Hi,
I stumbled across the Blue Ridge Parkway in OSM (you learn something
new every day, that's one of the things I like so much about OSM).
I noticed that Wikipedia has:
"The parkway, while not a National Park, has been the most visited unit
of the National Park System every year since

You just can't trust Wikipedia. maybe they should start citing OSM instead

It is a "National Heritage Area"[1]which is under the jurisdiction of the
US National Park Service. While it is not a "National Park" in the formal

beginning "stated succinctly."
I applaud efforts and discussion I see here regarding subtle distinctions
between Blue Ridge Parkway being not a National Park per se, but rather a "park

I do in fact know one of the areas that he edited quite well. He added
"Mission Koi Pond" at a location that contained a large building (shown on

Sorry for the digression. I was attempting to present the theory by
which I chose tags for various closely related objects. In particular,
the Blue Ridge Parkway might get 'boundary=protected_area

2) Many /most of the influx of new mappers are
Apologies, Ian. I did mention that my VERY brief digression into state
sovereignty was recognizably "not on a political forum" and intentionally

Keep up the good work!
