[Wikipedia-l] OpenStreetMap's first edit war

[Daniel Mayer]

*grin* /me remembers the epic Danzig / Gdańsk naming conflict and similar wars (such as
Animal Names and capitalization standards thereof). The carnage...  

For those who came after that, see

And our detractors said we would fight like that over things like abortion or Hitler. Nope - what
things are named has been far more controversial.

Odd.
