Hi Andrew, Have you considered adding a ref:{Vic map reference}={Vic map ID} Tag to the imported data points? Or do you consider a ref tag or source tag an issue for users? I am also wondering if it makes sense to add a clean up tag for all duplicate points. Think tiger data import. On 10

The initiative sounds good to me. It sounds like this might be on a tight timeline, so a simple manual merge one small group at a time would definitely not work. It seems any community involvement would be, e.g. through a (post-import?) maproulette task. This is therefore quite a different import
