It's not just iD that's the problem. There's an industrial-supply store I've been monitoring called "Safway", and even before the invention of the name-suggestion index, well-meaning armchair mappers would turn it into a grocery store called "Safeway". A "not:brand" tag would reduce the workload by letting iD cue mappers that no, this isn't the well-known grocery store. (There's also a "Maxwell House", but thankfully, most people realize that the coffee brand doesn't operate restaurants.) -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
