<p>Thumbs up for this idea. I didn't think about it before.<br>
<br>
Alright, if any of you can take the chance to look at my data
prep, please do it then, and say what should i improve based on
the info I provided, I'd be grateful to hear. Sterling hasn't
taken the chance to check it out, probably because he is busy with
college business but he reacted with 'aye-aye' in private messages
when i told him that he is also gonna check the files (i sent him
the exact same instructions and description what's what)<br>
</p>
<p>But most of you are experienced mappers so it should be easy to
sort it out.<br>

and imports mailing list" </span>), but shouldn't I
just write<span class="font"
style="font-family:monospace"> source=WV GIS Tech
Center; WVDoF</span> instead of it?<br>
</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

<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.<br>
</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.<br>

<p>I created a <a target="_blank"

<div> I disagree. For simple polygons (few
nodes), overlapping ways might be the easiest
to maintain representation, but 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.<br>

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>
