You'll probably face an easier road if your clean page follows the mechanical edit convention, using your name: (sample: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Bryce_C_Nesbitt ), even if you're not doing something fully mechanical.
Then: 1. Add the "TODO" plugin to JOSM. 2. From overpass turbo load "name=McDonalds" and "amenity=fast_food". 3. Export to JOSM (clicking 'repair' first). 4. Select a reasonable region, such as your home country. Invert the selection and "purge" the rest of the nodes to eliminate the non-target areas of the earth. 5. Select only tagged objects (using search) and add to the "TODO" plugin. 6. Step through the nodes, prior to making any mechanical changes. I recommend working only in countries where you understand the language and culture. name=McDonalds might be correct in places you don't fully understand. I think http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/POI:McDonald%27s is overkill however. And long term chances are some form of synchronization with McDonald's official store finder will replace the current manual process.
