Yes, I think it is ok, mainly because benches don't usually have names and if they do, the name will not be "Bench". (This applies to removing the name while you're mapping in the area anyway - if you were to search for all amenity=bench name=Bench and remove the name, that would be a mechanical edit in need of prior discussion.) Some benches could have names that might perhaps not always be marked by a sign, just as e.g. some very old trees have names. It is unusual for a bench or tree to have a name but not generally wrong. > Object 2: > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turquoise_Water.jpg > Water, certainly no writing indicating its name. > Local name: nobody, because nobody lives there. > Mapped in OSM as: > place = ocean > name = Pacific Ocean > But Poles call it "Ocean Spokojny", French-speaking "Océan Pacifique", > so it would be fair to add the tags name:pl, name:fr, etc. > Is it OK to remove the "name" tag according to the same rule? It is a different case from the above (to be comparable with the above case the name would have to be "Ocean"). I don't have strong feelings about this but for the sake of usability I think I'd leave the name in place. Even though English is not my mother tongue I have absolutely no problem with having a name tag on an international thing in English. In fact I believe I have a bigger problem with people for whom this English name is a problem, because I would regard that attitude as fundamentalist and quarrelsome. I'd prefer if they find other battlegrounds to fight for justice than OSM. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33"
