[Talk-GB] Streams

[Andy Mabbett]

Those of you on the talk-gb-westmidanads list will know I've raised
several queries over the last few weeks, about the layout and naming
of streams and brooks in the region.

I've found cases where names change, where sections of otherwise named
 streams are unnamed, where flows reverse, or where streams end
abruptly with no explanation - that's not to criticise my fellow
mappers, as it can be difficult to survey on private land, or to see
what happens after a watercourse disappears underground.

I've also been creating relations for each waterway, where none
existed previously; creating corresponding tems on Wikidata, and
linking the two representations to each other. Here's one such
example:

Perhaps we could address these kinds of issue, as one of our quarterly projects?
