Comment from NM$L
Hello @pukargotame,
I found you recently changed the boundary of China-Nepal-India but you make the boundary relationship out of order. Now China, Nepal and India has a uncompleted boundary so that the map can't show the country name in the whole boundary area of China, Nepal and India. For example, you can see that the boundary of Xisha Islands in the South China Sea can't show the name "中国"(China), and the same situation to Nepal and India. The wrong editor will cause a serious problem so can you make some changes again to let the relationship right(3 countries should have completed boundary)?Thank you.

Comment from SomeoneElse
Hello pukargotame,
Thanks for your interest in OpenStreetMap. I've had to undo this change because you broke the boundary of Nepal - created a gap in the orange line that you can see at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/184633#map=10/30.2921/81.0146 which had the effect of making Nepal no longer show up on OpenStreetMap as a country at all.
More generally, it's not OK to edit disputed international boundaries to what one side of the dispute thinks is correct. The reason that this doesn't work is that OpenStreetMap is one set of data shared by everyone. For more background on how disputed boundaries should be set, see https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf .
As that says, it's perfectly possible for you to create your own map based on OSM data and draw your own boundaries over that. One discussion about doing that can be read at http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/PlaneMad/diary/38176 (see "'Fixing' the boundaries of India" in there).
One more thing - it's very easy to break boundaries, and it's not something that I'd suggest that a brand-new editor to OpenStreetMap does. Try making small local edits first.
If you've got any further questions, please get in touch - you can email OSM's Data Working Group at data@osmfoundation.org .
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.
