Executive Orders and Geography
1. Denali => McKinley => Denali => McKinley
The mountain was known for millennia as Denali. Then renamed to McKinley (first to support Candidate McKinley, then to honor him officially in 1917.) Back to Denali under President Obama, and now McKinley again.
That will likely affect some quizzes, like this one https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/273367/denali-national-park-quiz but I assume that Denali and McKinley are often interchangeable here. Legally, this one looks to be a valid, but obviously controversial, name change.
2. Gulf of Mexico => Gulf of America
President Trump plans to sign an executive order calling for all federal government maps and documents to “reflect its renaming.” Now I figured that had to be by international agreement, but apparently, "There is no formal international agreement or protocol for the naming of maritime areas, and no international body has the final word on maritime names, although the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB) seeks to standardise names and resolve disputes."
So I ask you, without bringing any MAGA or anti-MAGA sentiments, how do you feel sites like JetPunk (and National Geographic, news sites, etc.) should handle these changes?
For McKinley, we'll probably change it. We used to use McKinley, then Obama changed it in 2015 so we switched to Denali. I don't care too much, honestly.
