WTF? But seems to be a human :/

Interesting tag names… “add:Business Type:”, “add:description”, “add:phone”, “add:web site link”… Also, “source = City of Paso Robles” - does that make any sense at all?

“add:Business Type: = Internet Marketing”

I think says it all.

Reckon you should hit them with a cluebat.

Yes, the source makes sense. Look in the history - the building comes from an import. I suppose imports do make it easier for new users to add information…

So, has someone contacted the user?

Komentar od NE2 u 7 October 2012 u 13:39

Not I - I have no interest in arguing with a spammer</a> internet marketing consultant.

So, we can have a coffee shop put themselves on the map, or a restaurant, but if someone works out of his house you have to pounce on him?

What about a B&B, that’s someone working out of their house as well.

I think the edit should be reverted. If he wants to have a business name on his house, then let him.

I don’t think people are really objecting to the business name being put on - it’s just that it’s been done in a rather clueless way showing their complete misunderstanding of how mapping works.

For me, it would depend on whether a customer could walk up and do business, or whether this person simply works from home and maybe invites clients over after creating a working relationship.

As for the specifics, this seems to be a multi-tenant building. This can be problematic even in the case of a typical office building, but certainly a building is not named after one of its tenants.

Not usually named after one of its tenants, that is. Generally only named as such if that tenant is the owner or the primary user.
