Removing Trail Names

Sparks, I’d left a comment on one of your changesets where you’d removed trail names from the Appalachian Trail. This is not an appropriate thing to do unless there is widespread community agreement on the practice locally–there is no such consensus in the USA. Trails that have known local names are fine to be named in OSM. Even if there is a relation with similar information.

Please restore this information and respond to open changeset comments.

Thank you,
