Hi,

One other comment I would make on the process now that I have done a several hundred nodes is that what looks like two names on one settlement could very well be two separate names for two different locations in the same village.

For example:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/6.423257/-10.248687

Amara Village was placed on the buildings to the south and Monden closer to the general collection of buildings to the north. Both are in the same clan name.

I am finding it very common for the UNMIL data to name individual farms or houses with what sounds like a name and "Village" on the end, e.g., "Amara Village"

In the above example, I strongly suspect the data was naming that farm house in the south specifically and the general settlement name in the N.

Just something to think about if you are thinking of combining nodes and using alt_name_*

I also do not think it would be a big deal if they got combined, but I hate to lose such nice specific location data.

The trade off of having two nodes on there instead of 1 node with alt_name_* seems to cause no harm whatsoever as opposed to location data lost potentially forever to OSM.

Hi all:

The Tasking Manager job to import [1] these set of places has being
discussed in the imports list, issues have been addressed and the
wikis have been written, with a detailed workflow [2] to secure a
consistent import process.

This job will greatly improve the map for Liberia, and therefore will
be of great help for organizations working to control Ebola outbreak
in West Africa.

As this job is quite delicate, it has been decided to make it private.
I've added to the job the same users that were contributing to the GNS
merging job [3] + myself.

If anyone else is interested in participating in this import, please
reply to this list to have your name added.

For all those that will contribute, please read carefully the workflow
wiki [2] and make sure you understand all the steps.

Cheers, and thank you very much in advance for contributing,

Rafael.
