Ciao, dopo l'import dei dati di Concordia sul Secchia, sono stato contattato da un utente (pnorman) che mi ha chiesto lumi circa il mio operato (mi verrebbe da dire "cazziato", ma è stato molto gentile :-) ). Vi riporto il suo messaggio e la mia risposta, con preghiera di correggermi se ho detto castronerie e/o di contattarlo pure se credete che la mia risposta sia stata lacunosa o errata.
8<-------------------------8<----------- Il suo messaggio -----8<----------------------8<---------------- Da pnorman Oggetto Imports Data 1 Giugno 2012 alle 06:01 I noticed you importing in Italy in the changeset http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11762408 I looked for documentation for this import, but couldn't find any. Could you please point me at the wiki documentation and the discussion on the imports mailing list that happened before this import? As a remind, the import guidelines are at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines They also call for imports to be done from a dedicated account. Providing links in the profile of that account to the import documentation can be helpful It also looks you deleted all the existing buildings, for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/78321342 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/152081061 The second one had tags on it. Why did you delete these? It looks like you deleted existing data to import data, which is not recommended.

I made the import how it's described in the "Inserimento con JOSM" paragraph of the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Emilia_Romagna/Terremoto_Emilia_2012 page. I do a resume for you: 1) open the OSM file derived from the Regione Emilia Romagna's DB 2) open the same area 3) check (manually!) what buildings are in the OSM DB now and are/aren't in the Regione Emilia Romagna's datas and delete the double ones: this is made 'cause the buildings in the Regione Emilia Romagna's DB are better than the previously 4) check with the "PCN 2006" WMS that the building are georeferenced correctly 5) upload data to OSM > Why did you delete these? It looks like you deleted existing data to import > data, which is not recommended. As I said, the new datas are better than the older. As you can see it's not an "automatic" import, but there's always a human check ... Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong, because as italian community we are planning to import more buildings in the same way. Of course you can write to the Talk-it mailing list (don't worry about the language - you can write in English).
