[Talk-ca] Tagging forest as a park?

I've noticed something going on in the map: http://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/relation/1944638 Denis001 has added leisure=park to a Canvec forest and a Lake's name. I'm pretty sure that he ment to add it to the lake itself and not the forest relation. Just wondering what you think?

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

Yeah forests are not an easy task to handle, I've been trying to tackle this from time to time in rural areas as to no put a forest in the city, but it's a long process as you need to validate a lot of things before you can upload a small portion of land. I've tackled a few today:

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec Reverts

See that's where I have an issue with your revert logic, if errors are mostly corrected and say theres only 1 or 2 warnings, you want to revert the whole thing which is very bad for: 1. The community and 2. The database. Let me explain: there are many hours that go into merging down CanVec ways

I agree that forest that are way too costly in time should be removed, but they should also be replaced with something(better) not just mass removed, oh well we'll get to it later kind of thing On Sep 1, 2016 8:05 PM, "Sam Dyck" wrote: > I took a break to make supper, so
