Operator "Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur / Veloway by Transdev" instead of "Véolia"

[V75014]

Hello,

I am a new contributor for GitHub.

I don't know how to change operator for Vélo Bleu in Nice (France)

name-suggestion-index/data/brands/amenity/bicycle_rental.json

Line 3677 in b9e9602

"operator": "Véolia"

The new operator is "Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur / Veloway by Transdev".

You can see https://www.velobleu.org/mentions-legales/

Thanks

Hi @V75014 and welcome 👋
These properties like operator are "tags" that end up applied to the features in OpenStreetMap - so we normally try to have them match the values that are already in use by OpenStreetMap.

OpenStreetMap contributors do choose all kinds of values for the operator tag, and we collect them in this other project:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ideditor/nsi-collector/main/dist/osm/operators_all.json

Sometimes it really does contain a legal name, and sometimes it just contains a short phrase that the local community has agreed on.

So looking through this file - it does seem that "Véolia" is the accepted value, and a change like "Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur / Veloway by Transdev" would not be welcomed.

The good news - it doesn't really matter much what the operator is, once the operator:wikidata tag has been set up and we can use that as the identifying value.
