One of OSM’s strengths is, or should be, that we are a truly worldwide map. Multilingual names are part of this. Excluding actual names from the map database as “ought not” is no different from omitting casinos in a stand against gambling or leaving the road number of the high street in your town off the map.
It is unfortunate that a few people have sought to limit the contribution of names by our mappers. -- Andrew ________________________________ From: Andy Mabbett <a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk> Sent: 29 June 2018 12:21:06 To: OSM talk mailing list Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] WMF: "Interactive maps, now in your language" On 29 June 2018 at 11:57, Simon Poole <si...@poole.ch> wrote: >> On 29.06.2018 12:18, Andy Mabbett wrote: >>> New Wikimedia Foundation blog post: >>> >>> >>> https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/06/28/interactive-maps-now-in-your-language/ > they should not be calling for their users to vandalize OSM. Nor are they. I expected some negativity in response to this remarkable good news; but this hyperbolic response is beyond acceptable. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
