I'm not sure whether this has anything to do with Pokémon Go but a

Hello US folks,
The mapper who made these original edits is long gone from OSM, so what
remains is largely a "data tidying exercise".
For info, I've looked at Shasta-Trinity National Forest and deleted the
main _duplicate_ Shasta-Trinity NF way
http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=487220873 (the original
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/70010/ hasn't been edited for 12
months as so is presumably OK). I'll also look at the smaller
duplicates added by http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47829109 .
It'd be great if other people could have a look at some of the
duplicates highlighted within the parent post with a view to removing
duplicates in the other ones too. Someone's already (correctly in my
view) removed "leisure=park" from at least some of these.
There's also scope to map the landuse etc. within the national forest
boundaries such as http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/418301052 better,
but that will need more local mappers with local knowledge (of whom
there are never enough to go around). Currently in that example there
seems to be only http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/64298706 , which is
another import. It's clear for example that the trees in the imagery at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/40.61757/-122.94615 don't match
what has been imported. Areas such as this are a good drive from major
population centers, but there are newish mappers popping up around
Eureka and Redding so it'd be great if they continue and in the future
add what they know about these areas too.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend (DWG member and very occasional hiker in Northern California)
