You have aligned this one island with Bing imagery, but the three nearby islands were horribly out of sync with imagery and you haven't even made an attempt to repair them too. Why the focus on this one island? Have you made this edit as part of a MapRoulette task, and if yes, have you been instructed by anyone to do this?

I found this island through a MapRoulette challenge, I’m part of a small group who are attempting to improve the alignment of these islands using MapRoulette and JOSM.

Hi James.
There have been worrying changes such as this elsewhere; you simply can't rely on Bing imagery where it might be offset (which is anywhere that you don't have something else to corroborate it).
Can you explain who the "small group" are?
Your profile doesn't say anything about who you are or who you work for. OSM is a community - we need to communicate with one another to get stuff done.
Best Regards,

Hi Andy,
We also use Mapbox, and by using a combination we can usually make improvements to these islands regardless of potential Bing offset. Alternatively we make the decision to not make any edits in an area (we do this often). Can you point me to some of the worrying changes? I can always fix them if you let me know.
Thank you for the comment,

Re "worrying changes", you can see a discussion with comments at http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/imagico/diary/40759 .
Also, you're saying "we" again. Who exactly are "we"?
Best Regards,
Andy
