[OSM-talk-be] How to request arbitration?

[Jo]

Karel, you are going to have to fly over to that airstrip and put up a
large sign next to it . Photograph it and hope it catches on among the
local population... (That's how I read Frederik Ramms comment)

I didn't look at the changeset. We have a description tag, if it's a
description and not a name. Of course if it's only in English, maybe
description:en?

Anyway, you made it into WeeklyOSM.
