<html><head></head><body>Many schools in Uganda will follow exactly that name pattern: "VILLAGE NAME Primary School".<br>
<br>
This is extremely common, especially in smaller places. So please don't delete "Primary / Secondary School" from the name tag as it is most likely an integral part of the name indeed.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Am 24.

It happens many times. As I said, it would be very nice<br /> to have a<br /> JOSM plugin that would address switching between a list of user<br /> accounts. My vision would be of a simple plugin that would<br /> allow to:<br /> <br /> 1) Create a list of user accounts, instead of having only<br /> place for one,<br />
as it is with the JOSM standard Preferences.<br /> <br /> 2) Easy button in the tools bar to switch between user accounts.<br /> <br /> 3) A checkbox to decide if you want JOSM to warn you what's<br /> the user you<br /> are using when uploading the data to OSM. That means: you<br /> hit the upload<br /> button, and as a final step, JOSM tells you: you are<br /> uploading with<br /> Polyglot OSM user account. Accept? (and the typical "cancel"<br /> and "Ok"<br /> buttons).<br /> <br /> You have contributed lots of comments and great ideas, so I<br /> am not going<br /> to pressure you with contributing more. Anyway, although<br /> it's a bit of a<br /> nuissance, you will get used after a while. Many of us have<br /> done this<br /> since about 3 years ago for lots of
manual imports! And, if<br /> you get a<br /> task with say 15 schools (I did yesterday one with 147!),<br /> the time you<br /> spend switching between user accounts is less than 1% of the<br /> total.<br /> <br /> Cheers,<br /> <br /> Rafael.<br /> <br /> On 22/01/16 22:17, Jo wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #ad7fa8; padding-left: 1ex;"> I tried to use my import account.

I<br /> can write a script that would make the process easier. I'm not sure<br /> about license issues though. If I drag a node over Bing imagery and<br /> upload it to Openstreetmap. Can I use those coordinates on Wikidata<br /> if I mention the source properly? Or are they already ODBL and<br /> therefore incompatible. That would be really annoying. It would mean<br /> I have to make sure to add the coordinates to Wikidata first, and<br /> only after doing that upload to Openstreetmap, but I want to mention<br /> the source on Wikidata, so I need a reference
url to the OSM object...<br /><br /> I think, at least for the schools with WP articles, it makes sense<br /> to do this. For the others I think it makes sense as well, but it's<br /> a lot more work. They would all get identifiers that way, which may<br /> make later conflation easier.<br /><br /> Jo<br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br /> Imports mailing list<br /> Imports@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org><br /></blockquote></blockquote> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org<br /> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org>><br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #ad7fa8; padding-left: 1ex;"> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org<br /></blockquote> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org><br /> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org<br /> <mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org>>><br /><blockquote
