    I had to have a look at the current situation, Gulf of Mexico currently has no fewer than 39 names listed

    There is also an ongoing discussion about the executive order. From what I saw it seems to be leaning in favour of adding an official_name:en-US tag if the order gets recognised by a relevant body e.g the US Board of Geographic names. Notably this is not the primary name tag.

      Absolutely disgusting how many people there are taking this at all seriously

      Use Facist_Name as the tag, as is accurate, and be done with it
