It seems that you didn't ask any of the users who were involved in this import. This import was done four years ago, with many users and a variety of processes, but I don't get the impression you checked with any of us. I don't see any actual questions in your mail. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask them. - Serge _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
