Dobrý večer,
How did you come up with an all-uppercase name for Letná, opposed to the previous mixed-case?
Unlike EA, I have never seen Generali, which is not an acronym, written in all-caps. In fact, none of the references I've found for the firm, this field, or the similarly-named field in Wien, list it in other than mixed-case, which is what is preferred in OSM, apart from acronyms.
(Yes, I know about exceptions like a mass-edit to ALDI) -

It is the official writing style of the stadium. Here you can see it for example, at the official site of tenants Sparta: https://sparta.cz/cs/klub/generali-arena/

Comment from freebeer
however, osm does not follow, nor respect, the so-called `official' writing styles, otherwise the map will become filled with marketers trying to out-shout one another, as that is all this is.
this was made pretty clear in a recent (one or two month old) discussion in the german forum - long disappeared from the first page - in which creative types chose to uppercase parts of words, which the community declined to accept as valid for inclusion.
i do not know if there is a policy docuented elsewhere outside of discussions, but if not, be aware that many osm conventions are not documented outside of informal discussions.
the vast majority of search result references are in mixed case, as those page style guidelines rule out the use of all-uppercase for normal words or names, which this is.
again, osm is not intended as a mirror collection blindly scraped from official sites and reflecting their personal perceived self-importance. -

This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 65209827 where the changeset comment is: The name is not an acronym, nor are the letters expected to be spoken separately, therefore SHOUTY ALL CAPS is inappropriate for osm. Otherwise, please expand the acronym.
