Besides the following information might amuse some of the readers. As probably in most places of the christian world Christmas trees are a "temporary feature", but in Nicaragua we have them as a permanent phenomena for over 5 years now in the roundabouts of the capital: http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1911496,00.html This is not just a joke! It actually had a positive effect of recovering public spaces by the people. The illumination of the places led to an increased feeling of security and people like to spend their evenings there (the whole year). It looks like nobody has mapped them so far. We have to change this! :) At least we know now that it has to be mapped as "xmas:feature=tree".

Re: [OSM-talk] Es weihnachtet wieder sehr ...
Hello Pieren I am (as you) not very interested in Christmas trees, but I got a little offended by the tone of your answer to the OP. Please stay mellow, even when some Germans (was it necessary to stress the nationality?) map Christmas trees in your country. Pieren wrote on Fri, 8 Nov 2013 14:06:48 +0100: >Good point.

We have several features in the database which are either - temporary and reoccurring OR - temporary and not reoccurring and thus - not verifiable (never) OR - verifiable, but verifiable less than 100% of the time Those features should all be deleted? Or is it a bit more nuanced than that? Nils ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

They are built up on mostly the same spot every year (at least here in Vienna) and it of course makes sense to map them. I regret you delete features without having verified if they are current or not. /al ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
