What about outright deletion of water features?
Here is a post I wrote in another forum b/c I couldn't find this thread...
IIRC, it was mentioned that we need not, should not be deleting water features - we can change linear to polygonal, etc., but don't be deleting the stuff.
I may not be correct in that, but anyway, please check out this mess:
There is a number of water polygons/lines and it seems to me that the one I edited and am awaiting approval on will be fine but there is an offset duplicate that should be deleted along with portions of the linear 'river'.
Thoughts?

Maybe I'm over-thinking this and have assumed that deleting is bad bad bad. I have had one GR chastise me for deleting a linear river, but it was more of what Nels speaks of in his post in that I created a polygon over the area.
