Hello, I had previously noted this mapper's work and queried it. Since then, I notice that most of his edits (from 2 years ago) have been deleted as part of a de-duplication process (not sure how that works). This time he has introduced 4 more changesets which are generally poor quality. If

I have no real objection to the change, but I must point out that having Korean and English in the name=* tag has been extremely useful to me as a visitor to Korea. Other maps show only Korean. What I would like to see is an international version of the map which shows Korean and English for

Hello, I agree that name tagging should be fixed, but I don't agree that we have a solution yet. Firstly, name=* might not be in Korean language. I can give several examples where the name of something in Korea (for example, a shop, or a restaurant) is in Chinese, English, or French. So, I
