Hi<br>
Off on a slight tangent.<br>
<br>
There's been an increase (world wide) in the use of place=farm. If
you fill out the boxes on this site you'll see: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://taghistory.raifer.tech/">http://taghistory.raifer.tech/</a><br>
Over 19k are in GB:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/place=farm">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/place=farm</a><br>
<br>
The reason for the increase could be it being displayed in the OSM
carto rendering<br>
Just one example: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4364588497">http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4364588497</a><br>
<br>
I believe many, if not all, are misinterpretations & should be
landuse=farmyard.<br>
The wiki <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm</a> says "a place named
by a name of a farm"<br>
To me, that means a collection of houses not associated with the
farm being collectively given the name of that farm, so in effect, a
hamlet has been named, say, Manor Farm. <br>
<br>
Is that a common occurrence? I know of no such in my locale.<br>

<p>Today saw us pass the 1,000 total for farmyards added during
this project(1008 to be precise).</p>
<p>Well done to everyone who has participated. What has been the
most unusual farm name anyone has come across?</p>
<p>Only a couple of weeks left - time to start thinking about
our next quarterly project, while we see how many more
farmyards we can add.</p>
