Ah, very well, I'll revert it

Diolch, Jay

I'd like to add, in terms of Bettisfield, local signage I see does not use "Llys Bedydd" just Bettisfield (even alongside bilingual street and warning signs) I rarely find sources for "Llys Bedydd" (with ones found either based on Wikipedia or very historical sources), that Wicipedia gives no sources for the name. The nearby SAC is translated to Bettisfield in Welsh (except WCBC which uses both B'field and L'ydd in Welsh, but they couldn't translate "street"). External sources say "Llyn Bedydd" is used mainly for a lake, and "Llys Bedydd" for an old hall nearby. However, if local Welsh speakers use the name, I'll be happy to or won't oppose a revert.

Many thanks, Jay

Noswaith dda,

I will go through the list again, maybe one or two names in the database I do not recognise as a local, (namely Plas Madog, which although reverts the anglicisation of -dog like in Porthmadog, I rarely hear it over Plas Madoc). Many of these places lack a sign (although they may share a road name), so opted to use external sources for their names, particularly for Welsh.

Diolch, Jay

I mean I'll support it, considering you've already done it

Hi, very well, maybe "rebranded" may be a better descriptor, as the board decided to call itself a NL, with no change in legislation. OSM policy advocates for "Common or official usage, especially for a feature in the natural environment"; I'm assuming your argument is that trading names aren't official names which is plausible, so I'll revert the change.

The Welsh names are used in English. These roads are only signposted in their Welsh names. These added translated names are not used locally. Furthermore, there is a Montgomery Road located a mile south-west. There aren't two Montgomery Roads.

Although I'd like to mention that the UK does administer its overseas holdings differently than the other countries mentioned (likely explaining the prior arrangement), and they don't form part of the UK directly, but there is no longer a British Empire or an entity above the UK, so an alternative for this relation is needed or it be reverted.

Hi.

The term "British Empire" shouldn't be used, it is an obsolete term. However, I do believe the edit had some reasoning. The existing "United Kingdom" relation is an odd one out in terms of territories, the relations for United States, Netherlands, Norway and France all have their territories included (ex. Antarctica). This relation should in my opinion be merged with the existing "United Kingdom" relation to make a final relation called "United Kingdom" (the preexisting relation) with its territories included, although if unsure put it to the community.

Hi, it was done in an effort to prevent renderers (*) from showing two labels for each community/ward, but such change to labels has so far not appeared to work, so the nodes have been reverted back to admin_centre. I will concede that the change for Marchwiel to a label was incorrect, as it is an admin centre, yet renderers still display two labels next to each other. I'll leave this issue for another time. :) Thx for commenting.

* some (not all) renderers have this issue, which makes me assume it is on their part rather OSM.
