<< review queue entry 3050 >> The current spelling for Ithaca is completely different from that printed in a 世界地图册 from 程度地图出版社. In that source the map for the 华盛顿－纽约地区(p. 172b) the name is printed as 伊萨卡 (Yi1 sa4 ka3) which phonetically seems much better than 绮色佳. I don't know the procedure for arbitrating between sources for geographic names. |
