<div dir="ltr"><div>The specific problem with that suggestion is that you miss lots of Thomas Cook shops (particularly old Co-op Travel & Ilkeston Co-op travel): it hits about 3 within 15 miles of Nottingham whereas there are nearer 11 (for obvious reasons), and one of those is <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/116307151/history">apparently is not</a> now a travel agent. </div><div><br></div><div>This latter aspect shows that editors other than iD may not surface Wikipedia/wikidata tags & that therefore such data needs to be cross-checked, and bulk edits may inadvertently change other things. In many ways I prefer that we acquire new local mappers (like OftenResident in Alfreton) who notice that an area is out-of-date & set about getting it up-to-date, rather than doing a partial update and missing other info (like the shop is now a hairdresser). Obviously others think we should keep everything as up-to-date as the information we have available. I don't think we have ever reached a consensus on this.</div><div><br></div><div>Jerry</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Sat, 28 Sep 2019 at 16:41, Silent Spike <<a href="mailto:silentspike100@gmail.com">silentspike100@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div dir="ltr">It's unclear to me if there's a consensus on the tagging here.
