This PR includes work I did in my previous 2 PR’s, #502 and #507. For this new PR though, I made edits to fix the issues of PR#507 and I made edits dealing with the Unified Deep Water System of European Russia, which derive from issues #500, #340, and #14.
This PR includes work I did in my previous 2 PR’s: #502 and #507. For this new PR, I did the following work:
I cleaned up the Aral Sea for issue #337 by splitting the sea into 5 geometries following the above sources and Bing Aerial Imagery. I edited the attributes and geometries of these features, as shown below:
A: name = Aralkum Desert
ne_id = 1729982847
featurecla = Playa
name_alt = South Aral Sea
wikidataid = Q276776
scalerank = 1
name_abb = `` (NULL)
This was done on the ne_10m_playas shapefile.
B: name = South Aral Sea
I used the original ne_id of the Aral Sea for this feature.
featurecla = Lake
name_alt = Southern Aral Sea|Large Aral Sea|Big Aral Sea
wikidataid = Q276776
label = South Aral Sea
name_abb = `` (NULL)
C: name = North Aral Sea
ne_id = 1729982865
featurecla = Lake
name_alt = Northern Aral Sea|Small Aral Sea
wikidataid = Q3358037
label = North Aral Sea
name_abb = `` (NULL)
For B and C, I left the original scalerank, min_zoom, and min_label as discussed but originally changed them following other similarly sized features. Let me know if you want me to change these fields.
D: name = Barsakelmes Lake
ne_id = 1729983019
featurecla = Lake
name_alt = Tushchybas|Tsche-Bass Bay|Shche-bas Bay
wikidataid = Q28750379
label = Barsakelmes Lake
name_abb = `` (NULL)
scalerank = 6
min_zoom = 5.0
min_label = 6.5
wdid_score = 5
E: name = `` (NULL)
ne_id = 1729983021
featurecla = Lake
wikidataid and all name/label fields = `` (NULL)
scalerank = 9
min_zoom = 7.0
min_label = 8.0
wdid_score = 5
This above work was done for the ne_10m_lakes shapefile. For the ne_50_lakes and ne_50m_playas shapefiles, I did the same work except I removed E and simplified the geometries of all of these lakes and playas. For the ne_110m_lakes shapefile, I removed all features as discussed. Originally I included B and C so if we want these features back, I can re-add them.
