Many things we think of as "facts" are in fact somewhat subjective.
Things have a name or some attribute "according to" some authority.
London "is not" London, it is "called" London according to local people,
government etc. But the same place is "called" Londres, according to a
different authority
I made such a proposal a while ago; it got majority approval but not the
supermajority required. At the time, I said I don't think a supermajority
is possible. However, my original proposal would, I believe, lend
considerable strength to the OTG rule, especially in hot spots like Crimea.

Thanks Stevea, I really liked your examples. And thank you Mikel - I agree.
OSM already has substantial amount of non-physical but relevant information
(e.g. many IDs pointing to external registries), and as Stevea points out -
even naming for something local could be contradictory (e.g. two fairly

Without touching the Crimea specifically, I'd like to chime in that
"on-the-ground" (OTG) is a good rule, but in reality it must be approached more
like a goal to be achieved where it can be, as we must acknowledge that
realistically, this rule both cannot be and is not applied everywhere under
There's two different concepts at play, that OSM does not currently tag well
when in conflict. There's national sovereignty, which is a political concept
which in large part depends on international recognition. And there's de facto
control, which could result from military actions. For most of
Note, that I'm opposing OTG rule application to non-physical objects
as that is philosophically impossible as well as too unpracticall.

Hi,
I don't want to discuss this issue in detail but the on-the-ground rule
is an important cornerstone of what we do in OSM. If anyone wants to use
the Crimea situation (and any possible exceptions made from the OTG rule
because of it) to get rid of the OTG rule, or if anyone because of

Hello everyone,
As some of you may know I am developing OpenTrailView
(https://opentrailview.org), a pure 100% FOSS StreetView-like application for
off-road routes such as hiking trails which uses OpenStreetMap data to
auto-connect the panoramas together.
Recently I've been working with Trek V

So this rule is just for some specific small case(s) where standard

interpretation) was invented by a few without any

Hello
Some important points here:
1. On the ground rule has a number of different interpretations,
interpretation of "we check everything on the ground literally" is an
illusion of confirmation bias, especially when we talk about non
physical objects such as borders. Anybody can look at the d

I also support the DWG's decision. It is bad policy for the board to
