You're asking whether it should be man_made=pond or natural=pond? It's neither. See: > > A pond <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pond>: a body of standing water, > man-made in most cases, that is usually smaller than a lake. > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:water%3Dpond Oh, you're talking about water=pond after all. Nothing about water=pond says man_made or natural, it just says that there is a pond of water. As it stands right now in the wiki I suggest we either deprecate the tag > completely or change the definition to something that is observable on the > ground. > Finally, after all the misleading stuff you wrote, you get to the point. You believe that the definition of a pond says that it is man-made and that 'we're (usually) unable to tell if a pond is natural or man-made. But the definition does NOT say ponds are man-made, it says "man-made in most CASES" which means pond can be man-made or natural. It might be sensible to make the definition a little more clear, but you've mainly been arguing against your own misinterpretation of what it currently says. -- Paul
