Please : I am not making anymore "bloody politics" than people claiming that the situation is damn simple. I am a swiss citizen (not a Serb) and I really like all the people in Kosovo (KOA as well as KOS and the other ethnicities). It has nothing to do with taking side or whatever, but I am just saying that is is a complicated situation and that our map should try to reflect it.<br>

Does anyone care about these reports ?<br>
I said it before and I'm saying it again, we can't monitor/administer<br>
the map<br>
everyday and you know this, we don't even have enough people<br>
contributing in OSM<br>
here in Kosovo and Serbians are using this opportunity to change<br>
whatever they<br>
want in the map.<br>
<br>
I don't think that you might want to loose contributors from Kosovo !?<br>
You have to report these violations... how much will this last until someone<br>
makes a decision ?<br>
We have already reported so many violations till now.<br>
<br>
<br>
'Location' is somewhat hit or miss everywhere. My own diary postings give<br>
some strange textual descriptions of where they were supposed to be located.<br>
The problem here is simply that there is no clear mechanism for identifying<br>
'where' a location is, so until all of the relevant boundaries are mapped<br>
and tested in the same way as the intensive effort on getting the coastline<br>
complete it is going to be difficult to fix some of these irritations.<br>
<br>
I've given up asking for a proper check on hierarchy place and is_in which<br>
would at least get towns in the right country ... rather than relying on the<br>
mapped boundaries ...<br>
<br>
<br>
this has changed, it used to be kosovo.<br>
it needs to be fixed, please.<br>

<br>
My point is ... does anybody actually know where it is broken?<br>
It is not the 'is_in' tag ... that isn't used to determine location ... last time I tried looking at this problem in the UK nobody seemed to know how the location was ACTUALLY generated :( It looks to the 'administrative boundaries' areas and so presumably someone has been playing with them? It's a pain trying to find what has been 'modified' ...<br>
