[OSM-talk] Crimea situation - on the ground

[Mario Frasca]

I see a linguistic problem … and people.

Russia has successfully invaded Crimea and considers it part of Russia.

but there still are Ukrainians living there, I suppose.  people who 
speak a marginally different language with a couple of differences in 
the alphabet.  (according to them, a completely different language.)

so one thing is the border, one other thing is toponyms.

a much more serious example of this is the Golan Heights.  try to find a 
name in the area which shows there's Syrians living there!

which way does OSM manage to show impartiality?  or make a serious 
attempt at it?
