[Tagging] What about a disused quarry and historic surface mining?

Re: [Tagging] Wrong use of landuse=village_green - but what else to use?

I thought the original question was broader than just the patches of green next to the road. I also want to know how to map those green patches when they are not part of roundabouts, or are located between sidewalk and road (where cars drive). What about the green patches around public buildings ?

Re: [Tagging] landuse=logging

@warin, This is another laughable instance of how terminology we consider normal is so different across the ocean. To Americans timber refers to the standing trees in a forest. Timber is felled and cut into lumber. We might describe an area as being "heavily timbered" or having "standing timber".

No worries. I'm still thinking about it. The English language is a difficulty as the various dialects drift apart. Tending away from crop towards produce .. as that term encompasses more - eg fish, oysters. On 10-Jan-17 05:23 PM, Dave Swarthout wrote: Oops. I see it was Warin that introduce
