Just wondering about the need (?) for disambiguation?

Ely Jacques Kahn[edit]

"After a fire in 1886, the building was restored by Ely Jacques Kahn.[3"

Kind of hard to do if Ely Jacques Kahn was born in 1884. He worked on the synagogue in 1946 according to his own page. Angecope (talk) 01:56, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial interesting article, on its way to FA I assume, on plenty of sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The image is licensed and says better what ALTs 1 and 2 say. The original hook is nothing specific to this treasure. My favourite is ALT3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Map in Czech Serbian?[edit]

For some reason, the NRHP map displays captions in a Slavic language (I think Czech?), so that (for example) Columbus Circle displays as "Kolambus Serkl" and Hell's Kitchen is "Hels Kičen". The same problem arises on WikiData, and I suspect originates there. I'm not sure how to fix this, so that the map labels are in English here on en.wiki.

@Bernanke's Crossbow: Thanks for bringing this up. Re. the map: it is displaying in Serbian due to an OpenStreetMap bug. There is more information about this bug at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 212#Serbian place names displayed on Manhattan maps, phab:T230013, and phab:T195318. Basically, the Serbian Latin-script text is overriding other Latin texts including English, and this issue can only be fixed on OpenStreetMap itself. Even more strangely, when looking at the OSM website directly, the neighborhood names are correctly displayed in English; this bug only exists on Wikimedia maps that use OSM data.
This has been an issue for at least a month now, and I have no idea how to fix the bug over at OSM, but hopefully this gets resolved soon. Epicgenius (talk) 14:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
