So he's asking if you know the names of the missing street.
and closing the note.

Therefor you need to have a login to reopen in order to be able to
comment and it will disappear after one week.

Not the best way to get an answer.



... which is exactly the problem here - closing notes in this way just seems downright rude. I'm sure that it's done with the best of intentions
I think this might be an important point, I myself who have not accessed the OSM-tools the French have which show all missing names etc (I use similar tools for Iceland granted) and am unaware of all the OSM-related datasets and procedures found this to be a tad rude to close it thus.

But I completely understand the viewpoint of JB who looks at all the tools he has bookmarked. However he might consider that others do not have those bookmarks, do not have all that information, procedures, know-how and it is them that contribute to Notes, both by opening and commenting and resolving them.

I've had random people close Notes I created because they happened to be there or knew the place or contributed via remote mapping (like when I say "continue this road" or "continue this river").

We need to have faith in the good intentions of others, my Note was made in sincerity since I noticed adjacent streets had names, others contribute Notes in that same good faith. Whether or not there are other tools available that make some of the Notes surplus to requirements is besides the point there in my mind.
