Привет!

Ну зачем опять переименовали в станцию? Везде же, кроме видимо знака, поселок называется просто "Рожанка".
Раз уже мапите для нашей страны и хотите делать это с пользой, заходите в наш телеграм чат https://t.me/byosm, и там обсудим этот вопрос со всеми участниками осм Беларуси. -
Comment from Jay May
Hello Yaugenka.
Thanks for your proposition, but I am already in the Telegram discussion for a long time.
Remember we already had this discussion a couple of months ago with the DWG with a similar case. What is on the roadsign *prevails* over the data the administration has.
And this is again the kind of case where the Belarusian administration's data is one big mess. Sometimes it is outdated, and sometimes it is wrong (I had cases with 2 villages placed exactly the opposite as they are in reality). Hence, we don't need to confuse travelers even more with questions why they see "Станцыя Ражанка" instead of "Ражанка".
Those 2 villages are differentiated not only on the ground, but also on pre-war Polish maps (Różanka vs. Stacja Różanka). If the ground truth showed "Ражанка", I wouldn't have changed that. You already know my aim is not at vandalizing, just showing the ground truth.
As we had agreed at that time with that case we had discussed with the DWG, I left the official name in the "alt_name" so the data isn't lost. You already have a village called simply "Ражанка" nearby, which will only confuse travellers.Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
J.
