Proposed imports of website tags for NKD, based on ATP first-party data

I matched OpenStreetMap and All the Places datasets.

Several matching rules were used to get set of cases where matches are very confident.

In some cases OSM has no website tag or one leading to the main page, while ATP has POI-specific one.

I propose to import them and repeat import if more matches would appear, for NKD brand.

The tricky part is that due to my mistake import mostly already happened - I am sorry for that, that is obviously a wrong order.

If import will be rejected or not accepted, I will revert all such edits.

If import will be accepted I will post changeset comments on relevant changesets explaining that it was in the end reviewed and accepted. And make future edits based on new matches, once they will be found. This is especially likely for newly opened shops.

OSM objects were edited / will be edited only if

  • there is no website and contact:website tags
  • or these tags link main page rather than specific store page
  • or these links redirect to a found website address

Data is taken by ATP project from NKD website, see alltheplaces/locations/spiders/nkd.py at master · alltheplaces/alltheplaces · GitHub

Mateusz Konieczny - bot account - ATP import | OpenStreetMap already imports website for Poland in general and did some proper imports on USA. Editing is currently suspended as I want to cleanup one way or another this border-crossing imports. It took me few months before I had free time to write code necessary for cleanup, but I can now identify impacted areas. This thread is the next step for cleanup, some other brands in Germany and some other countries were also affected and will be also handled.

Comments/reactions are welcome both if you think that such import is a good idea - or if you think that it should be reverted.

Note that if no real reaction will happen I will consider it as a rejection and will proceed with a revert.

I think it’s a good idea. :+1:

I think it’s fine. On the formal side, don’t let it become a habit, but I don’t need to tell you that.
Thanks for taking the steps to investigate this issue and correct it. It’s much appreciated.
