Re: [Tagging] Unifying large multi-location store chains

Hello, It's a good deal to fix spelling variant. but why keeping the brand in the key name if it's not a name ? maybe it's only due the fact that some render use the name and doesn't fall back to use the brand is the name is unset. maybe an issue to those render is needed to fix this mistake.

Re: [Tagging] Unifying large multi-location store chains

Hello Graeme, Thanks for your feedback. I've never encountered such international differences. The only one that is close is that there are two different supermarket chains called "Netto" here in Germany. But I think that it should be no problem because after a short research on the Internet one

Hi I think I can see what you're getting at, but, as always, international usage is going to rear it's ugly head! We have Target & K-mart (not Big K-mart) in Australia, but over here Lowe's is a men's wear chain (Lowe's hardware was called Masters, but it crashed) There are also Woolworth's

Re: [Tagging] Unifying large multi-location store chains

I'd like to point out that I've seen a lot of chains like these tagged with a wikipedia=* tag for the brand, they should use the brand:wikipedia tag instead. This is a big problem for Nominatim right now, as it ranks results based on wiki tags. So if you are going through these it would be a great

Re: [Tagging] Unifying large multi-location store chains

Hi Marc, Yes, I'm aware of the fact that names may differ for some brands, but espacially American companies use the brand's name for all their locations. That's also a reason why I want to review the changed objects manually, because if the name may differ, like [brand name] [city name], I would
