I support the change in naming from approved to published, but not from approved to "recommended" (I would if it was "recommended by these 42 mappers: ....", but otherwise "recommended" sounds even more official than "approved"). > > *"Approved"* means approved the tagging mailing list participants, a > small fraction of the OSM community. > no, it means approved by the people who participated in the wiki vote for this tag. It has nothing to do with this mailing list (OK, there is some overlap). Cheers, Martin
