This is an error, but I don’t know how to deal with it.



The first thing that I'd do would be to find the change that introduced 
the problem, identify the mapper concerned (which can be tricky where 
there are lots of changes) and explain to them (via a changeset 
discussion comment is often best, because it's public) why what they did 
was incorrect.  From there I'd link to where the Japanese community 
discusses boundaries (which might be the wiki, but often is somewhere else).


You can use this to look at the history of relations:

and if the changeset concerned is (as it appears to be at first glance) 
this one:


http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22663880

you can mention something about accurate changeset comments too :)

It's also perhaps worth mentioning this sub-forum:

http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=29724

where as well as international boundaries, problems caused by other 
boundaries are also sometimes discussed.


Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for the help Andy I'll look over it in the morning. ^^

The only official thing I have, and where I got the information for the admin 
level, is the wiki page I linked to for Japan tagging.

Hello,

+1 to Javbw. I'm completely same opinion  feeling of you.

admin_level=3 is reserved bit for future state.
I guess Japanese community has consensus on it, and AFAIK there was no
further discussion had be done.

I've took a look on admin_level=3 edits.
Mainly done by him.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/etajin

sample.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/532759

He did many boundary  place  national park edits,
including some mistakes.

I had contacted him once via changeset comment, but I could not have
response.
(He can read Japanese, and meybe English.)

I'll mention this issue to talk-ja.
If you could got response from him, please tell us.

Regards,
