hey kicking the hornets nest happens no fault of your own let me just give you fair warning though that the editor who initiated the move request has a long involvement in this and all those folks that are supporting this move along side you are the native german speakers who were adamant against any form of compromise a bit weird they all show up within a couple days isn't it lol the editor who made this move request regularly communicates offsite through e mail hence my suspicions anyway you'd think people could compromise wouldn't you i guess history tells us that some humans are not capable of compromise so anyway as far as your research and i'm not sure where you are based but if you are in the united states try dropping by a whole foods etc and you'll see that products from this region are labeled as coming from alto adige this is a marketing decision made by inhabitants of this province look i'll be the first to agree that both south tyrol and alto adige are used in english it is really about especially in the uk in the us it is almost completely alto adige because our interaction with bolzano is mostly thru agriculture here are some examples of alto adige being used and yes the german speakers can make similar arguments for south tyrol usage and we can go on and on and on that is why the original compromise was made to use alto adige and south tyrol in the lead paragraph and use the province of x location as is done for every other province of italy on wikipedia for the article but some german speaking editors could never accept this and want this article to match the german wikipedia article sudtirol ever wonder why they constantly remove alto adige from bold face and any statement recognizing its use in english anyway i really hate to even participate in this nonsense anymore but this move request is nothing less than abuse of wikipedia but hey what's new the same old editors are trying to come in here and flood the voting to change what was a decision made thru many weeks and months of discussions and to a naming convention that is clearly biased towards a german point of view so i don't doubt that your intentions are genuine dohn joe be wary of what is going on here though
