@MUHAMMED`sab I'm still waiting for your answer. You added hundreds of translated names, tens of them are clearly translated as they were descriptive names and these descriptive names are not translatable in translate apps as it's in Iraqi Arabic dialogue not in formal Arabic so you just put "Street xxx" translated as you thought that this is a noun not a verb. How can you translate from a language you do not understand? Please reply.

@Nawfal85 wait for a couple of days if he didn't reply then remove it.
As you know we don't have names in residential streets in Iraq, only numbers so this is a fake name, but just give him a couple of days to reply and see what he can say about this.

Hello again, Why did you change the street name to bilingual language while the street signs in this street are in Arabic?

126235884 over 3 years ago

Hello Bravo Mapper, Why did you add the Kurdish language in bilingual. Ain't this an Arab neighborhood? Please justify your edit with sources. Regards.

@Ghybu I'm not the one who added that but it is correct.

Iraq’s constitution, Article 4/Fourth stated that the Syriac language is the official language in the administrative units in which they constitute the density of the population.
English: https://investpromo.gov.iq/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/iraqi-constitution-En.pdf
Arabic: https://investpromo.gov.iq/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Iraqi-constitution-Ar.pdf

If you're too busy to read it, here is a quick and short text from Wikipedia that explains it:
The constitution of Iraq stipulates that the Syriac language is considered an official language in areas where the speakers constitute a population density. This is applied in the Nineveh Governorate, which is the main center of gravity for the Syriac language. It is considered an official language in the districts of Hamdaniya, Bakhdida, Bartella, Karamles, Tel Kaif, and Al-Shekhan, in addition to the Sumail district in Dohuk governorate and Shaqlawa district in Erbil governorate.

So I guess we should add the Syriac name to the other places too so it can be according to the OSM name rules that state the name should be in the local language of those areas, and the Iraqi constitution and the Kurdish regional government law.

Why did you add a descriptive name? you can not add "mosque" as a name of POI.

126126047 over 3 years ago

@Ghybu The law number 6 was issued by the Kurdistan regional government parliament in 2014 in their 9th sitting on October 29, 2014.
The law is clear and stated that all signs in Ankawa should be in the local Syriac language. and This law was published in the official newspaper and sent to all governmental offices around the region. This law forces all shop owners, hotels, etc to have Syriac in their banner. also forces the municipal department to put road signs in Syriac.
You can read and see the official governmental papers here: https://ankawa.com/forum/index.php?topic=784369

@Bravo Mapper This will be my last comment for you since you're being in ignorant here. I told you we are talking about this edit of yours here, but I'm just gonna answer you one more time about these points of yours.

1. The last census done by the Iraqi government stated the Arabs are %72 and the Kurds are %21
2. Because 'name' should be in the local language only.
3. Duplicate points are consider spam.
4. No, I'm local Iraqi and I'm from this City unlike you who maybe from Sulaymaniyah. You never asked me out to met face to face, that was Renas Azad account which this proves that Renas Azad account is yours and you have been Kurdification the nearby areas around the Kurdistan region. And you probably paid by the KRG to rename such areas to Kurdish only. The ones I changed are only the ones who was added in Arab areas with Arab names and the Kurds changed them to only Kurdish like the user Renas (you) and many other users.
5. Wrong, there is no neighborhood that are only kurds, the most one that have kurds are like only 50%. this is absolute not true.
6. You mean Ankawa, not Erbil, and the name I put is the only name in the only language the local use for the town of Ankawa, I added it in bilingual with Kurdish because the face that it's a town that are neighbored by Kurdish. You called this Syriac alphabet "alien" while it's the historic alphabet used by the same Assyrians locals in this town from thousands of years even before the existing of the Kurds and Arabs in Iraq.

Lastly, Stop kurdification of the nearby areas of the Kurdish region.

Also, can you please add back the name:ar that you removed for this street in changeset/63292043? it is when you deleted 82 name:ar names and 52 loc_name:ar in that changeset.

126223606 over 3 years ago

Hello,
May I know please why did you change the "ref" from 60 to 65?
as of my local knowledge we know this street by the number 60 only, did it change to 65? this is so weird. please confirm your source and if it's reliable.

Perfect! Thanks.

126190983 over 3 years ago

Hello, here in this changeset you changed the addr:city tag from Arabic to Kurdish for 47 objects. and changed the name of Kirkuk mall to Kurdish.
You are mixing your political edits with good changes which makes it hard for us to revert. Please stop with the political edits.

126079467 over 3 years ago

Kurdish language have 2 dialogues in Iraq, Central and northern, Central is motley used in Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, and Northern mostly used in Duhok. But there is people who live in such city and speak the other dialogue and we all understand each other. I usually don't change name:ckb and leave it alone, while if I want to add it I add it based on the city's dialogue.

126079467 over 3 years ago

Hi @SomeoneElse, he only changed one river and there is only one river in this area. My comment was for him and he know what he changed. It was about Khasa River.

126126047 over 3 years ago

Again we here are talking about edits in this changeset. if you keep being an ignorant then I'm not going to repeat myself over and over while you do not understand nor cooperate. I was being very patient with you, don't take advantage of this.
You are being a hypocrite here when you say a neighborhood in another area should be bilingual while you delete the bilingual from a town here.

126181005 over 3 years ago

Why are you keep changing objects name to Kurdish? please answer me, I've asked this many times before.

126126047 over 3 years ago

Again, you're not comparing apple to apple, read my comments again and read my messages, I've already answered this many time and even gave you examples of how it's mapped around the world. Please read carefully. Take a break and read it after your break.

126126047 over 3 years ago

Again, here we are talking about Ankawa town in Erbil, not a neighborhood in another state.
Also, please use respectful words.
