Apparently, Raye (the singer) has put up a plaque on the Nightingale pub in Balham to commemorate her ex. As usual, unlike random people on Instagram, I cannot publish an image on #openplaques until an Open Data licenced one is available. The data record awaits.

today's additions to #OpenPlaques include twin plaques to Terry Higgins in Haverfordwest whom the Terence Higgins Trust was named after. I've swithered over whether to generate fedi activity feeds for this sort of addition because, by design, we don't have a photo yet and I think that casual viewers would want to see it.

#OpenPlaques now links plaque records to #OpenStreetMap nodes and accepts their geolocation as *the* most accurate position of all Open Data (Flickr, Geograph, Wikimedia Commons, OSM, OpenPlaques).

The openplaques:id OSM key has existed for a long time enabling Linked Open Data queries to get plaque details. This hasn't stopped some OSMers from adding more and more attributes within OSM itself. C'est la vie. That's life on the edge of the map (data).

hmmm, 13000 users of #openplaques this month were from Lanzhou, China. Not suspicious at all, no. (AI crawler botnet)

#openplaques has used AWS Comprehend for a number of years. It now let's you start creating a new subject direct from its suggestions. I'm trying to improve the workflow of plaque curation so that we can widen the pool of curators.

A subtle (too subtle?) UI improvement for #openplaques curators. You can now tell which plaques don't have a geolocation and/or subjects connected to them. There is also a view where you can list solely the ones left to curate.

Some very dedicated self-commemoration going on..... cc/ @openbenches.org #openplaques

A small usability update for #openplaques editors -> when you create a new person it remembers which plaque you are working on, then passes back and fills in the newly created name to the new connection.
