The import page is missing a lot of explanations. Specifically, I would suggest adding at least: a more precise description of the source data; that points to a page with a lot of stuff on it an explanation of why this data is compatible with the CT an explanation of your evaluation of the accuracy of the source data pointers to the preprocessed data files in osm format that you plan to upload how you plan to avoid conflicts with data already present in osm (typically, there is some process of not adding a node if the node is already there, and leaving the hard cases for manual inpsection) what tool will be used for upload, and how that can be reverted if trouble do you have a staged plan for doing a bit and taking a pause while people look for trouble? the account does not look like an import-only account. Surely you intend to manually map as well, so perhaps you should register Sailor%20Jerry-import-noaa or some such for the import. You may also want to do a bit more manual mapping before importing. If you have another account, it seems good to have the import account point to that account so that people can connect the importer with the regular mapper. I would also suggest that you review the last few months of archives. It looks like there are already some uploads of imported data going on, which is contrary to the propose/review cycle for automated edits. (I'm not conceptually opposed to imports, but they are very hard to get right.) Greg
