In this city: Veliki borištof

I'm sure there's no š in a Austrian cityname, which country must it be?

This town really is in Austria.
Lately he has been entering several Austrian towns with their Croatian names. Like today Großwarasdorf / Veliki Borištof in Burgenland.
A website, where you can find the two names of this town.

Actually today he entered notes from USA, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Romania and Austria. A real world tour. Is he working for an airline company or what?

Good that there are at least a few people in Austria who enter notes. You should agree with that.

Mistypes happen all the time. Some are realized only after inserting a note, some only when a coordinate slave tries to localize the mistyped town in question. Normally, we do not bother avij with dozens of correction requests (about spelling).

It is well known that the borders on the map are not accurate. The coordinates of Großwarasdorf are 47.5396 N, 16.5525 E, hence in Autria, more precisely Burgenland, which was part of the kingtom of Hungary for centuries. Veliki borištof is apparently the Croatian name. I don't know anything about special characters in Croatian names.
There are several users in Austria who prefer the Slavic names of Austrian locations, e.g., Dunaj for Vienna, Celovec for Klagenfurt.

There is nothing wrong with it, right?
