Novaya Zemlya (New Land) Islands (Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia) are part of Europe, not Asia!

Oceania vs. Asia edit

Some parts of the world are lost in the "cracks" between Oceania and Asia. Decide on what should go where. Also, see the similar discussion on the talk page for the Oceania image.

Oceania isn't a very clearly defined area, and has multiple definitions. Asia's borders are better defined, but not set in stone. There's no overwhelming reason any piece of land must be included in one of these maps. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 15:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
I suggest that both Papuas (West/Indonesian and New Guinea) are included in both maps. It has to be somewhere! The answer of "In what continent is West Papua located?" could not be "neither". Bennylin (yes?) 16:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

India edit

The boundaries Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir has gone missing from the map of India which are parts of India . and we from India can't use this map because The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill 2016 as Wrong depiction of India's map could bring a Rs 100 crore (1 Billion) fine . — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 183.82.4.115 (talk) 04:19, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oceanic border edit

The Weber line divides Asian Wallacea from Oceanic Wallacea. Any objection to adjusting the border accordingly? The difference is that Halmahera & neighboring islands to the immediate west of New Guinea count as Oceania, while Timor and neighbors remain as Asia.
