<br>
from time to time I remind users participating in imports to use a<br>
dedicated account for their participation. [1] A Canadian asked me<br>
yesterday if a user who participates in multiple imports needs one<br>
account per import or if one account for all imports is sufficient. [2]<br>
<br>
I think that a user only has to create one account for all imports if it<br>
is possible to distinguish independent imports (good and meaningful<br>
changeset comments!). The main idea behind this requirement is that if<br>
anything is wrong the import (e.g. technical or legal issues), anyone<br>
(including the mapper himself) can revert the import with less<br>
collateral damage.<br>
<br>
What are your opinions?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

[1] I don't revert imports just because they were uploaded with the<br>
wrong account. Sometimes users accidentially use the wrong account. This<br>
happens even to me. In other cases users are not aware that this<br>
requirement exists (it is hidden in the guideline).<br>
[2] The personal message was a response to a changeset comment by me.<br>
