JekaterinbErg is JekaterinbUrg in GE, but in reality it should be Ekaterinburg :) I lived there so it hurts me to see it spelled wrong...

One question..Are you requesting this city to be added ? :nana :p :cool:

MOVED TO CITY REQUESTS & MERGED WITH ANOTHER THREAD

This is Googles problem, not ours - we are only talking about cities we have added to the game, you can get in touch with the developers of Google Earth at The Official Google Earth Community (http://bbs.keyhole.com) :)

But still your spelling is different from google's as well... at least make it the same...

Blitz will fix our spelling to match GE's as soon as he wakes up :) I was referring to the other part ;)

Yekaterinburg (Russian: Екатеринбу́рг, also transliterated Ekaterinburg or Jekaterinburg)

According to Wikipedia.

Another source has;

Jekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk) [Yekaterinburg]

and yet another also includes;

Jekaterinburg
Sverdlovsk
Yekaterinburg

Is this like a local language issue - like Saint Petersburg being Sankt Peterburg in GE. I have changed the E to a U, but am not sure about Ekaterinburg, as it doesn't seem all that widespread in use. Google still calls Burma Burma instead of Myanmar - so so do I. Cambodia is also not called Kampuchea. And google calls Lhasa a Chinese city. I don't know the local histories well enough to overrule google, so what they say goes. I have changed the e to a u, sorry for the typo.

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (and 3 more cities)

This is the longest country name. Suggestion: D.R. Congo?

Only if it's a commonly known acronym, like USA or UK.....

I'll check on this, for now I have changed Kinshasa (Beezer's fault that one...)

Cracovie, Poland ---> Cracow, Poland

I think this should be
Belgrade, Serbia ---> Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro

Although, I'm not sure. :sealed What's the source for offical names? On GE there are two countries. And for years WE called our country Yugoslavia, and whole world called us Serbia and Montenegro. Then we changed our name into S&M. :growse
Is this also something that we in Serbia and Montenegro do not know? :'( :confused:

Sorry, I missed this post for a couple of days :eek:

You are absolutely correct. Changed.

hehehe - S&M :cheesy

?Huh?

Skopje is too close to Tirana and Sofia to add.

"Only on March 28, 1930, was the city officially renamed Istanbul"

"The Republic of Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea."

My sources say the invasion was in 1974 - and to this day Turkey is the only country to recognise the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" (TRNC).

Also it seems I am the only person that recognises the Blitzkriegian Republic of Blitzland (BRB), even though everyone sends me the acronym in chatrooms as a sign of solidarity to my cause, followed by a minute silence. And of course it's capital Blitzville....

If your problems are of a political nature, build a bridge. I go with what Wikipedia tells me.

What exactly do you want me to change? And why.

If you have some politcal issues you want to raise, feel free to open them up in the www.gewarriors.com site or PM. Not here.

The proper spelling for "Kiev" is officially Kyiv.

Here is the city's site if you need proof or anything like that:

http://www.kmv.gov.ua/ (you'll have to click the english on the right to see it as it is set as default to Ukrainian).

Thanks.

The proper spelling for "Kiev" is officially Kyiv.

"Official" is relative. The official English spelling is "Kiev" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev), and since the official language of the board (and therefore the game) is English, we go with the official English spellings where possible.

As Birq said.

Most important is to always follow the spelling of Google Earth, as people use that in this game.

"Official" is relative. The official English spelling is "Kiev" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev), and since the official language of the board (and therefore the game) is English, we go with the official English spellings where possible.

It didn't say the official spelling was Kiev because it isn't. It's just right now the most widely used. Read at the bottom...

as for the other comment I believe Google-earth also uses Kyyiv as an alternate spelling to reflect more closely to the proper name so that would also work.

Lets just use the city name that most of the world population uses.

Indeed it may sometimes be incorrect from what the original is, but it works much better.
Example I know: If Chania(Crete) was ever added to the game, the proper name would be Xania...but that would make no sense to the rest of the world who knows(when known) it as Chania. Though it's my second hometown, I would still prefer it as Chania, rather then Xania(or Hania).

I think SKopje Macedonia is wrong it s Skopje F.Y.R.O.M because Macedonia is a region of GREECEdiscussion opened...

Its not spelt "Hawaii"

Its actually spelt "Hawai'i"

You need an okina between the "i"s...

Hahaha, yeah, you spell it wrong yourself in your location!

Also I cannot use apostrophes in city names as it stuffs up the game. Archangel'sk, Russia was how we found this out.


Request denied.

Theo, your wish is granted - FYROM is changed.

Blitzkrieg

thanks a lot for FYROM

Just a note to put my name at the bottom so I don't freak out when I see Theo's name as the last post and think there is another misspelling that I have missed for a week..............

Don't mind me, go about your business.

Halley Research Station, Antartica should be Halley Research Station, Antarctica.

Fixed now, thanks.

I see just plain Surat when i search instead of Surat, India.

should be ok, PM me where exactly you get this bug.

Halley Research Station, Antartica should be Halley Research Station, Antarctica.Wait, aren't these the same?

Look harder.....

don't chatter on this thread, I need to keep my name on the bottom to make sure there aren't any missed spelling errors. (checking it every time I open the forum takes too long)

Since Montenegro has become an indipendent nation, it's about time to change Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro into Belgrade, Serbia. ;beer

for now they are staying together because they have a world cup team

Congratulations to all in the region. (I hope).

Belgrade, Serbia is changed.

Pogdorica, Macedonia is added.

I shifted Tirana, Albania south a little to make room.

You mean Podgorica, Montenegro (not FYRO Macedonia). ;) Yeah, I know it's confusing sometimes, there are way too many countries in the region.

Yeah, weird brain fart that one.....

I added the city correctly (Montenegro) but reported Macedonia..... Dunno.

All good.

Coul d you add Rivera, Uruguai. Its one of the most important cities in this country

what about worcester,MA USA :)

:rock If you would like to see a city added to GEWar, begin a new thread. DO NOT POST IT HERE. This thread is for misspellings or errors that are seen in current GEWar cities ONLY.
P.S.-ruthvik: Try using the search tool and searching for the old Worcester thread to find out why this city can not be added.
-Zinc, destroyer of Worlds. :world ;rocket

ok then i will look

Putting m y name on the bottom again.


This thread is for misspellings only.

Thankyou
Blitzkrieg

Blitz, I know this undoes your work, but why do you want your name to be on the bottom?

EDIT: It all makes sense now... customer service actually helping, this game really is nothing like real life

Have a look at Post #40 (http://www.gewar.net/forums/showpost.php?p=26604&postcount=40)

Brendo is awaiting Blitz's...ummm...bottom post?

If you see a big sign that says "don't lick power pole", do have a go anyway?

Chabarovsk, Russia => Khabarovsk

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10/20/2006 / 12:49 | United States' Department Of State Changes Spelling Of Ukrainian Capital From Kiev To Kyiv



The United States' Department of State has changed its spelling of the name of the Ukrainian capital from «Kiev» to «Kyiv.»

This is stated on the official website of the Department of State.

According to the Department of State's spokesman Tom Casey, the United States' Board of Geographic Names and other government agencies established this spelling for all federal agencies.

«The reasons for this, as I understand the board's decision-making, was that this is more in keeping with how the Ukrainians themselves pronounce the name of their capital,» Casey said.

He added that it is also in keeping with how a number of international organizations, including NATO and the United Nations Organization, now spelling the name of the Ukrainian capital.

I'll check on this (later), bump the thread if I haven't responded in a few days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kiev/Naming_issue_Archive06_mostly_finished_by_mid-2006%29

Right this and many other discussion forums later, it seems to me that the "correct" spelling is infact Kyiv, although there is still some resistance to change and the common usage is still Kiev. I will pre-empt the eventual change in common usage to change it now in accordance with the wishes of my friends from the Ukrainian government and the United Nations (not the Palau one..... Or the Tony Bennet one)


I have changed it to Kyiv - But don't think I am going soft ;95

it is Chibougamau, Canada
not Chibougamou, Canada

ty

Damn that was one of mine....... **FIXED**


Zinc is still the man!

Narsaq, Greenland (http://www.gewar.net/war/city.php?city=952) is not actually Narsaq. It is actually Qaanaaq. The real Narsaq is at 60°54'44.00"N 46° 2'49.00"W, but that space in GEWar is already taken up by Qaqortoq, which is bigger...

Grand Prarie (http://www.gewar.net/war/city.php?city=951) = Grand Prairie

Narsaq changed and moved to Qaanaaq (Which is another palindrome for GEWar) and spelling error fixed.

Thanks.

Danesborg Station -> Daneborg Station
