You are forgetting about the time... I am personally suffering because my phone number has beed assigned to a company repairing automatic doors 8 (!) years ago. They left stickers with their number in each door they ever touched. (Doors often need service early in the morning... argh) A phone number in OSM will also remain after it's validity because of the lack of a process to check them regularily. And between a correct listing in a yellow pages dictionary and a correct listing in OSM is one sometimes unreliable device between keyboard and chair. I support the idea to store links to the wiki yellow pages. Lulu-Ann -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
