Whilst the idea is sound, I am not sure about the name. Is it even a

Hi Severin
The English word is Mobile Phone, cell phone is American.
In the UK most topups are done by a card which is swiped though a machine.
Most, if not all supermarkets, convenience stores, garages, newsagents do this.
You can also top up at cash points.

What OS are you running? A fellow UK mapper was recently unable to revert using
windows, however the reversion worked for me running on fedora linux.

Aeroway is not intuitive, whilst I understand it I would not use it.
Building = hangar makes more sense to me. A hanger is a building for storing
aircraft but many are in use long after the airfield has gone. Their shape

Not my mapping, just somewhere I've been walking and thought wonder if it had

In the UK many premiere inns are converted office buildings.
How does one go about mapping a row of terraced houses, where a single

would have drawn each house to maintain numbering, is that the correct way?

Does anyone else find that editing ways with relations slows potlatch to a

I think that is very country specific, not something that can be tagged
worldwide.
In the UK, beyond speed limits, there are no rule differences between urban and

I would avoid public, when tagging schools as it had very different meanings

I would suggest state and private.

Maize is a rarely used word in British English these days, you see corn on the
cob sold in supermarkets, not maize.
The only place you see the word maize used is for maize mazes, because it
sounds good.
For once I would go with the American corn here.

Trash is American, not English and I, and I'm sure many others cannot hear or
read it without visions of the ending of the Waltons.
