<p>020-3 is not a "virtual" number, it's a normal London number range.</p>

<br /> I'd send them a polite message via a changeset discussion comment <br /> explaining what went wrong with their edit.<br /><br /> Perhaps explain that if they're a genuine bricks-and-mortar business <br /> that exists in the physical world we'd love to have them in OSM, and <br /> perhaps point them at <a href="http://onosm.org">http://onosm.org</a> as a way to get a note added to <br /> avoid them having to tangle with one of the OSM editors. Oddly, the <br /> address on their website is up near London Bridge rather than south of <br /> Elephant and Castle, which might be something else to mention.<br /><br /> Someone "changing a road to be a POI" looks more like a cockup than a <br /> conspiracy* to me. There are spammers adding stuff to OSM (though <br /> thankfully more in the USA than here); most are better at it than this.<br /><br /> Cheers,<br /><br /> Andy<br /><br /> * (c) Bernard Ingham<br /><br /><br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Talk-GB mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org">Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org</a><br /><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb</a><br /><br /></blockquote>
