I think that this simply means we need much better name QA in the<br>
future, and must not be afraid to remove names that don't belong there.<br>
Until now we've practically let every language enthusiast add their<br>
names to places far and wide without asking for sources; in the future<br>
we should ask for verifiable sources.<br>
<br>
We're ready to accept a local person's authority about local features;<br>
but that doesn't mean that I as a speaker of German should necessarily<br>
have the (un-questioned) authority to assign German names to places on<br>
the other side of the planet.<br>
<br>
I expect that a close look at international place names from this point<br>
of view will probably enable us to get rid of quiet a few "Pont Neuf=New<br>
Bridge" type names.<br>
