If you think there's consensus in this thread currently then I have
a bridge I'd like to sell you ...<br>

Seriously, it is clear that there are things still to be worked out
- for example, what's the spread of Sardinian language(s) use across
the island, both in terms of use by people living there and in
signage? The OSMF policy on this is:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf">http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf</a><br>

The "on the ground" principle described there means that among other
things it's the local community who should have the greatest say -
most things in OSM are "bottom up" rather than "top down". However,
it's important to note that there are tags available (name:it,
name:sc etc.) in which to store names in different languages, and
there's no barrier to creating a map with that data. Many different
renderings of OSM data are available and it's more possible than
ever to create your own.<br>
<br>
I've just reverted the latest shot in this edit war
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/browse/changeset/41889305">http://osm.org/browse/changeset/41889305</a> and one of the things that
I found particularly odd in there was the removal of name:it for
Sassari by you (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.mapki.com/history/relation.php?id=40683">http://osm.mapki.com/history/relation.php?id=40683</a> ). I would
recommend to everyone to retain "name:language" tags for places
where multiple languages are in use simply because it allows people
to create maps in a particular language.<br>
<br>
Note that, as I said on the revert changeset
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/41891270">http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/41891270</a> The DWG does not
endorse either side of this argument and will revert mass edits in
either direction. For example, if someone tries to change the name
of Sassari to any one of the 3 other language variants, that'll get
reverted too - at least until a proper discussion has been had about
the current status of different-language names on the island.<br>
