Comment from trigpoint
Sorry, you cannot copy from google images either.

You are in error regarding mapillary.
I have just read its terms of use quote-
Mapillary will always be free for personal and non-commercial use.
So if i updated or add something to OSM and it is used commercially by another. Then i would be in breach of their terms by viewing images to gain information which was later used for gain.
Time to stop and find another hobby i think.
Thanks for your comments. -
Comment from SK53
Mapillary explicitly provide the rights to use its images to add stuff to OSM (just as Mapbox & Bing allow their aerial imagery to be used). The personal license relates to using the Mapillary images & website for purposes other than contributing to OSM. So Mapillary is definitely the best we have as a Google Streetview alternative. Many of us find it quite fun to make sets of pictures and add them to Mapillary: the problem is that as yet coverage is patchy.

Yes i thought it might be fun also as i travel around the country a lot and often have time to burn during daylight hours.
But after considering the ramifications of what we are and are not allowed to do i have decided against it.
And to comply with what we are not allowed to do i have begun to delete my entries on OSM.
