Most reservoirs are called reservoirs, but the Votkinskoe vodokhranilishche is still called so, should be renamed Votkinsk Reservoir.

Secondly, when zooming from the 50 version to the 10 scale shp the Samara Reservoir is named first Samara (Kuybyshev) res., then simply Samara Reservoir. It's not consequent.

This is biggest repository in github ! More then 20GB !!!
Why you dont split this ?
Why you commit data db files ?
Github repo for cods and small files not this heavy files !

Some consolidation and splits.

This will ensure it's included in all the admin-0 themes. Now it's missing (only present in the scale rank version).

Hope you don't mind me opening an issue directly on here rather than posting elsewhere.

I was investigating a failure of some software which was blowing up when reading the 10m roads shapefile.
It turns out that my code doesn't handle empty points in a record, which is precisely what one of the records in this particular shapefile have:

import shapefile

fname = 'natural_earth/cultural/10m_roads.shp'
r = shapefile.Reader(fname)
rec = r.shapeRecord(8126)
field_names = [field[0] for field in r.fields[1:]]
for name, field in zip(field_names, rec.record):
    print '{}: {}'.format(name, str(field).strip())
print 'POINTS: ', rec.shape.points

Resulting in:

scalerank: 100
featurecla: Road
...
edited: Mystry can't be deleted?
name: 
...
POINTS: []

Obviously, I will update my code to handle a record with no points, but I wanted to let you know about this so that you can remove the lingering entry if you so wish.

Cheers,

The term Salish Sea is quite new, dating officially from 2010 when both Canadian and American geographical boards adopted the name. The sea comprises of the Strait of Gerogia, Pugeot Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Think of it this way, imagine if the Mediterranean Sea was only known as a group of a dozen seas (Aegean, Ionian, Adriatic, Tyrrhenian, Cilician, Libyan, Crete, Ligurian, Belearic, Alboran Seas, etc.) but had no unifying name. Well that's the case with the Salish Sea. A combination of a national border and somewhat unique geography likely prevented a unified name. Thanks to geographic societies and professionals we now have a unified name. Quick question: Is the Johnstone Strait part of the Salish Sea? Should it be included?

The mighty river Kama deserves a place on the 50m theme. She's much bigger than the Danube, Mississipp, Rhinei or others

Between lake Onega and the White Lake/Lake Beloye in the southeast flows rivers Vytegra and Kovzha. Nowadays they form part of the Volgo-Baltic Waterway but they are still proper rivers themselves
