Keep Right flags web links that have gone offline.
Unfortunately it doesn't really do that. After a discussion with the
developer I found out it tests whether a server in central Europe has a
link to the UK URLs not if the actual link is current. I was coming
across far too many time consuming false-positives for it to be useful.
Anyone know if there's a way to at least use a UK based server or to
conveniently ping multiple websites directly?

Add missing URL scheme on UK's Pubs websites

Hi all,
First of all, I would like to introduce myself on this email list and
to thank you all for your contributions to OSM. Great work!
After some time using OSM as a user, I decided to make my first step
as a contributor, hence this email and the proposal inside.
Please bear in mind that this is my first attempt to contribute with
a proposal and, although I have done my best reading the community
conventions and best practices, I am sure I have made some mistakes
on the way. Be merciful! :P
To the point now.
I am importing a subset of nodes from UK (those tagged with
amenity:pub) for a pet project.
When analysing the data I realised that some of these nodes contain a
website: tag that does not contain an appropriate URL schema
(http/https).
Ie: www.mypub.com <http://www.mypub.com> rather than
http://www.mypub.com <http://www.mypub.com> or https://www.mypub.com
This goes in contradiction with the Wiki documentation for website.
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:website>
I created a proposal for a one-off, scoped, automated edit for these
nodes to find the appropiate scheme for the existing URL and retag
the nodes.
I added the proposal to the Automated edits log. You can read it here
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits/rodrigodiez/Add_missing_URL_scheme_to_pub_websites_in_UK>.
Just wanted to share the proposal with the UK community, gather your
feedback, comments and advises on how to proceed from here
One issue I can think of with pubs and websites is that they need
checking to ensure they are still current.
The defacto method most pubs use to communicate with customers is
facebook.
A more general fix of urls missing http(s)://, why only pubs?. is
probably a maproulette quest.
