are you planning a mechanical edit ? if yes, you misunderstood https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct there's no vote for a mechanical edition. but you MUST consider the oppositions. I'm not a native English speaker, I understand the problem you are exposing (even if talking about imperialism gives the impression of a speech from the past millennium) and I even agree that there is a problem. but I OPPOSE your mass edition as proposed. Removing the name tag implies that each style/app that uses it will have to be modified to find out what is the most appropriate name for the place. And until then, all these name will disappear , which is not desirable. A more pragmatic solution would be to propose that each of these objects have a name either in the most common language of that place, or in the languages of that place or in a neutral language for example an artificial language such as Esperanto. to stay on the subject of tags, there is a proposal to define the language of a place, this is another fix to explore. for the wikipedia tag, it's the same problem. Saying that people just have to use the tag and the wikidata api to display a wikipedia page is a serious regression compared to the current situation. For places where you find a local language, it is quite possible to change the language of the wikipedia tag. for others, it is possible to point to a wikipedia page in a neutral language, at least if it exists and is not a draft. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
