<div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<div>The opinions expressed on the USPS/United States Postal Service tagging have been very mixed, with seemingly equivalent numbers of people supporting both options. Based on the following facts, I have decided to convert the tag "operator"="USPS" on post boxes to "operator"="United States Postal Service". </div><div>1) We all agree that all USPS post boxes should have the same operator tag, but disagree on the minor detail of which tag is better: "USPS" or "United States Postal Service". </div><div>2) I saw, overall, a larger number of good arguments for expanding the operator tag, including the fact that the words "United States Postal Service" appear on the post boxes themselves. </div><div>3) Expanding USPS would be in line with the OSM "expand abbreviations" guidelines. </div><div><br></div><div>I will create the changeset Thursday evening if nobody replies with an objection. If you are strongly against this change, please stop me before then! </div><div><b>The changeset will do the following</b> to post boxes tagged with "operator"="USPS", "operator"="US Post Services", "operator"="US Post Service", "operator"="US Postal Service", "operator"="US Postal Services", "operator"="U.S. Post Services", "operator"="
U.S. Post Service", "operator"="U.S. Postal Service", and "operator"="U.S. Postal Services": </div><div>* <b>Convert the value of "operator" to "United States Postal Service". </b></div><div><b>* Add the tag "operator:wikidata"="Q668687". <br></b></div><div><b>* Add the tag "operator:wikipedia"="en:United States Postal Service". </b></div><div><b>* Fix any warnings or errors that come up in the JOSM validator window (such as incorrect collection times format). </b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Post offices will not be affected by this change. </b> If someone would like them to also have uniform operator tags, they can propose that separately. </div><div>Thank you to everyone who commented on this issue! I highly appreciated the views expressed, and believe that they greatly improved the end outcome of this change. <b>Again, if you still strongly oppose this change or I am forgetting something important, let me know before Thursday evening! </b></div><div>Leif Rasmussen </div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
