Changeset When Comment
105704014 over 4 years ago

This rather substantial changeset reverts the breakage caused by @Laurenc%20Bostias in a series of individual edits, largely to the "name:oc" tag (plus a small number of what are likely blunders, such as removing valid wikidata tags). The reason for the revert is because the changes are clearly arbitrary (although at least they're well documented!), apparently consisting by and large of phonetic renderings of the pronunciation of random individuals. Many of the names do not even follow recognised spelling conventions (neither "norma classica" nor "norma mistraliana"). Bizarrely, the accompanying comments often designated the edits as "proposals".

In the process, I have had to zap a couple of changes that intuitively made sense and even restore what I suspect was a mistake or two in the previous edits. However, given the clearly baseless (albeit probably well-intentioned) nature of this user's changes I could not justify compounding the arbitrariness with my own unsourced edits.

> Laurenc, ai a te demandar si te plai d'arrestar çò que fas sus OpenStreetMap amb la toponimia auvernhassa car en primièr luòc, a pas la mendra basa scientifica (anam pas botar lo nom dels toponimics angleses o alemands o quitament franceses segon coma lo ditz lo primièr pepin que trobam a la carrièra) e en segond luòc pr'amor qu'avèm ja de grafias plus o menhs normalizadas que podèm trobar dins d'obratges rigoroses e coneguts coma per exemple lo "Grand Diccionari Istoric del Puèi Domat" d'Ambroise Tardieu o pus recentament los libres del coble Fénié, e que en bona part èran ja referenciadas a OSM per via de la basa toponomica de l'IEO. Dobti pas qu'as de bonas intencions mes aquò es una òbra collectiva e cal pas trepejar lo trabalh des autres, mai que mai amb de cambiaments arbitraris que de còps sont pas ni mai en occitan. Fin finala, i aguèt tanben qualques enganadas tecnicas qu'ai corregit, per exemple l'escafament de l'etiqueta wikidata.
