The aftermath of the (IMHO very unnecessary) change: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/4504#issuecomment-341980655 We now have - 62 chimney_sweeper - 36 sweep - 1 chimney_sweep and one confused chimney sweep Am 04.10.2014 um 20:39 schrieb John F. Eldredge: > Chimney sweeps still exist

Re: [Tagging] Retag: craft=sweep => craft=chimney_sweep

Chimney sweeps still exist in the USA, although they offer a variety of services. The usual term for the industry is Heating/Ventilating/Air Conditioning Repair, often abbreviated to HVAC Repair. I had my chimney cleaned a few years ago. The technique used was a powerful, truck-mounted vacuum c

Re: [Tagging] Retag: craft=sweep => craft=chimney_sweep

Now as we have clarified that they still exist, we could come back to the original question what would be the best tag. I agree that craft=chimney_sweep is less ambiguous than =sweep alone, and with currently 24 instances in taginfo it would be a good time to change wiki and tags. Andreas Goss w

Re: [Tagging] Retag: craft=sweep => craft=chimney_sweep

I don't think they are extinct. There are countries that require by regulation regular inspections of chimneys. For example, they check that the hot exhaust gases from your methane-fired central heating have non corroded the lining of your chimney, which would be a fire hazard. In Germany here is

According to http://www.goudengids.be/schoorsteenvegers/ there are still 396 of them in Belgium. I think it's even required to let the chimney of your house cleaned for insurance purposes. Many people still use wood or pellets to (partially) heat their house. Several crafts men (carpenters, roof r

[Tagging] Retag: craft=sweep => craft=chimney_sweep

Tying to clean up the Wiki a bit and found craft=sweep. I think it would be better to tag it craft=chimney_sweep as this makes it clearer and a lot easier to understand for non-native speakers. What do you think? I would then also like to retagg the few that are already in use if others agree
