Hi,
I did ask (on the changeset that changed it http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39039645 ) why the name had been changed from "Republika␣e␣Kosovës" to "Kosovo,␣Косово".Personally I've been suggesting for some time that places like http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/448554221/history should have "name:sq" set to the Albanian name, "name:sr" set to the Serbian name and "name" set to the name used by the majority of the locals (which in the case of Fushë Kosovë I presume would be Albanian) - so thank's for adding "name:sr" there.
I'm not sure about the new name for the country though "Republika e Kosovës, Republika Kosovo" seems to be both Albanian and Croatian? Is that what you intended?
Best Regards,
Andy (on behalf of the Data Working Group) -

It was Kosovo, Kocobo
I changed it to Republika e Kosovës because this is the official name
And the other meaning is Serbian
And I agree with you totally but I think e.g. Prishtinë/"Serbian meaning" is not a good idea because it doesn't look well
Greetings

No - look at the "name" tag on http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2088990 - it's currently set to "Republika e Kosovës, Republika Kosovo". I'm guessing that perhaps you wanted to set "name:hr" to "Republika Kosovo"?

no I didnt want to, i wanted to have serbian and albanian in the name because im already seeing the serbs saying " why not in serbian?"

Ah, OK. Not everywhere that's "officially bilingual has "multiple names in the name tag" (e.g. Ireland, Finland) but some do (eg. "Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera, Svizra").
If the majority of mappers in Kosovo are happy with "Republika e Kosovës, Republika Kosovo" as a name regardless of their first language, then great - but I'm trying to prevent an edit war in which people change names back and forth (as has happened in the past).

Yes I see your point, but there should be "Republika e Kosovës " and if this is too long, it should be "Kosova" so please decide how you want I don't care but one of these should be taken

Firstly i will send request, because there is no subforum for Kosovo, and i guess you dont want to be opened thread is serbian subforum, right, so i will propose freezing of namings of Kosovo, till that is discussed in the thread. Deal?
Link to the forum: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/
We will discuss about that, ok? -
Comment from marcknj
Of course we can discuss, I'm open for that. But what do you mean with freeze?

Hi,
I've suggested to the forum owner that it would be great if he could create a community sub-forum for Kosovo: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=592269#p592269
I know he's extremely busy at the moment, so please don't expect anything immediately, but hopefully he will get chance to set one up.
Best Regards,

Freezing with changing of the namings until we find solution at OSM forum. That place will be like guide for mapping of Kosovo, like rules, sugestion, help for new mappers.

Hey,
How can you freeze it? Can you also freeze the border? Because many times the border gets "deleted" and when will you make what you wanted?Thanks
