Lots of spelling corrections inline.
Also I wonder if the player_names files with country names (Europe, Tasmania, 8Tribes) should be made translatable.

I'm still against the removals. I don't like Twinkling Waves much either, but there are much worse maps in the set. I've played a new test game on Elven Forests yesterday and I can see the shortcomings, but those are not worse than what other maps in the set have, and I still think that removing it would leave a huge gap in the provided map styles. |

Thanks Nordfriese for proofreading. Should all be fixed now. |

My comments from CB didn't get mirrored... |

I understand and agree. It's a dilemma though, because when we make them official, the texts will be in the name of the whole project.
Agreed. :( |

I meant to remove the dot between v and 2. :)
The other maps with a version in the name have either v without dot, or just the number alone, about evenly divided between the 2 forms. They should be unified probably, but not necessarily in this PR.

This is a strange choice for the waterways. Though it may be intentional, because the tip of the bay is cut off from the rest of the shore by small streams that this allows to cross by ferries, while the bay itself can only be crossed by ships. Keep it as is or allow ferries across the bay?

The first half of this sentence is quite hard to interpret, and I'm not sure I got it right in the end. In any way, the whole sentence doesn't really belong in an official map description. Maybe:
A map of Europe that aims to be as accurate as practically possible in Widelands.
