About naming, I am going to follow the same convention done at Caspian Sea: putting a name that encompasses all of the official languages of countries neighbouring to Black Sea. About the complexity of multipolygon, I think it will not be more complex than the Aegean Sea or the Caspian Sea. Also, while uploading, I am going to divide the upload to chunks via JOSM. <br></div><div><br></div></div><div>The reasons for writing that to talk mailinglist is getting input from the community about whether the multipolygon should be created or not as
