Огонь! Ты крут!

By National Belarusian law, all geographical objects should be named and signed in Belarusian language. So actually, there is no problem with decision how to map names in Belarus because all OSM rules, Belarusian law and signs on the ground told us we should use Belarusian for name.

There is one problem with old incorrect decision to map it in Russian and with a lot of names described incorrectly in Russian.

And of course we should fill name:ru and name:be tags.

So, Георгий, this is the sign. I’ve started to name objects in Belarusian according to Ground rule since I moved to Belarus two years ago. You are free to do that too. :)

Спасибо за работу!

Что за жесть я только что прочитал? Х_Х

Yep, so what can we do for it? Just tagging those objects in Belarusian in ‘name’ tag is bad idea because many people are ruled by strange rules like this and it will cause edit wars. I think we strongly need support of world community or official OSM authority.

@Jay May, I agree with you. Unfortunately Ground truth rule in Belarus was usurped by little group of OSMers and we have what we have. It makes problems even for russian speaking users, because in OSM they see “Oktyabrskaya” metro station (Russian transliteration of “Kastryčnickaja”), but in all information tables, metro schemas (on the ground) it written as “Kastryčnickaja” (Belarusian names used on metro schemas and voice notifications). It is very confusing for russians who don’t know Belarusian! There are many funny stories where people miss Kastryčnickaja because they are don’t know that it is Oktyabrskaya in Russian language.

I think we should apply only Ground rule here in OSM, but we should do it in some official way. What can it be? DWG decision, Wiki voting, something else?

Отличный результат! Желаю дальнейших успехов :3

Не указывать улицу для домика в его тегах для меня - нечто абсолютно новое. Как рендеры/ПО с этим дружат?

@bigopenmac я лично думаю, start_date тут уместно, т. к. строения всё-таки были построены, то есть начали существовать, в указанные даты. Просто в один момент у них немножко поменялись координаты :3
