Any use of an external source that fails to consider other sources is Just Bad Mapping. Using something like maproulette to consider the existing state of the database before including data from an external source is one positive step. I would suggest, though, that this sort of mapping far-from-home is generally lower quality and should be avoided.

Re: [Talk-us] Using MapRoulette for imports
I've been working on something like this, while learning python, which I'm hoping to have done by the end of the year. Right now I'm refactoring and generally cleaning up my messy code and still testing things out. Here's what it looks like right now: http://i.imgur.com/H4srX.jpg It's just basic leaflet and geojson backed by sqlite from ogr2ogr from a shapefile that was cleaned up before hand. When a feature is loaded it pulls down osm from xapi and checks for existing features that will intersect based on predefined tags, in this case [leisure=park], [leisure=garden] and a few others. If it intersects it's skipped and the next one is fetched. Hopefully I'll have more to post here about it soon.
