OpenStreetMap
Validate these beauty care shops
Posted by Chetan_Gowda on 21 December 2016 in English. Last updated on 7 April 2021.This changeset look suspicious where a user added lot of point’s of interest like amenity=coffee, and amenity=beauty shops in Mexico city, Mexico. The user used Maps.me editor to add data.
My colleague @upendrakarukonda has left a comment on the changeset 3 months ago and removed only coffee shops. Again, I’ve commented for the second time on another changeset. We didn’t observe any reply from the mapper since. So sharing here with the community to examine beauty care places and take necessary actions.
Thank you

According to the noobs from Maps.Me, in few years, all in Brazil will be “Casa” or “Minha Casa” or “Casa de fulano” (Home/house, My house, house of ‘what’s her name’). In this specific case, the mapper named the beaty cares. Only a survey to understand if there are these places there.

It is unlikely that you’ll be able to reach that person via private message or changeset comment, as it usually happens with maps.me users, while developers still refusing to implement feedback notifications in the app itself. On the other hand, it does seem like this information about beauty shops isn’t just someone’s imagination or a way to add personal POIs - most of them have names that sound like a name of a beauty shop. So, the question is, is this information correct, outdated or copied from Google (or another unacceptable source), for example.
