<br>
And as for what happened in the Telegram group, it was documented with pictures, and the administrators of the group deleted it after raising this topic in the mailing list.<br>
<br>
Another thing is that I didn't get a copy of your reply and saw it in the talk archive and didn't find it in the spam folder, which raised my suspicions that your mail provider might have blocked the message and the mailing list doesn't duplicate the message (and I deactivated this feature from the mailing list settings)<br>

________________________________<br>
Hello Abdullah,<br>
Thank you for your comment.<br>
<br>
<br>
Though I think having one `name` tag doesn't cover the super complex<br>
situation "on the ground", I like to ask some question about this<br>
approach.<br>
<br>
> First: if there are disputes over the name, the rule in OSM is<br>
> "On the Ground Rule" as found on the wiki page:<br>
> <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes#On_the_Ground_Rule" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes#On_the_Ground_Rule</a><br>
<br>
Here is a quote from your provided link: "simple default rule is<br>
whatever name are used by the people on the ground at that location are<br>
used." so here are my questions:<br>
<br>
1. Considering the population of each country on the gulf area, what<br>
percentage of people living there would identify it as "Persian Gulf",<br>
"Arabian Gulf" or just "The Gulf"?<br>
<br>
2. What percentage do you think is enough for a name to be _mentioned_<br>
in the `name` tagging?<br>
<br>
<br>
> the incitement to this sabotage strongly encouraged OSM Iranian<br>
> telegram group<br>
<br>
As I mentioned earlier, we never have or will encourage or approve of<br>
vandalism in other countries in our community. Please provide proofs<br>
alongside your accusations.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'll be glad to hear your answers.<br>
<br>

I don’t understand the course of this river, it keeps flowing in huge lakes (typically in a big lake there isn’t river flow) where it also takes strange turns, and why is the lake at its beginning then not a part of it?<br>
<br>
Cheers Martin <br>

What is shown here is the river modellized with OSM's common datamodel <br>
where a river is represented with a connected set of ways, some of them <br>
crossing trough lakes with a subjective path. What this simple datamodel <br>
doesn't show, is the complex water flow trough water bodies.<br>
<br>
I guess you are free to replace the ways with your own subjective path <br>
if you feel like to.<br>
<br>

there are (at least, and related to this topic) 2 fractions of mappers, I<br>
just wanted to raise awareness that mapping rivers where there often aren't<br>
(in lakes), is not the only common way of mapping. You could also leave<br>
gaps for example.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Martin<br>
