In the wiki there is only marketplace. Perhaps anyone (with english as native language) could update it? I edit Marketplace wiki page suggesting other tags [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dmarketplace]. For the other hand, in wiki, market redirects to marketplace. Without reading your explanation this could go to misinterpretation.
For the other hand, I want to know how to tag the "opening_hours" of the market. I have the situation in which in the same area, we have marketplace and a market. A marketplace is in the building and market in the area near it. market only is in Saturdays and Mondays. Do I have to mark as amenity=market;marketplace, opening_hours=....? Really it'ds not true. One place could be open everyday but being _only_ a market. And in concrete times it become a marketplace. So opening_hours could go to a confusion. Is there any way for doing thaT?
