No, but I think neighbourhood is. :) The term neighborhood is used commonly in the U.S. as in the wikipedia article. On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 11:13 AM, Pieren pier...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Josh Doe j...@joshdoe.com wrote:

Hi, just following up on the gym/fitness centre thread. I found the talk page [1] where this discussion has apparently been going on for a couple years (I know, shocking, isn't it?). I noticed a note on the bottom of the page that a bot changed ~1500 gyms to sport=gymnastics!? Anyone know if

What you refer to as gym sounds like what I'd call a health club or fitness club. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_club Is it supposed to be tagged as sports centre? The wiki description makes me think a sports centre is a pretty large structure, whereas there are some pretty small health

I'm not clear why this is all that different from an alley which might have garages along it. Creating a new tag here seems like overkill to me. Couldn't you just use one of the service values (driveway, alley, or just keep it at service), and add access tag, operator, etc.? I know taxonomies

To me, this sounds like a great thing to display *over* OSM data, but not *in* it. It seems similar to geocaches, which have their own infrastructure for people discovering and reporting about them. ie http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/ On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 2:11 PM, Peter

Aren't admin_level and place getting at slightly different things? admin_level is to mark official political/legal boundaries. place is to mark a...well...place that has a name, and the place=city|town|village|hamlet does not necessarily align with the type of government (if any) of the place.
