On the ground rule has a number of different interpretations<br></div></blockquote><div>Maybe. Is any of this interpretations leading to conclusion that Ukraine is<br></div><div>de facto controlling Crimea?<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>interpretation of "we check everything on the ground literally" is an<br></div><div>illusion of confirmation bias<br></div></blockquote><div>Noone claims that. Noticeable part of mapping is using aerial images<br></div><div>imports.<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>Anybody can look at the database and<br></div><div>you'll see that absolute majority of such data is taken from legal<br></div><div>documents, other maps (including ortophotographic maps), not from<br></div><div>observations "on the ground". <br></div></blockquote><div>In many cases it is not necessary to apply it - <br></div><div>it is used where multiple sources conflict.<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>Therefore on the ground rule has NEVER<br></div><div>EXISTED<br></div></blockquote><div>WAT? Are you claiming that on the ground rule is my<br></div><div>hallucination? It certainly existed.<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>, does not exist now and will never exist because it is simply<br></div><div>impractical. Therefore - FALSE BASE.<br></div></blockquote><div>In many cases it is not necessary to apply it -<br></div><div>it is used where multiple sources conflict.<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div> 2. OSMF is a SUPPORTING organisation, it has no authority to make<br></div><div>decisions on what to map and how. Therefore - NO AUTHORITY.<br></div></blockquote><div>In such case discussing on mailing list is a perfect place to do this.<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div> 3. Standing on the side of Moscow on this issue will AGAIN put<br></div><div>OpenStreetMap in the target of some EU, US and Worldwide<br></div><div>organisations. Therefore - LEGAL/FINANCIAL RISK.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>[citation needed]<br></div><div><br></div><div>What kind of risk can be expected by specifying true fact<br></div><div>that invasion succeed and Russia is controlling Crimea?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Do you propose to map Tibet as independent country,<br></div><div>delete Auschwitz concentration camps from the map,<br></div><div>etc because it is an evidence that some evil things happened?<br></div> </body>
