Revision as of 15:34, 21 November 2023
In an effort to create a sense of consistency across Ingerland can I propose we make a note here of retail and commercial company names so that other mappers can use them. I am working on mapping the centre of Salmouth and I'd like to add some shops and offices but I'd like to use brands that will be used consistently through Ingerland. —Unsigned comment by Myrcia (talk).

Discussion
Word of caution: some of the items added to the page before Alessa's clean-up were reminiscent of the early days OGF cringe naming. Likewise using prominent company founder names as the basis (O'Leary, Souter). And there also needs to be a certain level of maturity involved - coprolite (fossilised faeces), greedy and suck off for petrochemical company names doesn't really meet that threshold. /wangi (talk) 15:32, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
