But that's the problem. They're not the same.
I've just checked all the schools that I'm personally familiar with in
my area, and the name shown on OSM is the name that the school has on
its name board.
Did Robert's update amend any of them?
I appreciate that's a small sample, but it's 100% right on that
sample. If you can find cases where the school's displayed name
differs from the OSM name, then by all means edit it to reflect the
displayed name.
But when Robert updates next time it'll change them again. I don't see
why I should have to keep on correcting them.
But I don't think that's a good enough reason to revert this bulk edit.
Part of the issue is that schools do change their names quite often,
particularly when converting to academies, but the old name tends to
persist in popular usage for some time. Popular usage, though is not
what's "displayed on the ground" - for that, we have to go by what the
school has put on its own name board.
Agree & not take it from a database.
And they are, generally, very good at changing the name boards to
reflect any changes in their official name.
