Hi, I've just fixed Lugnaquilla's "ele" tag to use the EGM96 system, as opposed to the WGS84 one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/77737107 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ele?uselang=en That one was reported by an OSM note, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the natural=peak

Landuse is a bit tricky in OSM because it has a large part of subjectivity. The residential/retail/commercial/industrial split is a common issue. How wide does a street need to be before we stop including it in the landuse ? How all-encompassing should landuse=farmland be ? Should we have lots of
