Thanks Erwin, all noted. I'm sure I'll have further questions on conventions or even basic editing queries - is it best to ask here or via personal email, and if the latter, who should I ask?
I've seen the PH conventions page, and finding it useful (e.g. tagging fish farm pond "water") but one example where I'm not 100% clear would be the pond dividers, where I see there are a few techniques in use, well at least two (a) leaving some land between the ponds, and (b) making one large pond and dividing it with lines tagged as embankments. I see both in use; my attempts so far have been to leave strips of land, though the embankment line approach would be quicker.
