While I cannot say anything regarding your other points, and, to be clear, I
don't oppose you in general, I would like to disagree with this argument:
Having an unpredictable mix in name will not degrade quality of anything, as
long as you provide the "languaged" tags, too.
Of course. The thing is, that we (overall Ukrainian community) do care
about having all three languages in toponyms (Russian, Ukrainan,
English), while the edit war started by silently killing Ukrainian.
Which brings another question:
What does everyone think if we go through all Ukraine and copy name
tag with Ukrainian in it into name:uk? This will be a huge
semi-automated task. Any opinions?
If it's clear that with that ukrainian goes to name:uk, I'm pretty sure
that will be a good choice - and that's what I proposed here.
And: I'm sure if anybody deletes name:uk, without the values being wrong
(e.g. because your semi automated edit wrongly copied a russian name
from name to name:uk ;) ), that would be opposed by a strong majority
all over the world.
The generic name tag is more difficult and has to be solved otherwise;
as I think Fred still mentioned, in the Palestine/Israel region there
was the situation where in fact name was deleted completely and only the
two "conflicting" name:he and name:ar (I think, while I'm not sure) had
been kept.
Thus: deleting name:uk containing correct values before is seen as clear
vandalism, so go for it and use the localized variants at least.
