[OSM-talk] Crimea/Russia/Ukraine Borders

[Ilya Zverev]

Hi! Russian and Ukrainian community, including DWG member Eugene 
Sandulenko, have come to an agreement to not touch administrative 
borders and name tags of Crimea until 1st of June, 0:01 MSK. The 
situation there is quite unstable and will change significantly in 
coming months. Ukrainian president elections will be held on 25th of 
May, and we expect thing to be more clear after that.

Every edit touching name tags and administrative borders will be 
treated as provoking an edit war and reverted, users who do that 
repeatedly will be banned.

Sorry if that was your plan for coming weeks. Please do not discuss 
politics on this mailing list.
