This edit was executed at 15 December 2015.
Proposal
I propose to tag all Blokker, Marskramer and Xenos shops in the Netherlands with shop=houseware.
An overview of affected shops in the Netherlands can be found through Overpass Turbo: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/d92
Rationale
The retail chains Blokker, Marskramer and Xenos have so far been tagged with many different shop tags. A discussion in the Dutch forum led to shop=houseware as best possible tag.
I will take the following measurements to guarantee community support and minimize the risk of incorrect edits:
- I will follow, of course, the Automated Edits code of conduct.
- I have created the current page to document this automatic edit.
- I have discussed this edit at the 'users: Netherlands' forum (link).
Technical implementation
- I will use JOSM combined with Overpass.
- I will download the data from Overpass, and manually select the Netherlands only. Subsequently, I will change the shop tag to houseware, and upload the data.
- I will do this edit in one changeset per chain with tags "mechanical=yes" and "comment=Correct shop tag, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Mechanical_Edits/Math1985_mechanical/Dutch_houseware_shops".
- This is expected to be a one-time edit. If the need arises for a new round of mass renaming, this will be discussed with the community again.
- I will allow users to opt-out. If users want me not to touch some objects, they can contact me in the forum or by e-mail. No opt-outs have been received.
