Hi
Off on a slight tangent.

There's been an increase (world wide) in the use of place=farm. If you fill out the boxes on this site you'll see: http://taghistory.raifer.tech/
Over 19k are in GB: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/place=farm

The reason for the increase could be it being displayed in the OSM carto rendering
Just one example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4364588497

I believe many, if not all, are misinterpretations & should be landuse=farmyard. The wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm says "a place named by a name of a farm" To me, that means a collection of houses not associated with the farm being collectively given the name of that farm, so in effect, a hamlet has been named, say, Manor Farm.

Is that a common occurrence? I know of no such in my locale.

Today saw us pass the 1,000 total for farmyards added during this project(1008 to be precise).

Well done to everyone who has participated. What has been the most unusual farm name anyone has come across?

Only a couple of weeks left - time to start thinking about our next quarterly project, while we see how many more farmyards we can add.

Regards

Brian
