| 117791476 | Okay maybe you're right in this case but all of the taggings here, even in Shenandoah National Park and Jefferson National Forest is natural=wood.
I just like matching up the tagging. In my opinion, I only tag stuff as landuse=forest if it clearly shows that it's been under forestry like forests in Alabama(however I got told from asdfjkll that they're tagging everything there as natural=wood), or I know the exact border of the forest section, for example, in Hungary it's easy because we have named mountain ranges where we also associate the forest boundary with it so that is actually aligning to the forest boundary.

| 117791476 | By the way, I fixed up some multipolygon problems like overlapping or unclosed way or "area=yes" on wooded multipolygons when it's not needed. |
|
| 117586807 | Please don't put landuse=forest on National forests because the wood landcover doesn't always respect the border. This is one of the rules in OSM so-to say about public lands |
|
| 117587254 | that'd be 117617749 but it's good as I see |
|
| 117587254 | Oh wait.. wrong changeset, since i've done other mapping since then |
|
| 117587254 | I forgot to put Esri World imagery, because i had it turned off in the Layer list when mapped from NAIP. Sorry :D |
|
| 117495935 | + aligned south branch potomac river at a point, hence the size of changeset |
|
| 117323230 | I also added some driveways. |
|
| 117109572 | Actually the ridge is called Alleghany Mountain |
|
| 116981292 | "Another thing i'd consider adding though later: inner residential/farmyard polygons where it's clearly visible that it's not a forest."

|
| 116981292 | Alright, I see. Yes, I can agree on the bad alignment part. In West Virginia it's weird. In Summers County it has a bad alignment compared to NAIP, but in Mingo County it has a really good alignment. It varies a lot. |

| 116981292 | Hey RunTrails, I want to say that Bing has way newer imagery in the area which is on the quality as Esri World Clarity(or maybe better regarding resolution), and I checked the landcover to the newest Bing 2020 imagery (according to the metadata it was taken during summer of 2020, I checked in JOSM), and there's some wood cut down since 2011(Esri World Imagery Clarity is that really old). Also, there is the lower quality NAIP from 2020 if good quality Bing imagery is not available. If you're still working on the area, then please realign the landcover to either Bing or NAIP imagery. Another thing, I'd recommend using JOSM for mapping forest landcover, it's usually much faster to do it. Oh yeah, I don't know if you heard about the OSM US Slack community, but if you haven't, then please consider joining it, so if there is an issue or information, it's easier to communicate there: https://slack.openstreetmap.us/ But otherwise, you're doing an awesome work! Keep it up! Just please consider my suggestions. |

| 116974050 | Thanks! |
|
| 116974050 | Oh, I see. Thanks for it, I appreciate any help! |
|
| 116978157 | I also used Mapbox imagery, i forgot to add that, but mostly I used Bing.
|
|
| 116974050 | :D that was fast after you saw me mapping the landcover + landuse over there. I hope you check the buildings' shapes, because the RapiD's building recognizer isn't always accurate. |
|
| 116884693 | I mean, you can upload images to imgur or any image hosting services, so that is not a big deal. |
|
| 116884693 | Alright, thanks! |

| 116884693 | Is that really Samantha Mackay Drive? because I see no information on the internet, Primary Care Plus says "124 Brookshire Lane" https://www.primarycarepluswv.com/ |
