Hi philpennmap, I've reverted this changeset with changeset/177724792 -- there was already an existing relation for Governors Island (relation/2389631). Please see comments on changeset/174440574

thanks, jmapb

Hi philpennmap, wireguy is correct here -- there was already a relation mapped for Liberty Island (relation/9791559), so there's no need to create a new one. I reverted this changeset with changeset/177701290 and removed the new relation you added (relation/19815770).

It looks like you also created duplicate relations for Governors Island (relation/19815779) and Ellis Island (relation/19815764). These have been fixed too.

It's a good idea to use OSM's search function and the "query features" function (? symbol on the right of the map) to find what's already mapped, to avoid creating duplicates. And if you think you might have created other duplicates and need help fixing them, please let me know.

Thanks, jmapb

Hi, I removed way/1298676047 in changeset/173253101

If the only reason to tag this place leisure=park is for consistency with other Westchester-managed parks... that's not great.

I mentioned a couple of wilderness parks I'd left as leisure=park. If I'd had the itch to reclassify them, I'd 1) consult the current documentation 2) try to get a local consensus from other mappers -- especially the ones who'd done the original tagging, if still active. That's how a cooperative project like this should work. (Obviously it's different when the tagging's clearly incorrect -- if these had been tagged as zoos, for instance.)

Thanks for the trail data improvements!

There are indeed regional variations in mapping style, & I bet leisure=park is in use for dozens, maybe hundreds of places like this in NYS -- it's an older tag, so that wouldn't be too surprising. I can think of a couple nearby I edited this year (Cheesecote Mountain Park way/406448162 and High Tor State Park way/435087846) that I found tagged as leisure=park & left them that way... because generally I am a "let's leave it as-is" kind of mapper, more concerned with the trails and boundaries than the tagging.

But matthewfecica, you did not "leave it as-is" -- per the changeset comment, you "corrected feature type"! So if you believe leisure=park is a better tag for Cranberry Lake Preserve, please explain why.

Fixed
