Reverted in changeset/143068938

Hello joyboy007,

Please do not continue this!

The OSM volunteer team has enough on their hands. These kind of acts do not increase the popularity of the Palestinians.

You probably understand that such damage will remain on the map, so what's the point?

Bonjour joyboy007,

S'il vous plaît, ne continuez pas ça !

L’équipe des bénévoles de l’OSM a assez à faire. Ce genre d’actes n’augmente pas la popularité des Palestiniens.

Vous comprenez probablement que de tels dégâts ne resteront pas sur la carte, alors à quoi ça sert ?

Please note that the quoted section is about ADDING ALTERNATIVES to the "name:he" and "name:ar" tags.

The Israel page does not override the general approach for "alt_name:*", but rather apply it to the specific case.

If and when a better translation/transliteration is done, that editor will determine which name should be in "name:he" and if "alt_name:he" is needed.

I'm very happy to know this is not intentional.

Can I help in reverting the accidental deletions?

Hello Mohamed,

In this changeset you have deleted 1336 OSM elements, mostly around the Israeli city of Sderot.

If this was by mistake, please revert them.

If this was intentional, please note note that it only creates additional effort for the OSM Data Working Group and other volunteers who maintain the map for the entire world.

Best regards,
Zeev

Thanks!

Hello Marc,

I believe "name:he" is more appropriate than "alt_name:he".

"alt_name" is used as an alternative to "name". Therefore "alt_name:he" should be used when "name:he" is used and there is also an alternative.

See alt_name=*

בבקשה אל תמשיך בכך!

יש מספיק עבודה לתקן ולא צריך להעמיס עליהם עוד מהצד שלנו

ברור לך שההרס הזה לא ישאר במפה, אז מה הטעם?

The OSM volunteer team has enough on their hands and they should not be handling damages from our side.
