Can you elaborate on your plans? The two pages you linked to are detailed but intended as only a starting point for various import efforts. In and of themselves, they don't satisfy the import guideline's requirement for fully documenting your proposed import on the wiki. For example, see the full proposals listed in the table at [1].

Data to Import=building outlines
Area=Cities and towns California, United States, if the area not mapped and existing in reality and able to seen in Bing satellite imagery
source=Microsoft building footprints

Can you be more specific? There are a number of completed, ongoing, and planned building imports in California. [2] It's important that your import doesn't interfere with these other efforts. In fact, perhaps you should consider contributing to those efforts, if you haven't already. (For context, I've helped with the San Jose building import, which is still ongoing and would welcome help with task completion or validation. [3])

Have you considered any other datasets before deciding to import the Microsoft building dataset? In California, we're lucky that works by state and local government agencies are automatically in the public domain by law. So for many cities and counties, there are likely better alternatives to the Microsoft building dataset. These alternatives typically contain attributes that Microsoft's computer vision-based approach could not obtain, such as addresses and building heights, and the geometries may be more accurate. If this is the case, I think there would be a strong argument for preferring the local dataset and only falling back to the Microsoft dataset in areas that aren't so fortunate.

Thank you for your consideration and enthusiasm for improving our coverage of California.
