Hello, SomeoneElse,   
  
Have you seen the history?   https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/332658571/history  
It was initially added with an Arabic name, but in changeset 127308649, it was changed, and the changeset comment was only "set of edits." I don't see your comment there asking for a source or suggesting a better changeset comment.  
  
The source used was an eye survey, as I saw the sign in Arabic when I was there. The signs frequently change with each new mayor, on top of other factors like furnishings, etc.  
  
Currently, the mayor is Sahir Ali Jasim, who is Arab, and in his office, there is a nameplate on his desk written exclusively in Arabic. It states his name and job title as follows:  
  
ساهر علي جاسم  
قائممقام  
  
I suggest that whoever sent you the report simply comment on the changeset next time and initiate a discussion instead of wasting DWG’s time.  
  
Regards,
