163022886	5 months ago	First, we should discuss this in English. Second, it doesn't matter what other maps do, we have our own rules in OSM. If there is a difference in opinion of how something is to be mapped, that's okay, then we should discuss that. But a change of this magnitude isn't something that you can just do without discussion. As a side effect of this change the coastline processing is currently stalled which means that most OSM maps worldwide will not get updates to any coastline worldwide until this is resolved. That is not a good situation. So please revert this change and then start a discussion on the community forum about the different interpretation of where the coastline should be.
163022886	5 months ago	This changesets moves the coastline in a huge area away from the original coast to the wrong place. Looking at the aerial images this looks to me like a marshy area affected by tides and therefore part of the ocean. See https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/internal/coastline/ and https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=coastline&lon=67.81567&lat=24.12069&zoom=9&overlays=coastline for the affected area. Please revert this change.

158025181	9 months ago	I am not sure I am on the right changeset here, but there were several problematic changes to the coastline in northern Russia around this area. The coastline moved quite a lot, you can see that here https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/internal/coastline/ . I am not familiar with that area but just looking at it it seems that that large river delta is at least partially tidal and should therefore be classified as ocean water, not inland water as it was before. For the time being coastline processing is halted until this issue is resolved.
