A 'site of special scientific interest' is different to a 'site of
community importance', at least in the UK. A 'site of community importance'
appears to be a way for the EU to notify a member countries that a piece of
land should be designated a SAC.
There doesn't appear to be an agreed way to map
y for "water play area". I'm not sure what

Wasn't sure what a "splash pad" was and it looks like it's a North American
term for the British "water play area"?
In keeping with the language convention we should be using the British
"playground=water_play_area".
It's definitely a good thing to add, but I'd usually map it as an area

Well its clear I've democratically been beaten down on this topic!
The best way to resolve this is to see what happens in the future.

And I'm about to edit it back to sport=association_football.
The use of soccer should never have crept in to OSM. I've made it clear that
I think the use of soccer will be very controversial in the UK. I could
never participate in a project that labelled my teams football ground as

Gridiron? I didn't know the there were so many versions of football in North

I don't think there is an easy solution, and I think we should just go back

I guess this means an edit to the wiki football page and creating a

Stephen, you missed the point I was making. I dont agree with sport=football
because, as you say, there are numerous versions of football out there.
What I have brought into the discussion is soccer is considered an insulting
word for 'association football' for 'football supporters' in the UK.
In
Yes, the wiki needs to be changed to tell people not to use the insulting
word 'soccer', especially as we try to use British English to stop tags
getting confusing.
Just using sport=football would be confusing, so I prefer
sport=association_football
I would also guess that using the insulting term
I agree with Pawel. I'd prefer 'residential home' with residents=children
I think use of the word Orphanage has nearly disapeared in the UK because
the word means children have permanently lost their parents, but many of
children in 'children's homes' may only be there for a short period while
