yes, I do remember this. I did also notice that there was opposition. I do not expect myself to tag lots of events, but I might add some, e.g. there is a place in Rome which is said to be the locus where Julius Cesar was stabbed by Brutus. I find this interesting and I think that others do so as well. We should face the fact that "starting your own parallel database" is often not an appropriate answer, but of course every mapper also has a responsibility not to tag his first kiss in OSM (I found this recently, take it as a proof that mappers won't restrict themselves even if no adequate tag is suggested in the wiki: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/895372910 (the name translates "our first kiss", I am not sure, maybe there is something there called like this, I don't know the place, that's why I left it for the moment and contacted the creator) > And then JohnSmith > enforced this in Map Features and tells now to others 'please discuss > instead of reverting'. Yes, I agree that this was not nice from John Smith. While I do think documenting all tags in the wiki is a good thing, we don't have to put them all on mapfeatures as well. > Someone else is also trying to improve the general description about the key > 'historic' in the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic) > which is something more productive than this discussion. Thank you for pointing at this. Actually I prefer some discussion before main key descriptions go into heavy refactoring. I don't think that adding a novel to a feature definition is a good thing. Keep it short. There is diary pages for the novels (or you make an additional wiki page, and do not hijack a Key description but rather link it from there). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
