My take is that Matthijs' heroic stand is a gesture of sacrifice of a small
portion of his sanity for the greater good of OSM
However, i will totally admit to secretly preparing a kind of endographic study
of the social work of the DWG which i'm going to knock some academics out of
the sky

This is only an issue with the demo I generated, not with the proposal
itself (in the proposal itself, I explicitly restrict changes to
objects with a shop key). Thanks for pointing out this discrepancy.
I generated an improved Overpass Turbo link: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/6Aj

Perhaps just posting Overpass links and locals manually making the changes
would be better? I compared the Overpass before and after links only to find
that the nearest item on the first link is missing on the second as the
Sainsbury(')s is missing a shop tag. And now it also misses the

I think Ed has hit the nail on the head here. All your mechanical edit
does is correct one tiny part of the mapping, and possibly to no great

Finding small problems like this does have an advantage, but it looks
like fixing them mechanically is actually missing the opportunity to
improve the map in other ways at the same time.
As it happens, the local Sainsbury's that I just updated also made me realise

it's just the text of the name that's getting corrected under a limited set

We're boiling the ocean here.Matthij's proposal as it now stands is not

Dear all,
I have created a new version of my proposal to unify the names of
