==Rules for editing the map==
1-'''A source, reliable for that specific edit, should be provided'''.
<br>a) A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.
<br>b) A well-known source that does ''not'' have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) ''only'' for edits that are ''unfavorable'' to the side it ''prefers'' (''favorable'' to the side it ''opposes'').
<br>c) A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) ''cannot'' be used (is deemed unreliable) for ''any'' edit. This includes all maps (see item 2- next).
2-'''Copying from maps is strictly prohibited'''. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and [[WP:CIRCULAR]].
<br>WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources]]
<br>WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.”
3-'''WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated.''' If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.
