[talk-au] Maproullette challenge for feedback - Australian Brands without Wikidata

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Daniel,

 

Great idea however I think it might be better in smaller ‘state’ chunks. I would have no worries doing all those in Tasmania (as I travel around a lot and probably know most of them) but would be reluctant to do mainland locations without any personal knowledge.

 

Banks would be another good one given how they seem to be closing smaller branches around the place – again at a state level.

 

Cheers - Phil

Hey folks,
Since ID now includes some handy presets and some recommendations to "upgrade tags", I thought I'd trial out a challenge to find all Woolworths supermarkets without wikidata.

 

https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8118  

1) Is this kind of challenge and the resulting armchair mapping of interest?
2) If so, what Australian retail brand(s) would you include (banks, supermarkets, fast food, etc) in later challenges?
3) Are there any big negatives to this people can think of?

The main motivation I have is for when mid to large sized chains go out of business, get bought or renamed - a single Brand key makes it a lot easier to find things for later survey/cleanup/etc.
