For example on removed power tower (I made edit as crane lowered it, I just happened to be looking at it outside window) I changed power=tower node to note="power tower visible on aerial images was removed on <DATE>" survey_date=<DATE> to keep people from remapping it based on high quality aerial images available for my area. --- I also don't make risky armchair edit in areas with active local mappers. --- Is "NYS GIS data" something that can be considered nearly error free? If not then it should not be used for edits without verification with at least high-quality aerial imaged and this mapper should be reminded about it. If yes then leaving geometry with note is a good idea.
