Though your explanation is probably correct, it deviates from QMUL's own web site at http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/KHmemorial/queens.html
I'd suggest therefore that you get QMUL to update their own web site and update this note when that has been done -- at which point there should be no difficulty in getting the OSM title updated. Alternatively, if an editor happens to be passing, they can check the signage.
We could ask them to update it to use a better map while we're about it :-)
The Mile End campus map (Mile-End_map-May2018.pdf) on the QMUL web site now refers to it as Queens' Building. So I have updated it accordingly.
We should not be taking evidence from Google Maps:
.
a:) Its a breach of copyright
.
b) It might be an error
.
c) It might be a *deliberate* error to catch people that infringe copyright
.
Particularly important is to note that only the google map has changed. QMUL's web site (ignoring the google map) still shows it not once but *twice* with the apostrophe before the s. So the question remains ... until somebody checks that there's a sign on the building wtth the apostrophe at the end, it isn't yet safe to update OSM.
I think we might be talking at cross purposes. I was not referring to any information from Google Maps. The document I was referring to is a campus plan, published on the QMUL web site. That document lists the buildings on the Mile End campus and uses the name “Queens’ Building”. I thought that was what you were asking the note originator to produce, in your first response to him. If we can’t refer to that document then, as an alternative, I tried a search of “queens building” within the QMUL web site search facility. On the first three results pages of that search, I found 6 references to “Queen’s Building” and 19 references to “Queens’ Building”. That suggests to me that “Queens’ Building” is the correct name but if you prefer that someone makes a site visit then that’s OK by me as well.
OK, I found another PDF that appears to be a QMUL document showing it as Queens' so I think we can take that as official "non-google" confirmation and leave it as you've changed it.
