Just to be clear - McDonald's (with a possessive apostrophe) is
correct when used for the infamous burger chain:
http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/websites.html
Yes, I know it shouldn't have, but that's the way they want it
What do you mean? The fictional character is Ronald McDonald, and it's
his joint, so possessive is appropriate, no?

The creation of the (v. scary) clown came after the creation of the
'restaurant'.
Neither Starbucks not Walmart have one.
The name of the company is McDonalds, so anything belonging to them
should be McDonalds's.
The user also amended drive_through to drive_thru, but has since
reverted those.
Is drive_through=yes the accepted tag now? When I started, I couldn't
find one, so I emulated the access=* style and used motorcar=yes on
any amenity=fast_food|restaurant that has a drive-through. I tag
motorcar=no on amenity=fast_food that specifically doesn't have it,
but do not tag anything on amenity=restaurant (since most of what I
consider restaurants would need to be tagged "no"). Should these be
changed?

It reminded be to check up on taginfo for 'donuts'. There's over 130
of them (excluding names).
I'm surprised that's all. As you point out, it is acceptable enough
that it is often used in names.
Yes, but *not* as a part of shop= or cuisine=. That's just pain wrong.
Can anyone think of any other crude labelling that should be corrected?
Now that's funny. Last time I looked at TW, I was exhausted before I
got to about ak*.
I'm not surprised, but I was think any obvious ones off the top of your
head.
