In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico
-
As of revision version #85, OpenStreetMap has the following tags for Golfo de México:
- name:en Gulf of Mexico
- official_name:en-US Gulf of America
Just like I never called french fries freedom fries, I will never call the gulf of mexico the gulf of america
-
As an american. I want the option to display it as Gulf of Mexico. Like it's always been before that fat sack of shit was trying to win points wit hracists to distract them from the hand reaching up their ass to fuck them.
As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.
Also no on renaming New Mexico.

If he is just going to make executive order to change shit he doesn’t like and not follow the law. Who says I have to follow them too? Still the Gulf of Mexico to me!

Can we poll the community for alternate names that would enrage Trump? If it's gonna change, let's have fun with it.
Gulf of Veganism and Low Cholesterol
Gulf of Checks and Balances
Gulf of 34 Felony Counts
Gulf of Cheetos (let's get those sweet advertising dollars while we're at it)
Gulf of Insecurity
Kamala-Clinton Gulf

Comes down to the language/data of the user I guess

New Mexico? You mean "South America", right?
(Everything south of the Rio Grande is now "Mexico". Except for the
PanamaAmerica canal.) -

Fun fact, per the executive order, the whole body isn't being renamed the Gulf of America, only the "U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba". That is, less than the northern half, as indicated in this map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_ECS_Regions_2023.png

Next month:
- Texas -> Roof Tiles
- El Paso -> The Pass
- The Alamo -> The Poplar
- Santa Fe -> Holy Faith
- Nevada -> Snowed
- Colorado -> Red
- Palo Alto -> High Stick
- Nogales -> Walnuts
- Los Angeles -> The Angels
…
Paper companies would make a killing profit this period.

But you couldn't tell, could you.
I'm keeping this joke alive as long as I can, until Trump gets wind of it and actually does it. -

Literally no one ever called it "Gulf of America" until January. I appreciate the generally thoughtful conversation on OSM, but there's no reason that declaration should be taken seriously.

So now that is on the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It's in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.

Persian Gulf or Gulf of Iran?
I just checked, and OSM has it as Persian Gulf, with the alternative name Arabian Gulf.

They could add a snowflake option that when activated makes it display as Gulf of America.
