I am not against putting the data inside OSM. I am just pointing out
that the import should have been announced and peer reviewed before
starting. It would have caught most of the issues that you are now
facing. There is an import mailing list, it would have helped.
It is so much more difficult to correct the data afterwards than before.
I don't know if it is a good example, but now in France any major
imports is sent to the mailing list for review, even bots work. It
allows to catch problems before they become an issue. Correcting the
data will now be painful between people correcting the data on their own
plus your own effort.
Do you have a page explaining which tag you use? what fields? etc....
