The Raiders can be concentrate on updating the streets names while updating the segments and adding missing ones.

What do you think about involving editors from neighboring countries too? it will be a good chance the work together - teach and learn.

Thanks for the ideas.
Though there are active editors that doesn't understand much of local language, most of the City names, street signs in the Eastern Province are in English. The idea however, in having a dual language on street names and places is feasible.

Raid on!

Is it okay to add names in the City name field?

I saw every single neighborhood in Riyadh added as a separate city in the city name field with the form "Neighborhood Name, City Name"

I'm not sure if this is right.

I'm setting up some ground rules for names and addresses and this question came into my mind.

Dear AlObaili,

City field is for City Name, Neighborhood names are not included in City field, as this changes City as complete unit. This can be a community rule, that can be implemented by community members on each country in different ways.

There are several discutions of this from several communities, and you can check also the US Wiki for general linements (Chosen because it is quite complete and in english).

As this issue is community based decision, I would leave it like it is now, until you have more community members to make a country agreement on this issue.

There are much more important functional issues on the map than just naming neighboors.

I would suggest you use some scripts to find errors in the map to make pore productive the time you work in WME. These scripts are developed by the editor´s community and can be of big help.

If you are interested, you can start with "Validator". It will track functionality errors on the map and "light them up" for you. No more segment by segment searching, just quickly resolve the issues.

If you want to know more about scripts, you can visit the Wiki script´s page to learn more and find other useful scripts. There are many forum pages explaining how to use and get the best of all scripts. Some of them have been gathered together as in Toolbox. Both of this tools are a must have for quick and good editting.

Best regrds from Concepción, Chile,
