You haven't actually explained what is "UNITED"? What is United? Every mapper in one community and no one else shall create others? What is united to you? What is united to others? From my point of view, it will never happen. Simply because one irrelevant mapper can create their own "mapping community" and that already destroys the unity. Unless from what I read, it is the opposite for your interpretation of united? The chances will constantly decrease as the mapping community continues to grow as a whole.

Either way, I'm going to breakdown some of your points.

1. And who will be the competent one to do such a thing? A common problem within the community is that we don't have a lot of time. We have our own problems irl too. Unless you want to volunteer, then go ahead and try it out because it's the community that affects the reputation. Obviously there are things that easier said than done.

2. If a mapper who has been around for a while has grew their channel using their own style, WE CANNOT FORCE SOMEONE to CHANGE THEIR STYLE. That is their choice. You may not like it but every mapper has to make their decisions whether the outcome is good or bad. Take ScandiMapper for example. He was growing very fast until I heard he changed his style. And guess what happened after? ScandiMapper has been struggling to grow. Depending on how you see it, it may be a "bad" outcome. Who is this "we"? The point is, every mapper is unique in some ways  including the tiniest differences that can make them unique and we should continue doing what we feel is best. You don't control their content and neither do we control yours.

3. I'm not going to comment on this because it's not worth the time. This can be contradictory and I'll rather not talk about it.

4. I have mixed feelings on this one. While collabs may promote other channels and help one grow, there are also such thing as failed collabs. And then there is time organzation issues. I'll leave it there. I don't see how this even helps with "united community." Is it not united because the collab is leaving out everyone else? Especially the smaller collabs? Hell, people can choose if they want to collab with someone or not.

5. You always had the choice to make them. The question is, does one person have the time to manage it? Wish you luck in making them.

6. Believe me, I tried. We have to think about WHY PEOPLE COME HERE? One of the obvious examples is Maps for Mappers. At this point, the security ain't that great for certain things like: cough cough, alt. I don't see this happening anytime soon. Again, easier said than done. Why don't you try?

Are you really getting into political shit? An internet community ain't some political shit. You can't overthrow someone nor can you control it in a political manner. Certain parts of the community has rules and that is classifed as "a community is just a community". And there are smaller parts of it and bigger parts of it. Since you're talking about unity, I'd like to see you try to get the Russian Mapping Community involved. It totally won't be a confusing disaster (not).

"Mervue is shit." Like anyone, they have their own opinions.

Wiki dead? Again, we need to ask why people come here in the first place?
