<div><font face="Arial">as an programmer my first bolean thoughts where
</font></div>
<div>so this tag can only be used if it is an english village, so if it is in an
english town or Danish village you cant use is , and also just if it is in
the center</div>
</div></blockquote></div><br>Ok, a couple of points need to be made here:<br><br>1) It's just a disambiguation page. It even says that the definitions aren't official.<br>2) Your comment indicates that there is value in collecting together these definitions together in little knowledge bases to provoke discussion.<br>
3) Yes, I think it's a dumb tag too. One of the legacies of its very English history. It would be much better off as a landuse=* tag describing it as publicly owned grass, with an amenity=* tag or something identifying it as the village green. But what can you do.<br>
