<div dir="ltr">Dear Frederik and OSM Mappers, <br>
<br>
After studying this case deeply, I see the best option to solve this issue is solution "A/B" and here is why, <br>
The Mediterranean Sea had the same exact problem when the name was disputed, and all parties concluded that the best thing is just to remove the 'name' tag and keep the specific language name tags. While it worked and finally there was some "peace" then it
started all over again, and the general 'name' tag was readied again. <br>
After studying the Arabic/Persian Gulf situation I see vandalism, profanity, And whole chaos all from the Iranian side, So I believe the Iranian name will be added again over and over if we set the 'name' tag to empty. <br>
The reason I suggested the name "A/B" because it will have the Iranian name, so this will probably stop this chaos. Having the name in "A/B" will definitely stop it since the same thing happened in the Caspian Sea, and the dispute was over when the Iranian
name was in the general name tag with the other languages as "A/B". <br>
So if we want to solve this, we need to see other examples of how it was handled, empty 'name' tag failed, "A/B" name tag worked and worked in the Caspian Sea, and we don't see more Iranian vandalism in that sea. <br>
I hope both parties will agree on this, we need to hear from the Arabs and the Iranians about this. <br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
Li Yaqo. <br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have just reverted yet another unilateral edit to the Gulf relation.<br>
<br>
I think it might be best to simply remove the name tag from it <br>
altogehter. Then it will not be shown on the <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">
openstreetmap.org</a> map which <br>
isn't a big issue (many other water bodies are also not shown), and <br>
anyone making their own map can choose which name:xx tag they prefer and <br>
display that.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
Frederik<br>
