zhvlints,

You are an older mapper on the project who has made hundreds of edits to OSM. For that the project thanks you, and I thank you, as senior members are highly valued in our communtinty.

Unfortunately, you continue to edit national boundaries such as:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/171255708

You have been warned about editing nation boundaries, and this boundary in particular, and have been asked to contact the DWG if you had any questions. Instead, you have decided to ignore my warning and edit the boundary anyway, despite several emails asking you not to.

These kinds of edits can (and have in the past) created international incidents and put the project at risk. I am therefore placing a 24 hour block on your account.

Regarding international boundaries, see: http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf

Regarding this particular boundary, see: http://shtosm.ru/all/chto-s-krymom/

In addition, many of your changesets have no useful comments. In the future, please use meaningful changeset comments.

Failure to comply to these requests may result in further bans or more permanent action, which I think we would both like to avoid.

If you have any questions, please contact data@osmfoundation.org
