It seems that you drew a large residential area in the Dominican Republic. User 4rch remarked: "the polygon did cover large areas without residential landuse" At first sight, 4rch seems to be correct; the area in question seems to be mostly meadows and forest and even an occsasional quarry, whereas a residential area would be interpreted as (quote from Wiki) "An area of land dedicated to, or having predominantly residential houses or apartment buildings." It would have been nice of 4rch to contact you and ask what you meant to map; perhaps you just mistakenly selected the landuse=residential category and wanted something else entirely? > I also need help to recover my data as soon as possible. I suggest to first determine what your polygon was meant to describe; as I said, it doesn't pass muster as a residential area. Perhaps you meant to draw an administrative border?
