In Gent I find the following in the name tags:
Henri Farmanstraat ((Luchthavenpionier, 1874-1958))
Vincent Evrardlaan ((Oud burgemeester van Gentbrugge, 1896-1995))
Guido Gezelle straat ((Dichter, 1830-1899))
Interesting information, but technically not really part of the name of the
street. (Nobody will add that as part of an addres). Still, I also already
wanted to be able to add this information. Can this information be stored in
a name:etymology-tag? And while we're at it, we may be able to add a link to
Wikipedia as well?
name:wikipedia=nl:Guido Gezelle
What do you think?
Iemand die benieuwd is naar Henri Farman zal op eigen houtje wel iets
weten te vinden, zeker? Google en wikipedia zijn slechts twee van onze
vrienden.
We kunnen enkel waarde toevoegen als we kunnen aangeven WAT die persoon
verbindt met die plaats - bv. Farman demonstreerde hier zijn vliegende
tuig in 1909.
No added value in simply pointing to whatever generally known source of
information. The one thing that would be worthwhile would be to document
the link between that person and that place. In this particular example:
Henri Farman showcased his aeroplanes here in 1909.
