<p dir="ltr">One of the reasons I don't mind is: who would possibly use it? People in Nunavut, that's who. It should be as accessible to them as possible. If they dont speak English it creates a barrier of using the Canadian map. Not only that but the northern maps aren't that great as they are even though there have been efforts to improve them *cough* rps333 *cough*.</p>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sep 16, 2016 5:22 PM, "Andy Townsend" <<a href="mailto:ajt1047@gmail.com" target="_blank">ajt1047@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello Canadian mappers!<br>
<br>
The node and relation for Nunavut are <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/305700700" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/n<wbr>ode/305700700</a> and <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/390840" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/r<wbr>elation/390840</a> . The "name" of both of these is currently set to a composite of the Inuktitut and the Anglo/French name. Is this OK?<br>
<br>
Different OSM communities have adopted different standards - most have gone the "most widely used" form in the "name" tag (e.g. in places in Wales will tend to have a "name" that matches name:cy in mostly Welsh-speaking areas and name:en in mostly English-speaking ones). In some places (e.g. Londonderry/Derry, and around Brussels) a composite of multiple languages is in use; in still others (e.g. India) a "neutral" language is used (there, English).<br>
<br>
I did suggest on <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/41676348" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/c<wbr>hangeset/41676348</a> that the person who changed the name raise it here; that didn't happen, so I'm mentioning it :)<br>
