It seems you Mai-Sachme, can only try to defame others, and try to instigate bad feelings towards others, instead of acting civil.  What you do here is simply a personal attack.  It is like the type of person who goes and talks bad about others behind their back...

 Alto Adige/South Tyrol 

I replied to your message on the page.  Look, you don't even know me, nor do I you.  I can respect your point of view on things, but I'd appreciate that you respect my desire for a compromise.  I finally see your statement above about San Francisco.  Can't you see that you are letting your personal politics get involved with the naming of a page on English Wikipedia?  I'm sorry, but whatever the history, Alto Adige is actually the more commonly used name in the United States.  Also, as a Ladin myself, of US origin, I have no desire to play this Italian versus German game.  History is what it is, and to be honest, the Ladin speakers were there WAY before anyone was speaking Italian in the region, or when Germans migrating to the area.  So, to me even Sudtirol is from an alien authority, if you want to be entirely accurate.  But why this constant ethnic tension in Europe?  Sudtirol sounds nice, Tyrol is nice, Alto Adige is nice.  From someone looking into the Province of Bolzano, what I feel I'm seeing is some really radical politics.  I've been told by friends in Trentino that "Italians" don't feel welcome there.  Ironic, because you know the Italian speakers of Trentino are actually Ladin too.  They didn't suddenly appear out of thin air, you do remember Italian is a national language that came over the Italic peninsula some century ago, right?
