<div>About the used tags:</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>3100: Herbaceous (Dry Prairie)</div>
<div>Changed to natural=grassland</div>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>3300: Mixed Upland Nonforested</div>
<div>I checked many of these, and all were actually forested. But it might be better to leave it out, so it is "Not imported"</div>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">various => landuse=forest
Yes, i took care of this.</span>
</pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">6120: Mangrove Swamps => natural=wood
wetland+wetland=mangove sounds good, thank you, didn't knew about that.</span>
</pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">1650: Reclaimed Lands => natural=scrub
I checked many of these areas and they were always in bushy land.
6170: Mixed Wetland Hardwoods => landuse=forest 6460: Mixed Scrub-shrub
Wetland => natural=scrub
Then, i will tag them as natural=wetland. I don't know if natural=wetland;wood is a good idea. Other tags can be added later, if determined.</span></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">6430: Wet Prairies natural=wetland *
Maybe a good candidate for wetland=wet_meadow
Sounds good!</span>
</pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">8320: Electrical Power Transmission Lines => landuse=meadow
I'll use natural=grassland then. </span>
</pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">1900: Open Land (Urban)
landuse=meadow
The areas I checked were always grass areas. natural=grassland might be better.
</span></pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">2120: Unimproved Pastures
natural=scrub
"Unimproved Pastures" are former landuse=meadows, they are overgrown with bushes and vegeation.
</span></pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">2190: Wildlife Strip Crops
landuse=farmland
Appears to be used for different things, won't import
</span></pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">2610: Fallow Cropland
landuse=farmland
Why not? These areas look like something between "Unimproved Pastures" and normal farmland. IMO it's fine to tag these as landuse=farmland, since they don't look too different.
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">4430: Forest Regeneration Areas
landuse=forest;leaf_type=needleleaved
why needleleaved is assumed?
Copy-paste error. I meant natural=scrub.
</span></pre>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">5200: Streams & Waterways
natural=water;water=river
An seperate "Streams & Waterways" area is only used if the waterway has a certain size, so this does not incude small streams, only water areas on which water=river is applicable.
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">7410: Rural land in transition without positive indicators of intended activity
natural=scrub
The areas i've checked were always bush-covered. </span>
</pre>
<div> </div>
<div>About other things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Are these areas built as multipolygons with shared ways on the edges or assingle-way areas with overlapping borders?"</div>
<div>
<div>The landuses are single areas, with overlapping borders. However, almost all manually mapped landuses were also mapped this way - I don't see why I shouldn't import this this way now too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Which landuse/landcovers will be joined at edges vs potentially overlapping?"</div>
<div>All will be joined together. Roads and other features won't be touched.
<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana , Geneva , sans-serif;">"Your wiki table contains a lot of "guesses" that may or may not fit,
apparently in an effort to get as much paint onto the map as you can."
No. For each original value, I have looked at several objects to see what is meant in practice. This is not just guessed. </span>
</pre>
"please make sure that you actually union neighboring idential landuse"<br/>
This is already done in the orginal dataset. If there is "1540: Oil and Gas Processing" within "1560: Other Heavy Industrial", it might be tagged both lu=industrial for now. But it is still different landuse, just not (yet!) differently tagged. Someone can come across it and determine if oil or if gas is processed and add industrial=oil/gas. Now please don't call this "mess for others to clean up". Please don't, it really isn't.<br/>
Another example: If there are "4100: Upland Coniferous Forests" and 4110: Pine Flatwoods" next to each other, both would be tagged lu=forest for now. But there might be a way to express that the primary trees on 4110 are pine trees - this could be added later without much work. (Have i mentioned that i will keep the orginal description as a note=*?)<br/>

"Please make sure to get lots of people participating in this effort, ideally people importing in areas they have first-hand knowledge of."<br/>

I don't know if there are any other people who want to/can do uploads like that. I don't think it's a good idea to give people who add 5 POIS in their city once a month such a responsibility, just because they're locals.</div>
