[Talk-GB] Users tagging Farmyard as place=farm (Was Summer quarterly project)

[Michael Booth]

I noticed via overpass-turbo there's quite a lot of place=farm to the 
north of Dundee, which seem to have all been added by the same person. 
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/inl

Many of them have the place=farm node on top of an unnamed farmyard way, 
for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3922104085 - surely the 
name should just be added to the farmyard?
