Hello

I noticed you conducting an import with these changesets

• osm.org/browse/changeset/13312909

• osm.org/browse/changeset/13314034

among others

The import guidelines require that imports be done from a dedicated account, after consultation with the local community and be documented on the wiki.

These imports were not done from a dedicated account.

I would suggest that the dedicated account

• have a link to your main account for contact purposes

and

• have a listing of any imports you have done on it with links to the entries in the import catalogue

Additionally I can’t find a any consultation that was done over this import with the imports@ mailing list. Can you provide me a pointer to it?

Lastly this import was dumped in on top of existing data, leading to a mess of duplicate forests. Because of this I’m going to go ahead and revert them.

As a general reminder, the other import guidelines can be found on the wiki. These include

• appropriate documentation

• consultation with the local community and the imports@ mailing list

• having a plan to fix an mistakes in case of a broken upload

• other technical requirements

To contact me you can send a message or email the data working group

This block will last until you log on to ensure you have read it.
