Hi, what's the source for IUCN value (protect_class=6) on Hoosier NF? I'm working on some adjacent areas, but the data I've found lists "Other Conservation Area" rather than giving an IUCN classification (1-6 or I-VI). Can't find a source for the infobox on Wikipedia ...
22024-11-08 14:51rivermont IUCN class 6 is just my best estimate for how the land is protected. If Hoosier NF has an officially listed classification I couldn't find it when this change was made.

Hello again.

I know in an ideal situation we remove objects from OSM once they no longer exist but please note that many of the buildings made uninhabitable by Dorian are visible as ruins on site and they are also highly visible on some of the aerial imagery. For recently damaged items would you...
22023-01-07 00:34rivermont Yeah definitely; I usually use lifecycles for disaster areas but just didn't here haha. I figured they were just abandoned construction. I suppose it's probably especially prudent to use them in hurricane-prone areas where it will be a problem again in a few months ...

♦446
There are quite a few bits of abandoned construction around these parts too, but they occasionally find themselves "un-abandoned" and finished when funds become available so it's a bit tricky to figure out what to keep.

What was incorrect about the woods that had to be removed? They were not an import but handcrafted in the old world tradition.
22021-08-11 12:37rivermont They hardly mapped onto reality at all. They cut out large portions of other woods, covered large areas of non-woods, and were only really handcrafted along two powerline cuts.

Thanks for redrawing this! I'm OK with deleting as part of an improvement project. After looking at the old wood boundary, it probably did need to be drawn with more detail.

does the buried power line really go through the billboards?

Dear rivermont,

do you know which date the imagery you've mapped after reflects?

Kind regards
22020-08-26 20:32rivermont It appears to be from May 29 2020, according to https://discover.digitalglobe.com, though that may not be the exact date the image was taken.

22020-08-27 15:01rivermont Hey b-jazz,
I couldn't find me in the PeWU history of the streams, so I think what happened is that I moved the coastline and a stream wasn't downloaded.

Hello,
Just for info a new mapper (with doodles as a first edit) drew this "river". Looking at the imagery, it appears to be half-way up a cliff face. Did you perhaps not check it when you changed the tags?
Best Regards,

22018-10-08 18:13rivermont I found this changeset after looking the user's history after seeing a discussion in OSMUS Slack about the previous changeset. The way seemed in line with a depression from aerial imagery so I assumed they added valid info. It seems the river has been removed now though.

Yes - I removed it because, based on looking at the imagery it was half-way up a slope (which you can also see by looking at the contours on the cycle map - https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/10.96130/-12.63470&layers=C ).
