Another point which was not mentionned about this import is that I<br>
found no "source" tag at all. The changeset comment is just refering<br>
to a wiki link. I'm not sure if it would not be better to add a source<br>
tag directly in the db, then being less dependent of the wiki (a page<br>
can be moved x times and original link lost after some years). If the<br>
Task Manager can insert automagically this in the changeset tags (plus<br>
maybe the year of the original dataset release), it costs no<br>
additional effort from the contributors.<br>
