This is mainly what I was referring to when I said "when I reassess 
quality for the datasets, I may make the number even smaller." When I 
initially assessed this dataset, I took a quick look at a few objects 
and determined that they were of sufficient quality to be considered for 
import. I've removed that dataset from the candidate list.

I set this one as in progress because I had already found another wiki 
page where other mappers were already working to have the data imported:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States/Public_lands/PAD-US

All of the datasets I've written documentation for are on subpages in 
order to keep it neat. I've worked on these two categories in particular:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HIFLD/Finance

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HIFLD/Communications

They're linked in the main data categories list, but they can be easy to 
miss.

Fine by me :)
