Hi, We were informed by our national mapping agency of this concern. For a brief of background, the Philippines have several disputed islands with China one example is Scarborough Shoal [0].
The Nominatim result assigns it only to Sansha City, Hainan, People's Republic of China [1] To avoid further edit wars, we tagged the boundary as disputed territory [0] I believe the data is correct having properly tagged in an admin_level relation for both countries. Zambales, Philippines: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1504691 Sansha City, China: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2833102 I propose that Nominatim either display all the results or none at all (saying it is a disputed territory) to avoid confusion. Furthermore, we already informed our mapping agency of OSMF's statement regarding this matter [3]. This post is to inform the wider OSM community an seek advice on how we should best represent and show results for disputed territories. We already posted an issue to Nominatim on this matter [4]. Also, this is an appeal to connect to both PH and CN mappers not continue reverting each others edits. We are part of an international community and we should not be escalating this border issue any further into OSM. Thanks!
