Proposal
I am proposing to correct the spelling of some chain shops within the Netherlands. For shops for which there is no consistency in how the shop is spelled or capitalized in OSM, I propose to follow the spelling on the shop's own website. This would entail the following changes:
- We -> WE
- Hema -> HEMA
- LIDL -> Lidl
- Plus -> PLUS
- Spar -> SPAR
- Aldi -> ALDI
- EkoPlaza -> Ekoplaza
- Emté -> EMTÉ
- D-Reizen -> D-reizen
- Mediamarkt -> Media Markt
- Leenbakker -> Leen Bakker
- Cool Cat -> CoolCat
- Coolcat -> CoolCat
- Aktie Sport -> Aktiesport
An overview of affected shops in the Netherlands can be found through Overpass Turbo: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cS4
Rationale
Some chain stores are commonly misspelled. Removing the spelling mistakes improves data quality and makes life easier for data consumers.
Some information:

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 will discuss this edit at the 'users: Netherlands' forum (link).
Technical implementation
- I will use JOSM combined with Overpass.
- I will download the data from Overpass, manually select the Netherlands only, and run the name="SHOPNAME" shop=* filter. Subsequently, I will change the name tag, and upload the data.
- I will do this edit in one changeset per shop, with tags "mechanical=yes" and "comment=OLDNAME -> NEWNAME - Use consistent name for chain stores in the Netherlands, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Mechanical_Edits/Math1985/Dutch_Shop_Names_2".
- 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 particular objects or areas, they can contact me in the forum or by e-mail.
