Hi Robert, Looks interesting. I've signed in and had a look. However, the first
one I looked at is a petrol station, and the wiki indicates that shop=yes is
the correct tagging as an additional tag for amenity=fuel. Hence I suggest that
these be omitted from the list requiring replacement.

I am also a complete newbie to Maproulette, but have had a go at a couple of
shop=yes near me.
Some are easy enough, but others are rather tricky to tag correctly (surprise,
surprise!), so I'll have to do some more research, both on the ground and in
OSMWiki, to try to find an in-use tag that is
giving it a go as a Maproulette newbie too.
I have shop=yes on a number of locations where I know that there is a shop
open, but i need to survey in person to check what it is. In Maproulette,
would that be "Not an issue"? or "Too hard, can't see"? (not expecting
Robert to know, but someone else m

I've never really used Maproulette before, but I thought this would be
a good opportunity to have a go. So here's my attempt at a challenge,

Thanks Silent Spike. Keep up the good work.
Of course, the very process of people tagging a shop type with the value
that they think is correct, unprompted by the NSI, is/was the process of
gaining consensus. I fear slightly that in our desire to use the 'right'
value we lose that inputNot tha

I can shed some light on this. The "type" field (drop down list) on the
generic "shop" preset is generated from taginfo.
And this is the problem. One of the shop=yes entries in Southend on sea is The
Range. I wasn’t sure how to tag it (I was using iD for speed, and it’s list of
defined shop tags is fairly minimal) so I tried an overpass query on Name=The
Range.
I have found, variously (aside from those without a
Whilst we are on the subject of shops (I hope this isn't dragging the
discussion too far off topic) people may be interested how editors like iD
and Vespucci get lists of UK shop names to suggest in drop-downs. The Name

Thanks for the heads up.
I specifically use it when I know that a shop exists, and am due to survey
it to say what it is. So I guess it doesn't hurt if those aren't
rendered..but please, people in general, don't just delete them.

Since version 4.22 of the Carto map style (which was deployed a few
days ago), the generic shop=yes tag is no longer rendered on the
default OSM-Carto map at https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . For details
of the decision see
