I'm not familiar with the "one point, one name rule for bodies of seawater". Where can I read more about it?

Comment from DENelson83
It is a rule I use when naming bodies of seawater. Any point on the sea is allowed to have a maximum of one name associated with it.

Oh, it's just a personal rule you use for yourself, not a general OSM one? I think it should have more general acceptance to change the names of bodies of water like you have with this changeset.

I've posted my question to https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/83528/
Feel free to comment there, if you would like.

(prompted to come here by the help question)
The relevant OSM wiki page is https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element - essentially you wouldn't add 2 things in OSM for one thing in the real world. However, that page doesn't say that a patch of water can't be part of 2 larger sea areas - the bits of harbour here obviously are bits of harbour, but they're also part of the larger fjord. -
Comment from keithonearth
I see that DENelson83 has made some more significant restructuring of the named parts of Burrard Inlet with the changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/13828327
This uses parent relations to create a complex structure, with no advantage. The fundamental issue with these changes is that there is no "one point, one name" rule. As has been pointed out in the help article and the above comment.
