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

[Mostafa Ahangarha]

Hi

I would invide Alireza to follow up with this issue. He can contact me if he cares about this issue.

I disagree with Frederik on his last claim. DWG has changes its clear position Persian Gulf overnight. We need to follow this issue in a much more serious level to understand what exactly happened. It should become clear that why the cases of vandalism turned 180 degree over night.

Thanks for following up with this issue. I also invite Alireza to read the history of this debate in mailing list. Then we might be able to take some action.

Regards,
Mostafa Ahangarha
