Well, there's no edit war going on yet, but there's someone from China
who did the following changesets:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11769249
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11769301

The first changeset removed the Philippine boundary enclosing the
shoal previously set by Ian Lopez, and changed default name of the
shoal itself to Chinese: "黄岩岛" (which means "Huangyan Island"). The
second changeset added the following tag: note="菲佣去死!!!!!!", which
Google translate doesn't seem to do a good job of translating but
seems to be an insult to Filipina maids, I think. :-/

Anyway, I've fixed the name tagging of the shoal so that the default
name is "Scarborough Shoal", which is the neutral international name.
The complete name tags are the following:

INTERNATIONAL:
name:en = Scarborough Shoal
alt_name = Scarborough Reef

CHINESE:
name:en-CN = Huangyan Island
name:zh = 黄岩岛
name:zh_pinyin = Huáng​yán​ Dǎo

PHILIPPINE:
name:en-PH = Panatag Shoal
alt_name:en-PH = Bajo de Masinloc
name:tl = Kulumpol ng Panatag
alt_name:tl = Bajo de Masinloc
name:es = Bajo de Masinloc

VIETNAMESE:
name:vi = Bãi cạn Scarborough
alt_name:vi = Đảo Hoàng Nham
