<p>Also i got the question in mind, what should be the source
tagging?</p>
<p>I set up a long tagging for the exact source for the changesets(<font
face="monospace">source="<a rel="nofollow" class="external free"
href="https://wvgis.wvu.edu/data/dataset.php?ID=58">https://wvgis.wvu.edu/data/dataset.php?ID=58</a>
discussed with #local-west-virginia on OSM US Slack and imports
mailing list"
</font>), but shouldn't I just write<font face="monospace">
source=WV GIS Tech Center; WVDoF</font> instead of it?</p>
<p>Because that would make everything easier, and it's gonna be
documented on wiki nevertheless...<br>

<p>Yes, you didn't misread it, it's about a Boundary import aka
boundary=protected_area.<br>
</p>
<p>As it reads in the dataset description, "Last Revised in 2020
for USGS's Protected Areas Database, a subset of the National
Gap Analysis project." So it means I'm gonna work with pretty
decent data which is a good thing, and i checked the quality of
the dataset, I only need to do some minor multipolygon editing,
i already set up the tagging, so yeah, i'm not gonna import it
like an idiot but like i have proper knowledge how to, after
some research of how the taggings work. The taggings of the
dataset is based on the PAD US scheme, for which WV GIS TC
provided a PDF file to explain what tag does what.</p>
<p>I haven't started it yet, but i guess you all say that i should
be good to go if I do it carefully, but that's why I wanted to
hear from you.</p>
<p>I created a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ottwiz_import">separate
account </a>just for the import itself so it's distinguished
from my main one.<br>

I disagree. For simple polygons (few nodes), overlapping

as an editor I would always prefer a multipolygon to tens
or hundreds of reused/overlapping nodes in overlapping
ways.<br>

<div>As a heavy land-cover mapper I agree that multipolygons
are vastly easier to improve over time than to try to
disconnect overlapping ways.</div>

<div>That said, unless I'm misreading the wiki the i<a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/West_Virginia_State_Forests_Import"
moz-do-not-send="true">mport being discussed</a> is
about State Forest (protected area) boundaries not
land-cover/land-use. I'd rather not have folks doing
land-cover/land-use imports from poor data, but I'm of the
opinion that protected area boundaries are often a very
good candidate for [careful] importing if the data are of
good quality.<br>
