[OSM-talk] Edit war, Mitrovica

Mitrovica is in Kosovo.
Kosovo and Serbia do not agree on Kosovo's independence.

A particular mapper has deleted the city of Mitrovica from OSM (most
edit wars change the names). It is alleged [#flossk] that this is the
second time.

I am neither Serb nor Kosovar.
Name changing is understandable, but deliberately removing streets etc
is vandalism.

I am asking openly for the mapper to revert the edit right now, but I
have already notified a member of the data working group because I
believe this to be a serious transgression.
