Importing data correctly is hard, especially the first time. I'm glad you've come to the list. I'd be curious to know if you didn't notice the warnings on the wiki to contact the community first; I've gone ahead and added the warning banner to the ogr2osm, shp2osm, shp-to-osm, and shape2osm pages in case people find those before the other import pages.

Unfortunately I'd agree that reverting these changesets will be the easiest and best course of action. Trust me that you'll spend a long time cleaning up dupe nodes and ways. Some of the buildings have up to four dupe nodes and 3 dupe ways, all from different changesets. I've done some reversion before with the JOSM plugin, so if you'd like I can help do this. I'd like to help you do another successful import, so please consider sharing the original GIS files and your ogr2osm translation files. I very much appreciate your interest in OSM and your effort, so please do not let this dissuade you from continuing! -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
