Postcards/Street names10 messages

When entering or correcting / adjusting the information for a (postcard) card, you must also enter a street name for a postcard. Do you have to use the old street names that are on the map or do you have to use the current street name if it still exists.

Both options are preconceivable.

When entering from the current street name, the changes in that street can be seen very clearly. The disadvantage is that you can not quickly see what that street was called in the past.

When entering the street names as they were previously mentioned and on the maps, you can precisely sort the maps of that street classification. . The disadvantage is that if the street name is not on it, then you have to guess what that street was called.

So I would argue in favor of using the current street name.

Also seems to me the most practical.

I myself had a workaround , but I just found out that the manager of the rubric disagreed :-(

That is also why I am raising this, because many of my entries (not very much yet, but there is a lot in the queue) have been changed. I had 2 street names filled in, the old and the new.

The disadvantage of your cited example is that we can no longer sort out at the Prinses Beatrix tunnel in Enschede. Difficult if you do not know what that tunnel is called now. If you want to enter that, you will be corrected, even if you do not have it in the details?

Then look up the Prinses Beatrix tunnel in the top search field. Unfortunately, that does not yield any results. Searching in the title field helps, but search for Beatrix /

An administrator (of the section) can add this (manually) as an alias or as a name variant. It seems to me to be especially sensible for old spellings (such as Amersfoortschestraatweg).

Incidentally, as far as I can tell, the name Prinsessetunnel was used in the course of the fifties (at least 1958). Nevertheless, it was sometimes mentioned on postcards as a Beatrix tunnel until the 1960s.

I (as administrator) made the choice for the current street name with the idea of linking the image as it was with the current situation. "That's what it used to look like here". That is why I also opted for the new spelling. Double entry is therefore confusing.

Entering as an alias is a good idea, but not all Amersfoortsestraatwegs used to be called Amersfoortschestraatweg. So more of a place for details.

It is less common for street names to change completely, but even then I would argue for the current name and a mention for details.

[Supplement] See for example: 464275 The written name on the card may have been misspelled. The street name stated in this way does not occur in Driebergen. To check this, I use Google Maps as a reference and the city archives - if any - available on the internet.

De gedachtegang van Jilles is te volgen, alleen weet ik dat sommige straatnamen bij mijn in de stad weer hergebruikt zijn maar is de locatie toch anders en dan gaat het verhaal niet helemaal op.

Als je bekend bent met de situatie dan kan je het aanpassen maar blijft toch lastig

Gisteren nog iets aangepast het militaire tehuis Bronbeek in Arnhem had de plaats Bronbeek meegekregen terwijl het echt in Arnhem op de grens van Velp (Gld) ligt

Ingesloten door 4 wegen hoofdingang is de Velperweg 147 (hoek Bronbeeklaan).

het is een landgoed, Bronbeek en geen plaats Bronbeek.

Jilles' train of thought can be followed, only I know that some street names have been reused in my city, but if the location is different, then the story is not entirely true.

If you are familiar with the situation, you can adjust it, but it is still difficult

Changed something yesterday the military home Bronbeek in Arnhem had been given the place Bronbeek while it is really located in Arnhem on the border of Velp (Gld)

Enclosed by 4 roads, the main entrance is Velperweg 147 (corner of Bronbeeklaan).

it is an estate, Bronbeek and not a place Bronbeek.

Ik wist niet dat er gemeentes aan recycling van straatnamen deed. Lastige uitzonderingen

I didn't know that municipalities recycle street names. Tricky exceptions

Als alias invoeren is een goed idee, alleen niet alle Amersfoortsestraatwegen heette vroeger Amersfoortschestraatweg. Dus meer een plek voor bijzonderheden.

Daarom heb ik een voorkeur voor naamvarianten. Die zijn voor de gebruiker onzichtbaar, maar zorgen er wel voor dat alle schrijfwijzen in de zoekfunctie een hit opleveren.

Om dit te controleren gebruik ik o.a. Google-Maps als referentie

Dat zou ook wel een leuke optie zijn, een koppeling van de ansichtkaart aan Google Maps of Street View.

That's why I prefer name variants. These are invisible to the user, but ensure that all spellings in the search function yield a hit.

I didn't think about it, but it works. I have now adapted it for the Amersfoortscheweg.
