Maybe I missed the memo about this, but I'm not convinced that shop tags
doing the hokey-cokey makes OSM data any more usable :-)

Hi all,
Coincidentally, I noticed this online project to maintain a list of
canonical names. It's used for auto-suggest in iD, not for
mechanical-edit:

I've checked the list against Matthijs' proposal, and I've proposed a
few of his suggestions to g

Thank you for all comments so far. Based on the comments, I made the

I'd also say the same about the Wilkinson->Wilko rebranding. Most store
chains roll out re-brands over a number of months because they are
expensive and creating and fitting new signage externally & internally
involves a range of skills which may take time to assemble.

I think the name tag should show what is written on the shop sign. Some

Waterstones never has an apostrophe. However, some of the proposed
changes look like doing the opposite: e.g. the signs do say "M&S Simply
Food" not "Marks &
Dear Matthjis,
Apparently you have chosen to change names of shops which have been
surveyed in the field. Please do not assume that your armchair knowledge is
somehow more valuable than someone who lives in the area and actually goes
out and looks what it says on the front of the shops.

Dear Matthijs,
As Will has objected to these edits, I do too. I agree with him that it is
far too premature to even consider doing this.
AFAIK the Nottingham area is the only place in the UK, and one of the very

Whilst I can't work out the branding concept difference between them,
they are different brands. I think they tend not to include the Nisa
when they are using the Loco brand.

Hi,
"Majestic" - if you remove "wine warehouse", is it always clear from
the other tagging which brand is meant? I imagine there may be other

better to label it "Majestic Wine"? (The
