I say its best to look at the 'what people have tagged' list when doing religion or denomination.<br>That way if your unsure about how to tag something(likely to be you don't go to the place but were mapping the area) then you can see which option the majority have been tagged as.
<br>Could the list perhaps be updated, as I suspect a good number of more places have been tagged, and it may inflluence this current discussion.<br><br>I would go with correcting the obvious capitilisation errors and spelling if any.
<br>Also note that in some places (e.g. other countries) the distribution of denominations/religions may be different and value more precise tagging.<br><br>Gregory (LastGrape)<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/12/07,

Hi,<br><br>> I've updated this page which purports to contain the definitive<br>> list of<br>> denominations:<br><br>The page explicitly says "this list is not exhaustive" - what makes<br>you say it "purports to contain the definitive list"?
<br><br>> 1) Is it possible? Or would it involve grepping the planet,<br>> downloading the<br>> areas in JOSM and doing it all manually?<br><br>Given a wishlist of translations I can certainly make all these<br>changes automatically, or provide a script that does.
<br><br>However I would exercise extreme caution here and suggest to change<br>only the most obvious spelling and/or capitalisation errors. Religion<br>is something that many people are prepared to kill and die for, and<br>
even if they're peaceful they can be offended easily. Whether<br>something is a religion or a denomination (or a "sect") is not always<br>a fact, and even if it were a fact, some people might be offended if<br>
someone states the fact... very muddy terrain in fact, best avoided.<br><br>Bye<br>Frederik<br><br>--<br>Frederik Ramm ## eMail <a href="mailto:frederik@remote.org">frederik@remote.org</a> ## N49°00.09' E008°23.33'
