Hi Tom,
I agree about the duplicate names, I just ran into a few in Liberia.
But I have another question related to how we should handle names.
I am running into several nodes where the "name" tag is one name, but
the JOG map shows another name. Now this other name is almost always
listed as an alternate name, and if it is not I for sure add it as an
alternate name.
My question is:
If the main "name" tag is different than the JOG label should we:
1. Change the name to match the JOG map, and make sure the GNS import
name is listed as an alternate name ?
2. Leave it as it comes in from GNS making sure JOG map name is listed
as an alternate?
3. Make it as fixme=Confirm name after doing either one of the two above
option?
Sorry to be so picky, but as long as we going through and cleaning up
data, I'd like to get it as good as we can.
Regards,
Blake Girardot

Scary time last night and this am. It appears I got cut off from the
Internet from Toronto outward around 9:30 pm EDT and couldn't submit the
results of several hours' work. I opened a changeset, but it got closed
at the other end before anything went up. This caused a couple of
glitches this morning, but eventually everything worked.
Checking over OpenStreetMap, it looks like everything is OK. I was
concerned to notice at least four distinct instances of Baoma scattered
over the map in Task square 619#187 and maybe also #205. I'll have to
verify on the US Topo maps when I reopen JOSM. This must complicate life
for the map users -- they would have to use the GNS UFI to distinguish.
I also note from memory that there is a Palima without attributed source
on the east side of the Sewa River and one further west that I took from
GNS and verified against the US Army Topo map.
