I have little knowledge of Walmart and therefore should leave the floor to people with local knowledge. I see that another commenter has already assessed your contribution to be superior with no questions asked within an amazingly short time. I hope you will find more diligent reviewers like him; careful reviews like that are what make an import a success for both businesses and the community. I have randomly selected only one of the > 4000 objects from the browse link (http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/nampa.jpg) and have the following observations/questions, but ultimately this is of course something the US community should decide and I'm an ocean away. 1. Do you happen to have building outlines too, or is there a process by which whoever adds the thing to OSM can quickly add the building outline from aerial imagery? It seems like not too much extra work, if one looks at 4000 POIs anyway, to quickly trace a building to go with it. 2. In my particular example, there seems to be a pharmacy in OSM that is mapped separately, but also called "Wal-Mart". The import does nothing to the pharmacy. I don't know if all Wal-Marts have a pharmacy - the pharmacy POI is certainly within the Wal-Mart building. Is that a completely separate issue, or would e.g. your opening times information apply to the pharmacy as well? 3. Personally I am a bit skeptical about the shop names; I see that in my example you are changing "Wal-Mart" to "Walmart Supercenter" and I assume that Wal-Mart will, like many other chains, have different classes of supermarkets and will have different trade names for these - super, hyper, metro, local, whatever. I'm not sure if these chain-specific denominations are really desirable to have in the name tag; they seem to me to be more a marketing tool than anything else. I have checked Google Street View for this particular Walmart bulding and the sign on the building just says "Walmart", not "Walmart Supercenter". I would probably be tempted to map it as such - i.e. "name=Walmart", not "name=Walmart Supercenter". (It's also easier on the map - a longer name runs a higher risk of being dropped due to space constraints.) 4. In my particular example, you have set an "addr:full" tag that contains the street and house number, but you have not set "addr:housenumber" or "addr:street". What we would normally do is have "addr:housenumber" and "addr:street" (where we would neither abbreviate the "East" nor the "Road" in "East Franklin Road"), and the "addr:full" is optional. If "addr:full" is used (which is completely optional), it would normally contain city and post code as well.
