[OSM-talk] Advice needed - dispute regarding names in Cyprus

Thanks for the reply.

In the example of the village I am in I now have:

name=Ozanköy
name:gr=Kazaphani
name:tr=Ozanköy
old_name=Kazaphani
place=village
is_in=Cyprus

The "problem" as I see it is that the principle name tag is the Turkish name
which although in use for 30 years will not be acceptable to some ......

Hence the reason why I believe the user keeps changing it.

Also, is_in in Turkish would be Kibris, not Cyprus. What to do about that?

I hate to say this, but it is a sensitive issue and politics are at hand
here!
