I recommend you drop the attitude and threats. It's not helpful to you or your argument.

I don't edit in that part of the world anymore because of argumentative and hostile people like you. If the edit is in Ukraine and you want to change the transliteration of the Pripyat River from the common English name to something else, consult the Ukrainian OSM community and make any edits you feel are necessary within Ukraine.

If you are trying to apply a Ukrainian transliteration of the Pripyat River's name to the segment of the river in Belarus, I would not recommend adding the Ukrainian transliteration in favor of the Belarusian transliteration. I strongly suggest you consult the Belarusian OSM community if you do decide to push forward with this idea and apply Ukrainian transliterations to the name:en tag for places in Belarus, which ironically seems to be the same type of "colonization" you are referring to, but with different languages.

With that said, I won't be making any edits on your behalf, as I don't use this account or make any edits in Ukraine or Crimea for the reasons mentioned above. I'm sure that isn't what you want to hear, and I'm sure you're going to waste everyone's time and report me to the DWG for edits I made three years ago with an inactive account that have mostly been reverted, and I'm not going to try to stop you. All I can recommend is that if you are planning on making an edit in Belarus, you should contact the Belarusian OSM community before you impose Ukrainian transliterations on rivers in Belarus. I also recommend you be more polite, drop the attitude, and not threaten others in the second message of your comment. I don't have anything further to add, and I won't comment further on this, as I see it as resolved on my end.

Further update: Apparently conceding that I was wrong and trying to inform others not to make the same mistake as me is a bannable offense. Cool, good to know for future refrence.

Update: I have found that the sign for Chernobyl has indeed been updated to the Ukrainian transliteration, so as per the "on the ground rule", I have no issue with the spelling remaining as "Chornobyl", as long as "Chernobyl" is added as an alt name.

I will stop editing in Ukraine (excluding Crimea, reasoning below) not because of the wishes of Mykhailo Poliakoff, who you erroneously refer to as the entirety of the local mapping community, but because I don't have the time or energy to deal with annoying xenophobic nationalists. After what he said to me, I lost all respect for Mykhailo, and I do not care how he feels or what he has to say.

I have had no past issues during my long history editing in Crimea, and I'm sincerely hoping you're not trying to create one. As such, I see no issue in adding missing English names in Crimea and updating broken tags, unless the local (Crimean) community has any objections.
And if they do so, my inbox is always open and I'll respond to any message that isn't filled with slurs.

I would appreciate communicating with an uninvolved DWG member moving forward.

This revert contains multiple issues.

Firstly, you have no respect for the common English names for Chernobyl and Pripyat (yes, that's how they are spelled). It's not for Ukrainian nationalists to decide how English is spoken in a country that is quite literally erasing any other language than Ukrainian via their legal system. I find it quite odd that OSM can't use the common name because one mapper, who commonly used slurs and supports the death of children, has an issue with "Pripyat" and "Chernobyl" (again, the correct spelling). My edits were there for months until he noticed them on his crusade against anything that sounds Russian. It's also worth noting that unlike places like Kyiv, Chernobyl and Pripyat have not had their common spelling changed in English. Even Wikipedia, where the common spelling is used for the title and article, uses "Chernobyl" and "Pripyat".

Secondly, you reverted some completely uncontroversial edits. I'm not allowed to capitalize letters now? Perhaps capitalizing letters draws the ire of Ukrainian nationalists? Please do explain, because I'm not seeing any good reason for that revert.

Okay, I will stop editing in Ukraine (excluding the RoC) because apparently you decide to have bias and support vandal Ukrainian nationalist editors who support genocide and try to erase anything that isn't supported by their views. I understand now, the DWG condones nationalists who want death and genocide of children.

This relation is inappropriately tagged and most likely is not necessary to map.

This changeset has been reverted as it incorrectly modifies the name:en tag and incorrectly removes the alt_name:en tag. Please be sure to follow NZ naming guidelines in the future when contributing.

The Rural Municipality of Cornwallis should be tagged as "boundary=administrative" and not "boundary=aboriginal_lands" as it is not a First Nations reserve.

Hello, does this building exist? I can't see it on any satellite images.

You do not need to add a name to an item unless it actually has a name.

Yes, I have considered that. I'm not editing without doing any research whatsoever. It's quite obvious to me that different places have different naming customs. One thing to consider is that not all parts of the world on OSM are updated equally, so there's a good chance that you'll find something somewhere that has a depreciated tagging standard and that needs to be updated to match current tagging standards.

No, I wasn't asking why street types shouldn't be abbreviated. I am point out that on the two currently online sources you provided, everything except the name of the street is abbreviated. And that doesn't help determine whether or not the quadrant is abbreviated.

As I said in my previous comment, I will check the currently offline source when it's back online.

Correction: Western Canada excluding British Columbia.

tastrax, according to someone I've been talking to, this is not a Canada-wide tagging issue, but mostly limited to Western Canada and the Prairie Provinces. I'm currently getting more info from that mapper. He's been quite helpful.

hoserab, I did check the links you sent. For the first link, I can't seem to find any mention that the quadrant must be abbreviated. Maybe I am missing something. The second link is currently down for nightly maintenance, so I'll check tomorrow. And the third link seems to abbreviate everything, including the street type suffix (Road, Street, Court, etc).

I found a map of neighbourhood speed limits from the City of Calgary here:

Hello, is the bridge open again? If not, please revert the changes to the section that is being rebuilt.
