Is it preferable to keep the original GNIS tags if updating a GNIS object in
OSM? E.g. updating say the location and elevation, everything else is the
same. In context, GNIS mountain is here, but really it's there (which is
usually the case for GNIS).
Or, just leave the GNIS object alone, and

I preserve the tags. It is easy to do.
BTW, the reason the elevation of the GNIS mountain peaks is incorrect is
that GNIS takes the elevation from the National Elevation
For bench marked peaks, we stick with the NGS-published elevation, which I
believe most of them have been converted to the latest and greatest Geoid

I’m confused: is the issue tagging a bike route with some sort of official
number when it really doesn’t have one,
or just tagging any way as a “bike route” without including an official number?
