A nationwide standard might exist in some countries, but also for Germany and
Italy, the countries I know best, I can

Apparently we have 2 similar tags for the same stuff:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crop and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:produce
Are there any tiny semantical differences? Are they both on the same

vegetables, like
Maize is a rarely used word in British English these days, you see corn on the
cob sold in supermarkets, not maize.
The only place you see the word maize used is for maize mazes, because it
sounds good.
For once I would go with the American corn here.

If I'm walking through a field of the stuff, in between the profanities,
I'd definitely call it "maize"!

Hello list,
There's a proposal in the wiki that money transfer agents such as Western
Union should be tagged as amenity=money_transfer.
I don't like this tag because of the over use of amenity key.
Many of the money transfer agents are banks or bureau de change, which are
amenities.
What do you
Maybe something even wider like:
service:money:transfer=yes
service:money:exchange=yes (because you can exchange currencies in some
banks too, not only exchange bureaus)
service:money:withdraw=yes
service:money:deposit_coins=yes
and so on..

Do you mean "in combination with an existing amenity=* like =bank" ?
Banks are also offering insurance services, or even mobile phone
subscriptions.
Sounds good -- if there would be a general financial services main tag like
amenity=financial_services (when it's not part of another amenity). Is such
used already?
Btw. I _think_ it should be withdraw_al_ (with the *al ending).

You can go to the limit with this statement and say that you should only
map addresses, but the fact a bank is on that address is for a different
database.
I think we should have tags for all things, and then see which ones
Hi Martin
Although the tag crop has a page if you look at it's proposal page ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Crop ) it seems clear the idea was abandoned due to lack of support. So it
seems strange that the page was created in the first place. However the user that created

yes, exactly.

Only quite some time after using winter_service I found other tags
regarding (parts of) the same issue.
To document this and make it possible to unify the tagging I created
this proposal:

I think it is pointless to have operator:money_transfer rather than a
simple "operator". The tag should refer to the object that is tagged,
and if it is a money transfer it will
