[OSM-talk] name update request [خلیج فارس]

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

this is not an issue of "right" or "wrong", and not a matter that can 
simply be "corrected". OSM is a project for all humanity and needs to 
consider all opinions and find the best way forward. We do not blindly 
follow "official" UN documents either.

Bye
Frederik
