President Donald Trump just said during his inauguration that he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Aside from the political aspects, how does that even work? How does OSM choose a source for that? I’m curious! Also, somebody executed what I thought while I wrote this post:

    Hm, I would argue that there is no such thing as “officially” in regards to OpenStreetMap. Or are you referring to the name “Gulf of America” changing officially in the USA?
