Richard,
Do you have a link to Import Guidelines that are specific to
Canvec data?
I think http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec needs to have some
specific guidelines for canvec imports.
In particular
1. A caution to avoid importing coastlines or large lakes unless you
have substantial experience importing canvec and understand how
coastlines get generated/rendered in OSM. We have had enough
problems/complaints with coastlines that I think we need a specific
caution.
2. A warning to avoid duplicate features. (one might argue that this
is obvious but the generic import guidelines don't actually mention
this and clearly people are importing a lot of duplicate features)
3. To check keeprite (or something similar) after your import so you
can find/fix some of the problems you will create.
If no one objects I will update the above mentioned wiki page to
reflect include those warnings.
Steve
Bernie.

Subject: [Talk-ca] import complaints
dear all,
I've heard some LOUD complaints about imports in Canada. Please be
sure to follow the import guidelines, including special import
accounts, and please be sure to check your work and fix errors.
Latest issue appears to be a large broken water polygon.
Best regards,
Richard

Steve, thanks. I've moved the warning to a more prominent place, to the
summary at the top. Otherwise (new) readers might miss it too easily.
