Josh and Marc, Thank you! I apologize that I'm unable to speak the OSM language as well as everyone, I'm working on it :) I posted on the Salisbury, Maryland Import page that Josh created to give more detail about my uploads.
I didn't really think that I created so many duplicates, because I did a lot of things in JOSM before I actually chose to upload. One thing I know for sure is that I didn't I upload until I was actually able to - I was getting a proxy error and the uploads were timing out when I attempted to upload the entire batch. I assumed that these attempts were unsuccessful, which I might be wrong about and might have resulted in duplication. I assumed that my successful attempts started, maybe @ 10901673, when I realized I needed to break the original shapefile up tabularly into percentiles and upload 10 segments of the building footprint dataset, one after the other. These were all definitely successful, and were only done once per percentile. Josh, where are you finding the list of changesets in the format you posted? I can only figure out how to list them in my editor profile with my comments. If you believe that the method you mention that removes the 71,000 nodes is the best approach, please feel free to do so. I will also gladly manually fix the inner ring tagging issue as the data gets fixed. Please let me know what I can do to help. I am also willing to share the .osm files and/or shapefiles if that will help. Thanks. - Nick -----Original Message----- From: joshthephysic...@gmail.com [mailto:joshthephysic...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Josh Doe Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 8:51 AM To: Marc Zoss Cc: impo...@openstreetmap.org; talk-us@openstreetmap.org; Nick Chamberlain Subject: Re: [Imports] [Talk-us] Uploads to City of Salisbury, MD On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 8:04 AM, Marc Zoss <marcz...@gmail.com> wrote: > I briefly downloaded all sby:bldgtype-tagged ways and relation of Maryland through the overpass-api.

Thanks for doing that, as that was the next step I was going to try. I posted some regarding the changesets here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Nick_SPW#Salisbury.2C_Maryl and_import I think perhaps we should revert a subset of the changesets, such as the dangling nodes, and then use your method to handle the rest. -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
