Re: [Tagging] Names containing abbreviations that are the official name
Unless the word is "St." for Saint in English where there is no evidence that the full spelling is ever, ever used. And including the word "Township" in the name may also be considered "tagging for the renderer". This place sounds like it is a "township" by virtue of some act of incorporation and its name is defined as "Mt. Lebanon" (or "Mount Lebanon").

yes. name = full name without abbreviation official_name = like in government use. -- Le 25. 07. 17 à 03:16, Albert Pundt a écrit : > I know abbreviated names are frowned upon in OSM, but what about places > like towns where the abbreviation is part of the official name?

[Tagging] Names containing abbreviations that are the official name
I know abbreviated names are frowned upon in OSM, but what about places like towns where the abbreviation is part of the official name? For example, Mt. Lebanon Township in Allegheny County, PA (near Pittsburgh). It is officially, in all government documents, named "Mt. Lebanon" (though the postal service continues to use its original official name Mount Lebanon), but OSM guidelines would have it mapped as "Mount Lebanon" as it is currently mapped. Presumably cases like these still follow the OSM guideline? Perhaps "official_name=Mt. Lebanon Township" should be used as well? --Albert ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

EzekielT asked me to post the following in the mailing list: I've never done intentional vandalism; and all of those edit problems were misunderstandings from over a year ago. I'd already explained to SomeoneElse from the DWG about those misunderstandings a long time ago; and everything was already resolved. -- EzekielT (talk), Mon Jul 24, 14:10. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] amenity spamming?
User has replied on their talk page. I get the impression they're cooperative but don't know the guidelines. Could someone more experienced with tag creation explain to them what's fine and what's not? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:EzekielT ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] amenity spamming?
The user seems to have some history with bad edits[1]. Some of the tags could be helpful. (e.g. public microwaves in campuses), but it appears this user is not familiar with OSM etiquette and just goes ahead and edits as he/she sees fit without discussing. There's also a chance of intentional vandalism, but I'm not sure. Some of the tags are ridiculous, e.g. flower.

Re: [Tagging] amenity spamming?
Talk to this user to explain that it's fun but must be stopped and reverted. He do it itself... or somebody 'll do it for him and request a lockout.
