I think the extent of the glaciers from the ADD import don’t quite match the glaciers that LINZ has surveyed.
There seem to be only a few cases like this, right at the edge of the glacier, we can delete these if you like.


> How you plan to update this data?

Using the same system as the ongoing address update, you can try it yourself from https://osm-nz.github.io/RapiD
It can handle the complex aspects like moving, editing, and deleting data.


> Primary effect is to make this area uneditable.

Not sure what you mean by this. This area is just as editable as any other part of the world, bearing in mind the lack of good quality aerial imagery.

> Changesets that mass added this features miss links to relevant import documentation.

I think I answered all this in our other conversation, in addition, here is the link to talk-nz which I didn’t include https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-nz/2021/thread.html
All changesets made after 6/10/21 have source=https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ, in addition to attribution=https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#LINZ which they always had. I hope this addresses that problem.


> From what I know exact locations of crevasses in glacier are quite dynamic.

Indeed, this was discussed during the approval process for natural=crevasse, and is summarised well here: https://wiki.osm.org/Talk:Tag:natural=crevasse

Hi, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘geometrically incompatible features’
I am pretty sure that it is about things like

How crevasses can be in rock outside glacier?
As we discussed in that changeset, I can’t see this ‘damage to the database’ that you’re talking about.
How you plan to update this data? Primary effect is to make this area uneditable.

Also, I want to repeat request for linking specific posting on mailing list that
announced plan to import this features.

Changesets that mass added this features miss links to relevant import
documentation.
