He asked if it would be a source, he could use to name places in OSM. So I
forward this question and add my own.
Can we use i

No it has to be the other way around.
There is definitly a data error. Just have a look at the relations for B3 and
B31 or use wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wi

Anyone can map anything in any way he likes. No one in OSM can force
an osmer to stop mapping or to map in an other way.
So this particular voting can ONLY be t
The Russian OpenStreetMap users have proven that they are capable to
bring the issue to the international community when they need to before.
This led to a long discussion on the list dominated (again in my
opinion) by people having no clue of what it is like to live in Russia.

Did I say 'decide'? No.
As we have seen from previous discussion in forum and on this list
THERE ARE NO RULES ON HOW TO MAP IN OSM. Anyone can map in any way he
wants. That's an axiom.
Yeh, deleting is vandalism = deleting good data is forbidden. That is
the only rule (copyright questions are no

It's easy to misinterpret what non-native english speaking people say,
substandard probably isn't what the person had in mind.

I would disagree and say there are some rules, in fact a buch of them, at

This whole issue is absurd. Such laws is absurd (how "secret" can be
something that can be seen from sat photos? Huh?) and overreaching,
and our response to it is absurd. If you don't wanna map it - don't.
If you want to warn others about issues with laws - allright, very
nice of you, do it. But pl

Hi.
There is another one abnormal voting:

There are no rules in OSM.
So my personal opinion is that we do have right to discuss anything we
want about our country in out own language and you do not have any
f*cking right to call it substandard.
Kirill,
