Hey Dave, please try to keep your edits productive. This kind of noise isn't and is possible to cause edit wars.

If you want to change the definition of the website tag to for any generic website related to the brand. I suggest you try to get consensus with local mappers and the global tagging community. You can reach them on mailing lists and the community forum.

Hey Dave, please try to use changeset comments. Have you done this in other edits?

Hey Dave did you know you have deleted one in this?
node/2072603786

What was your source for this?

Hey Dave, please try to document the sources you've used so other mappers can validate and improve the data. As I'm sure you're aware you can so document sources on the changeset level or on the feature level. Have you forgotten to do this in other edits as well?

source=*

I was showing friends how to edit with Go Map :)
Clearly not my usual editor.

But that isn't related to the individual object.

You could add brand:website=https://www.poundland.co.uk/ but personally I don't think it's worth our time to add and maintain when it's available via Wikidata.

Nice, if you have a valid source for that, make the edit. Thank you.

The date I added to them was the OSM last edited, with some kind of local knowledge (not blind tag changes from iD, not building changes from aerial imagery). That can sometimes be hard to tell from the object history.

The idea is that OSM consumers and editors can be aware that the data is old. StreetComplete is a great example, it will ask the user to confirm it's still there/what has replaced it.

Hey, unfortunately iD doesn't remove tags when a business changes, so you have to do it manually. I've fixed this one in changeset/144377111#map=19/53.78471/-1.07010

That they are suspect. I couldn't find them on https://locations.99only.com/

It was an issue because a mapper felt strongly that there local shop had a different name to the rest. So I just avoid that drama.

NSI and iD will normalise the name and category overtime, or now I've added `brand:wikidata` someone can do it easily.

I agree, and unifying the categories. But I've been told off for that before. :/

Thanks

Hey it looks like you've removed some details eg node/2624736613

https://www.dunnesstores.com/store-locator/stores/41 to http://www.dunnesstores.com/

http?! in 2022, and from a specific website for the POI to a generic brand website.

I don't know where I got the 600 number from, looking at the data again I see 114 Directly Managed Branches.

(Converted to GeoJSON for your convenience https://gist.github.com/Cj-Malone/eeab2fa7fda44fb4465efe20d106f333)

5 of which are in NI, I didn't remove operator data from any them in this edit.

Your overpass query doesn't take into account "contact:website" (Which I used to add, but don't any more). So it's actually only a small number without website or contact:website (most of which are probably errors with osm, not missing websites eg node/2964354669#map=19/54.64165/-5.53595)

The bulk of my Post Office tagging is done. I still want to do more while the pol data is fresh (Add missing, re/move old, etc) but it's slower and probably wont be in NI as there isn't OS OpenMap Local to correlate.

Hey,

Rel: changeset/143247316

My clip board doesn't always work at the moment (I think it's related to Wayland).

I'll go through that list and check them, I intend to do https://osm.mathmos.net/postoffice/distant-matches.html as well

Thanks for pointing this out

(Or user error, your choice)

Thank you, it look like my clip board let me down!
