OK. But when it's something this tiny, who really cares? :-) Last man standing wins a phyrric victory for taking hours of his time moving three nodes again and again. >>> - Military buildings and secure facilities >> How would these cause an edit war? > > Guy maps secure research facility of paranoid company X. Paranoid > company X deletes facility, etc... But is there really any question over what the right thing to do is here? There are two facets to an edit war: 1) deciding what the right thing to do is 2) making sure it's what the database shows 2) is initially a social and later a technical problem. It's far easier to solve than 1). But my assertion is that the vast majority of 1)-problems will be over names.
