Comment from SomeoneElse
Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
This is just a quick note to let you know, in case you're not already aware that the Morrocan border here is one of the more "sensitive" ones in OSM - there have been politically motivated attempts to change the borders of Morocco in the past to include e.g. Spanish territory in the north and area of former Western Sahara south of the "berm" in the south.There are essentially two sets of borders here - there's a straight line (the old Mauritania / Western Sahara border) and a wiggly one (the "Moroccan Wall" or "berm") - a fortification created by the Morrocan army in former Western Sahara, with them on one side of it and the Polisario Front on the other. If you look at the imagery underneath https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/198749099#map=15/21.3391/-15.2639 you can se the fortifications fairly clearly - sometimes that line is north of the old Mauritania border and sometimes south.
You've made this change with a comment of "fixing" here. Perhaps you could explain here in a bit more detail what you were trying to change?
Here's a link about previous discussion about this https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=602864#p602864 .
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.
