But in reality you are lagging far behind the current and official situation. I find it particularly crass that in two cases even the country name is wrong. For example, you still use the name "Swaziand" instead of the new name "Eswatini" which has been used for two years. Just take a look at the OpenStreet map you have displayed. (but here in the spelling of the siSwati language. "eSwatini"). And if you had clicked on the (wrong) Wikipedia link "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaziland" on the country overview page, you would have been redirected to "Eswatini". You also refer to the "ISO 3166:1-alpha2 code" in your "OurAirports dataset formats". Just have a look at it: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:SZ , there the country name 2018-07-16 was changed to "Eswatini". Here are a few more documents: * "The Government Of the Kingdom Of Eswatini" (official government website): http://www.gov.sz/ * Eswatini at the United Nations (for example in the UN M49 standard): (https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/) * Eswatini at CIA World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/wz.html ) * Eswatini at "Eswatini Civil Aviation Authority" * ESWACAA: http://www.eswacaa.co.sz/ * Eswatini at CIAO https://www.icao.int/Search/pages/results.aspx?k=Search%2E%2E%2EEswatini * Eswatini at GeoNames http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=Eswatini&country= So the former spelling "Swaziland" ("Kingdom of Swaziland") has been completely obsolete and an anachronism for 2 years. However, one still often hears and reads the name with less educated people and on less maintained or orphaned websites. So you should replace "Swaziland" completely on your page and in the CSV files with "Eswatini" and only if absolutely necessary still mention it as a keyword on the main page. The second case about which I don't want to write much here anymore is "Macedonia" which has the new name "North Mac |
