Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Jewellery shop

The approved way of tagging is using the AE spelling. 
Approved by the use of the tag by thousands of mappers. 
Spelling it different could be treated as a misspelled tag. So "fixing" it is 
not that surprising. 

Bad luck for those who invented it in the wrong spelling. Now it is too late 
for changing it giving very little benefit.

btw: there seem to be people changing the spelling of these from BE to AE,
I have in the past added shop=jewellery and looking at them now shows they
have been changed in the meantime.

or by the people making the editor presets and rendering rules,
autocompletion. How many people are typing tags and override the
autocompletion suggestion, and then decide to deliberately use a tag that
is not highlighted in their editor as valid if another one with small
spelling differences is? If we get common applications (josm, iD) to render
the british spelled version, many mappers will likely follow. Fortunately
osm-carto does render both spelling variants!

I think there is no sense in changing just a label, its more a kind of a
hygienic operation. If a tag is so well supported like jewelry (over
20.000) against another one with 187, then the decision has already been
made by the mappers.

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Jewellery shop

2016-01-25 Thread Matthijs Melissen
Hi all,

The tag shop=jewelry is one of the few tags that use American rather
than British English. The previous discussion seemed to indicate that
people have strong opinions on this topic, but that there is no strong
consensus either way.

I have therefore created a proposal page for the tag shop=jewellery.
Hopefully this proposal, and a possible vote, will help the community
to create an opinion on this topic.

The proposal can be found here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Jewellery_shop

Please let me know what you think.
