Hello,
You've changed the name here (and on some other places) from the name:os version to the name:ka one.Could you explain why that is?
Best Regards,

Comment from sos_ioseb
Heloo,
This is the region of Georgia with international law (Occupied by the Russian Federation) and the names must be in Georgian (name:ka).
Best Regards,

Comment from SomeoneElse
Please refer to https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf for details about how names are recorded in OpenStreetMap. In particular, note that "The OpenStreetMap community operates under the “on the ground” principle, recording
what is actually currently used in a particular area, giving preeminence to data collected
insitu".
Where there are multiple names in use we would welcome that these names are stored in e.g. the name:ka field for the Georgian language name, and you are welcome to create a map that uses that field in preference to the "name" field.
Only if you can justify that your changed names are predominently used in the areas concerned would it make sense to keep your changes. Can you provide any evidence of this?
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group. -
