Hi
Thanks for investigating the data issues Sander. As I did when you contacted me
last week, I'll explain the issues here as I see them, and discuss some simple
ways I'll see to getting them fixed.
On the "Bad Imports" page, this new process is unnecessary. There is already a
substantial process for managing imports and resolving data issues, documented
in the wiki and managed by the DWG.
On the data in Enugu, my role in the original import was to advise colleagues
involved directly in the data collection and import, and then to make some
repairs to the roads (that is why I appear as the first editor of many
features). There are two issues.
One is "living_street". My understanding is that they used "living_street" in
cases of unpaved residential roads, because there is a great amount of activity
directly on these roads, and "resembled" living streets in the EU. There is no
legal definition of living street in Nigeria. At the time of the import, I
didn't totally agree with the classification, but didn't think it that
important. Given the question on classification now, I think it's best to
improve this, and will do so, by changing classification to residential road.
Second, there are a good number of tags on POI that should not have been
included in a related import of Enugu (for example
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2460130808/history). The simple solution here
is to identify those tags, and remove them, and I will see to this as well.

the main user account for the roads data.

Meanwhile I contacted some users and documented the contacts in the wiki.
If anyone finds other harmful imports, or has an opinion on the mentioned
imports, please add them to the wiki.
Thanks,

I recently discovered a number of bad imports, but found out it's hard to
discuss those, and keep track of those discussions, as there's no central
platform where that could happen.
There are f.e. changeset discussions, but when the importer doesn't answer, you
don't get notified anymore, and nobody else will keep an eye on it.
So I started a wiki page to gather information about bad imports, together with
an initial procedure to handle those (giving some times to allow discussion and
cleanups).
see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bad_imports
I already documented some bad imports there, but not yet who I contacted
(though I contacted two importers via changeset messages, and that will be hard
to find back if they don't react).
If any of you find bad imports, I should ask you to also add them to the list,
and regularly keep an eye on the list. When that list gets used more often, we
won't lose track of those discussions anymore.
If you have any remarks on the procedure, feel free to raise concerns. But I
like some hard dates as else people wonder whether it would be ok to revert it
already or not. And I think the current terms are reasonable.
Regards,
Sander
