Hi Andrea!
As Nicolas pointed out, the map view of WDQS is based on OpenStreetMap. So the
territory would have to be marked as disputed there.
However, perhaps you can turn this into a positive example for Wikidata's
flexibility and NPOV afterall: I have added some statements to
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5671580> to show how a territorial dispute can
be modeled on Wikidata.
I was lazy and didn't add any sources, though - I didn't know what to make of
"Donovan 2003" given in Wikipedia, as it doesn't give the title of a
publication. But I suppose sources for these things should be easy to find.

Next week there will be a handson session, where I hope to get as much

When I demonstrated the WDQS, the audience took offense in the way Suriname is
depicted on the map view used in the WDQS. There is a territorial dispute with
the neighboring country Guyana, called the Tigri
area(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigri_Area). In the WDQS this area is
currently being drawn as being part of Guyana. The maps drawn in the WIkipedia
article shows how the issue is dealt with here when drawing maps. i.e. The area
is explicitly drawn as being a territorial dispute, which is more factual.
Any idea's on how to get a similar mapview on the WDQS? Thanks to Wikipedia
Zero, where people can have free access to Wikidata (even in remote area's),
there is quite some potential to get people involved in adding local data.
Having the current mapview is counter productive.
Cheers,
Andra
