I removed the procedure part (apart from who to notify), and changed the wiki page in just a listing of imports that should be handled or clarified. My main problem with just "solving it myself" is that I don't find myself qualified to say the quality of certain imported data is too bad. So I tried to give the community some votes.
But I guess in most cases, it will be pretty clear how to fix it so it can be decided inside the discussion. Thanks for helping with the data.
