Hi Manny,
Welcome to OSM. It's great to have a new mapper. Unfortunately, as well as your useful additions, you accidentally deleted a bus route relation and turned part of the A49 into a path. I've changed these back, so no harm done. If you need any help with anything please feel free to ask.

Hi That part of the A49 out of Wigan now runs via Southgate, and it is now a path: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.5416152,-2.647048,19.04z?hl=en

Okay, sorry. That's an unsual one. I've put that back how it was. I assume the bus route deletion was unintentional? We can't use Google maps as a source by the way.
All the best,

Thanks Adam,
I live round the corner from here, and only used GM to prove it had changed.
What are valid sources?

Hi Adam,
I removed the bus route as the buses use Pottery Road / Southgate outbound from Wigan.

Hi manny,
Acceptable sources: Your own local knowledge and anything you survey on the ground + any of the background layers available in the osm editors. Any other maps found online are likely to be copyright and unuseable in OSM.Bus routes are mapped as 'relations' which effectively list of all the different road sections making up the route. Rather than delete the whole relation (ie. the whole bus route) you wanted to delete the incorrect road sections from the relation (and add the correct new sections of the route). I appreciate that this is far from obvious. Relations aren't the easiest starting point for a new mapper. I've corrected the bus route so it now goes along Pottery Lane and Southgate.
Kind regards,
Adam
