[Tagging] Facebook giving weird OSM directions?

[Robert Skedgell]

Facebook's check-in locations are separate entities and crowdsourced by 
a particularly dim crowd. When location tracking is enabled in the FB 
app, it will ask users to "verify" information about places, with simple 
questions which they still answer wrongly.

There's a UK Places Editors group on FB whose members try to fix some of 
the errors they spot. If there's an local equivalent, it may be worth 
bookmarking their URL and adding it to the closing comments on the note.
