Comment from Mike Baggaley
HI Martin welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please note that Geopark Way is the name of a long distance route, not the name of individual path segments.OpenStreetMap already has Geopark Way as the name of the route along these paths, so please do not name the paths as well.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the welcome. You have rather lost me about the Geopark Way. How will map users know it is part of the Geopark Way if I don't label it? Should it be labelled "part of Geopark Way"?Also, I see you have removed the name of the Walshes Recreation Ground. Should I add that as a named point rather than name the area?
Thanks,
Martin.

Hi Martin, I should have explained that the OSM standard view doesn't show long distance paths, but if you go to waymarkedtrails.org it uses the OSM data to show hiking, cycling and other routes. As for names of points of interest, they should only be added if they are proper nouns, rather than descriptions. In this case you had just put Recreation Ground, which is descriptive and we already know it is a recreation ground because of its tagging. You can by of course name it as Walshes Recreation Ground if that is its proper name. It is better to name the area rather than a point within it if an area has been mapped.
Happy mapping,
Mike -

Thanks Mike. I have only recently started on OSM after finding my local area rather lacking in detail. I'm finding the process strangely addictive. :)
Martin.
