Yes - part of the thesis of the article is based around the claims
of what gets mapped. The claims in the article do not reflect
reality.<br>
<br>
OSM has more childcare centers (amenity=kindergarten) mapped than
sports arenas or sports arenas, the examples from the article. I
couldn't figure out what tags Levine was talking about for strip
clubs.<br>

For healthcare, the claims are vaguer, but as a general rule,
"primary" information like something being a doctor's office,
clinic, or other healthcare facility gets mapped faster than
"subtag" information like what type of specialty the doctor's has.
This is normal - when I'm out mapping, noting where there's a
doctor's or clinic is more important than what type it is. You see
the same in other subtags. <br>
<br>
Looking at what healthcare facilities is tagged with that
additional information, and ignoring "general", the five most
popular are "Obstetrics and gynaecology", "Ophthalmology", "General
(internal) medicine", "Paediatrics", and "Trauma and orthopaedic
surgery". (UK terms).<br>
<br>
The gender percentages are interesting, and if accurate, put a much
lower value on percentage of mapping that HOT does than I've seen in
the past. I suspect there are some problems with different sources
of numbers, and the numbers cited not being accurate.<br>
