Discussion

@Gotitbro and Ytpks896: I think we should talk to avoid edit-warring. Messaging the creator of the contentious map will not help reaching consensus either. Gotitbro, you mentioned the en WP in your 06:32, 17 November 2021 revert; could you give the link to the discussion there was on the en WP you alluded to?

This is the last major discussion when the map was released (or re-released rather). The consensus was that while seemingly disputed in certain official maps, it is an unenforced claim, with the only merit being of a single line mention. The major contention is that a consensus is required to enact a change on ubiquitous orthographic maps especially since it has been stable for years and the dispute is not recognized on international maps as such.

@Gotitbro, Ytpks896, and Veverve: I'm a graphic worker so I have zero knowledge on the actual situation regarding this or maps I create as requests. There is and will always be different points of views of most things in life and borders is one of them. Commons is this, "Wikimedia Commons is a media file repository making available public domain and freely licensed educational media content (images, sound and video clips) to everyone", it's NOT a wikipedia encyclopedia. This means that the media here doesn't need to be "true" as long as it's "educational media". It's really encouraged to upload different versions of a map/issue.

• Please read the whole of the following two pages; Neutral point of view and What commons is not.
• So IMHO everyone should stop reverting (for the reason here discussed) and instead create another version which depict's your point of you. Then it's up to who ever that want's to use a map of this subject to choose the version which they think is correct. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:57, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
