Hi Blake and Russell, thanks...you have pointed me to the lists I need to approach regarding this. Great help and saved me a lot of nosing around. I understand some of the problems of waterways. As Senior Cartographer for Philip's World Reference Atlases I had to find a happy medium trying to make one size fit all so that each geographic feature is represented the same throughout the atlas even though it may be called something different with slightly adjusted definitions in each country. The rendering on the map is a lot easier to sort than the tagging where each person is looking for their local name on the tag. A wadi/gulch/dry water channel/arroyo/wash or whatever it is called can still have the same symbol to depict it. You picked up my direction..that there is two separate issues here... the visual depiction on the map..... and the tagging to assist electronic addressing (tying the tag to the different names so that the search picks up wadi, or whatever is chosen, as being all of those things despite slight variations in definitions) I have now signed up to the tagging lists so I can keep up with what is happening there and can also approach the correct people regarding the rendering on the map. Russell...your pointer was fine and I did quickly find the archived thread which is relevant to my proposal. Again...thanks for the help.
