It hurts me a bit that instead of clearly and unambigously saying "I am
against this and any other cross-country imports, regardless of their
nature and sources", you are pulling all the obscure Import Guidelines
points to make me do tons of extra community work, like finding
communication channels for ~20 countries and convincing every single
mapper on these, in their local languages.
This is what people are talking when they write about CoC. I imagine you
think your message is clear, to the point, and "business as usual". But
if I were new here, I'd slam the door muttering "to hell with OSM, never
again".
The only constructive suggestion I could dig from your message (again,
deeply buried in sarcasm) is that I should make a wiki page. I did it
for all the past POI imports, and will do one for this import. Sorry
that I forgot this time.
I am certainly looking forward to another article of yours on the
negative impact of large POI imports. I did many conference talks on the
positive impact already, and only Frederik has articulated his
alternative opinion clearly.
Or, if you want to be more positive, could you outline an acceptable
workflow for such imports, that do not require learning dozen of foreign
languages and going through a hundred mappers individually.

Hi everyone,
Following the recent UK Shell stations import, I've got ahold of the
entire NavAds dataset. A major part of it are fuel stations all
across the world: UK, US, France, Germany, Australia, and many other
countries. [...]
I don't want to comment on the import itself - have done so in the past,
nothing really to add - except maybe that i looked for documentation of
the mentioned UK Shell stations import on the wiki or an entry in the
import catalogue - both of which are required by the import guidelines
and neither of which seems to exist (and neither for this import
apparently).
The import guidelines also clearly state that
"You must not import the data without local buy-in"
which leads me to conclude that for a multi-country import you have to
consult with each of the local communities affected individually.
The local communities need to have the right to object to the import or
to have specific local conventions regarding tagging that the import
needs to follow in their domain. Local mappers must not be required to
write here in English to ask questions and raise concens about local
aspects to be heard.
