[Talk-ca] Proposal: Removing imported aboriginal land

[Paul Norman]

In 2010 acrosscanadatrails imported Aboriginal reserves. An example is
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1016901

 

These are viewable all the way out to z4.

 

I propose removing these for a few reasons.

 

1.       From what I've seen, no one has edited these to improve them.

2.       Acrosscanadatrails has not agreed to the CTs. He has indicated his
contributions are public domain, so the data could be downloaded and
reimported, but I do not believe that should be done.

3.       The tagging is questionable, with two FIXMEs. They are tagged with
admin_level=4, the same as provinces, which misrepresents their importance.

4.       The tagging for aboriginal lands is not settled. See
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:boundary#First_Nations for some
discussion. Although this shouldn't stop people from mapping them, I believe
it should stop them from being imported.
