In situations like this I'd invite the new mapper to discuss things more widely (which Colin has already done on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/86624359 ) and then revert the changes pending any discussion here.

The new mapper is already aware of the changeset discussion (they've replied) so hopefully won't then just change it back.

Best Regards,

Andy

Probably? I am not familiar with the disputed territories process for Osm.

It’s a weird one as only the U.K. has claimed sovereignty. Others don’t accept the claim, but also haven’t made a sovereignty claim themselves. So at the moment, the U.K. is the administrator - and there is an absence of any others.

I’d say it should remain mapped as U.K. administrative boundary but also flagged as disputed.. if that can be done?

A new mapper has changed the status of Rockall, removing it from the UK admin boundaries. As I understand it Rockall is accepted as UK territory although it can't be used as a baseline to extend the EEZ. I contacted the mapper with a changeset comment and their motivation is based on "fixing the EEZ".

Wikipedia suggests that Rockall is considered (administratively speaking) part of the isle of Harris, in the Western Isles.

As Rockall has from time to time been the subject of a territorial dispute with Ireland, should we use the "disputed territories" process for Rockall?
