[OSM-talk] Several approved features moved to Map_features page

[David Earl]

I think there are many commons which aren't village greens (e.g. Stourbridge
Common in Cambridge), even if most village greens are commons.

I think most people in England would be able to point at an area of land and
identify it as a village green, don't you?

David

BTW, the village_green tag suggestion didn't come from me, I was just
updating the tables to reflect the vote. I still think it is a good one to
have though.
