Today, User:Wynndale decided to do mass-rename of all pages in Croatian (Hr:) and Bosnian (Bs:) namespaces, moving them to so-called "Serbo-Croatian" (Sh:) namespace.
He did that without even trying to contact interested parties (for Croatian pages, that would be http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-hr list). Also, the so called Serbo-Croatian language does not exist (see links below). ISO 639-1 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes ) defines separate languages - Croatian (HR), Serbian (SR), Bosnian (BS). As he had not replied to his user talk page I don't know yet if it was done out of ignorance, or malice. I've managed to revert/undo most (I think) of the damage he'd done, wasting half a day to do it. Template:Languages damage will take some time to get regenerated :-( The (unasked-for) changes can be seen at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Wynndale (just look for "Sh:" and "Serbo-croat" strings) I've also documented the case with more info at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Wynndale http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template_talk:Languages#Languages_and_politics -- Opinions above are GNU-copylefted. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
