OK... I can set up one dedicated to Canvec imports. That's no problem if that is the preferred practice. I do remember now reading that reference in the Wiki that states " Consider creating a new user for the import" but I interpreted the reason for doing so as not applicable as I was not adding anything to the source tags. So I did what was asked... I considered it... but I didn't do it. Also, I am not blindly or mechanically importing but editing and tweaking as I go, so I guess there is a gray area as to what is CanVec and what is "personal". I also label all the changesets as CanVec imports so that they are more obvious in my own edit history. But if it makes things easier to track... I'll continue from now on under a different account.
Thanks for the guidance.

Sorry if I've been doing this wrong. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines#Use_a_dedicated_user_account http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits/Code_of_Conduct http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_working_group/Mechanical_Edit_Policy Indeed. Separate accounts for each import source are the current best practice. Not everybody is following this obviously. No harm in trying to follow all of the best guidelines. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
