Committed identity: B3725512A95EED67E285A20141E0A71A8B14EB39DBFF6C7C101A242DA6330981 is an SHA-256 commitment to this user's real-life identity.

Urgent! In Wikimedia Commons, could you revert User:MauriManya's unilateral edition Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg denying the map to Wikipedia users showing the de-jure borders of Azerbaijan (even though there is already an alternative map of Azerbaijan showing de facto situation with Nagorno-Karabakh)

In Wikimedia Commons, could you revert User:MauriManya's unilateral edition Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg where s/he put Nagorno-Karabakh in it, without waiting for the response or permission of the creator User:Night w who seems to be currently inactive since June 2012. The problem is that many Wikipedia pages use this map showing the de-jure borders of Azerbaijan (without showing Nagorno-Karabakh). And as there is already an alternative map Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg with Nagorno-Karabakh in it, could you revert that user's unilateral edition to its original state of the User:Night w? Unfortunately the User:MauriManya has violated this by exploiting User:Night w's absence and is deliberately denying the map to Wikipedia users in its original state because that user has a political agenda.

Thank you
