Taginfo is just reporting numbers. It can be hard to do a correct interpretation of those numbers - impact of an import / mechanical edit - impact of presets in editors - impact of a vocal member in a local community that is followed by a group of local mappers - impact of a crazy mapper (e.g.

I meant a more formal incorporation such as adjusting the votes required based on Taginfo data. That said, I fully support how we currently use it. On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 13:32 Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > sent from a phone > > > Am 24.02.2016 um 18:57 schrieb

Don't forget it doesn't really matter if the tag is jewelry or jewellery. It's about having a uniform way of tagging. Who would vote against that, I wonder? And if both values are currently considered equivalent in OSM, changing existing data from one spelling to another does not change the value

And how much of 1100 mappers would really be interested ine the spelling of the word? Only beacause you map something, doesnt mean that you care about the tagging, me for example never tagged a jewelry (or jewellery :)) shop, but I did care about the proposal. So, of course, its a pitty that only

ok I don't have a neutral opinion on this proposal, but I think especially here, if you want to change 20.000 tagged objects, it should be three quarters. On 23.02.2016 11:33, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > I feel voting count is broken for some time. Has there been a formal > proceduce to change
