Proposal. We should use standard terminology For the sake of consistency throughout this Wiki.

The standard spelling for Wikimapia should be Wikimapia and not WikiMapia with a capital M.

All markings should be referred to as objects and not 'tags'. However, the act of marking can referred to as 'marking' or 'tagging'.

	Object name	Editable object	Window name	Edit window name
Place	Place object	Polygon	Place window	Place edit window
Road	Road object	Road segment	Road window	Road edit window
Railroad	Railroad object	Railroad segment	Railroad window	Railroad edit window
River	River object	River segment/riverside	River window	River edit window
Ferry	Ferry object	Ferry segment	Ferry window	Ferry edit window

For the sake of simplicity, read-only windows can be called 'window' and edit windows can be called 'edit window' when being referred to in their respective articles.

The 'title' and 'description' should be referred to as the 'article'. RK77 08:53, 28 March 2012 (PDT)
