Monginis is already in the NSI under shop/bakery. If it should be under shop/pastry
, please merge the existing shop/bakery
entry with the proposed shop/pastry
entry. If shop/bakery
is fine, please merge the proposed shop/pastry
entry with the existing shop/bakery
entry.
For "The Sugarr & Spice", the displayName
is listed as "The Sugarr & Spice" but the brand
and name
tags have the value "The Sugarr And Spice". These don't necessarily have to match, but in this case it'd make more sense if they did. More concerning, though, I'm unable to find a reliable list of locations for the chain. Their website didn't have a list and overpass-turbo returned no results for any of the name variations. The minimum number of locations needed for inclusion in the NSI is generally 10-30.
P.S: I'm trying to figure out how to add the logos of these brands via facebook.
This is done via the Facebook username property on the Wikidata pages. Once specified, the NSI's Wikidata sync script will automatically grab the Facebook profile picture (usually the logo) on its next run as long as the Facebook profile is public. (If the profile is set to "visible only while logged in", the script will not be able to get the logo.)
Monginis is already in the NSI under shop/bakery.
Given the similarity of the nature of these businesses, I think it's better to go with shop=pastry
than shop=bakery
, which is further solidified by the fact that they advertise more about their cakes and pastries (and sometimes snacks) over their other baked goods. (Sidenote: Mio Amore was formed in 2015 after Monginis franchises in East India, managed by Switz Foods, decided to split up and go with a different approach)
As for The Sugarr & Spice,
I do realise that the difference in the name (&/And) might appear a bit confusing, but shouldn't be necessarily an issue per se.
It isn't the most pressing issue with the brand by any means, but it is unusual. Is there a specific reason why the values are different?
I assume using symbols for names is discouraged? If that's not the case, I guess we can revert to using "&" in the name(:*)
tags as well.
@Snowysauce can we go ahead with this?

It's not discouraged by any means. It's also not required for the displayName
to match the name
or brand
/operator
/etc., but in a case where the lone difference between the two is the word "and" and an ampersand, I think it's fair to ask "why" that difference exists.
I guess the only reason might have been that they have the Bengali name signposted as "দি সুগার অ্যান্ড স্পাইস" (emphasis on "অ্যান্ড"), which literally translates to "And/and" and not "&". However, I went ahead and changed all "And" in the English names (name
, name:en
and brand
) to "&".
The 4 brands are:
With the exception of Monginis and Khadims (both of whom have significant presence all over India), The Sugarr & Spice and Arambagh Foodmart has presence primarily in West Bengal/Eastern India.
Note: 3 of the websites can be probably scraped for outlet locations. P.S: I'm trying to figure out how to add the logos of these brands via facebook. In the meantime, would you folks mind adding it? I'd really appreciate if you could, but I'd probably figure it out by the time I add my next set of brands, or at least by the time this PR goes through, assuming there's no other issues.
