<div dir="ltr">I asked kiwiAs again if they would join the discussion, and this was the reply:<br><br>"No, I won’t be taking part in the discussion on the mailing list, for two reasons. First, participating in the mailing list discussion will reveal my email address, increasing the likelihood that I’ll undergo future online harassment (by fanatics pushing the macron agenda) - something that has happened in the past, which forced me to change my OSM username. But second, despite what people might thing, I really don’t care all that much about this. I just care about following the rules. In this case, OSM’s documented rule for the “name” tag, which clearly states that it should follow the ‘on the ground’ rule. But should that rule change in the future (and be clearly documented, like the current rule), then I’ll follow whatever the new rule says."</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 1:03 AM Michael Stark <<a href="mailto:michael60634@gmail.com">michael60634@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I wanted to mention that I did share the Talk-NZ link with kiwiAs so they can join the discussion here.

<br>
Certainly macrons are part of some official place names.<br>
<br>
E.g. Tāmaki <a href="https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/55840" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/55840</a><br>
<br>
Are your names with macrons in the gazetteer? If so, the "name" should contain the macron.<br>
<br>
Care to share an example of the edit war?<br>
