By contrast, adding 'historic' and adjusting tagging to current use

features from the GNIS import. I didn't invent it.
Oh, and I oughtn't have needed to, but I just checked, and at least
one of the buildings in question is on the National Register of Historic
Places. I'm guessing that in itself will not satisfy Warin as to its
'historic' nature, but I'm not sure what authority or combination of
authorities would.
Not a question of 'satisfying' me.
But rather finding the best tags for your use.
And then defining them.
The problem is that people 'miss use' tags that others use for something
else.
historic may be used by some to simply indicate past use, and that to me
is wrong.
Some significance historic event that is evident is some current
feature.. fine.
I could not use historic to describe the past use of a feature.
I would use it to tag some significant historic event.
For example if a historically significant person did some historic thing
at the school .. then I would tag that, I would not tag the school it
self as historic.
Another example?
Some past churches have been converted into homes. I would not tag them
as historic just to document there past use.
