Re: [Talk-GB] Suburbs in London/Brum - big edits

Brian, I'm curious. Where does it say in the sign up that there's this bunch of people on a mailing list and you'd better check with them before you do anything? I'm playing Devil's Advocate here, of course, but I genuinely don't believe that people are editing the map to make it worse, and

Re: [Talk-GB] Railway edits in the UK that could perhaps benefit from a bit of checking.

Greetings, all. Mentz (aka mdv) is a German company that provides the journey planner used by a number of the traveline regions, as well as for Transport for London. As you may recall from my previous posts, a number traveline regions are now using OSM as the GIS. We found a problem

Re: [Talk-GB] RFC-2 mechanical edit: UK shop names

I have to say that this is all getting rather intense. We are talking about one chain of shops! And clearly we aren't going to get an agreement on standardisation. To be honest I've never quite understood the obsession with mapping individual shops. Fine if it is done everywhere, but it isn't.

Re: [Talk-GB] RFC-2 mechanical edit: UK shop names

Mapping small shops is probably of limited use, but I do try to remove the bias of what I do map and sometimes the only way is to map everything. As a community dominated by male geeks we do tend to add POIs in the order of pubs, take aways, food shops, petrol stations. That said pubs are

Fine with me. OSM's tagging versatility is at times it's weakness so standardising can only be a good thing. Stuart Sent from my iPhone On 22 Oct 2014, at 23:06, Matthijs Melissen i...@matthijsmelissen.nl wrote: Dear all, For all objects tagged with shop=betting and name Betfred, Coral,

Re: [Talk-GB] Deletions and newbie editors

This is digressing somewhat into a discussion about NaPTAN but before I get into that point, if I can just pick up on the comment about leaving things in because it shows a history of what the data looked like. Sorry, but OSM IS a dynamic data set and doesn't AFAIK have the facility to keep a
