<div>Feel free to import whatever you like, as long as it is quality and relevant. I fully support it. We're here to make a quality map. We might as well use quality data if it already exists.</div>

<div>I don't think their intentions are to make it an IT project. They want to contribute to OpenStreetMap, just in a different way. Why are you on the imports mailing list if you don't are not okay with imports?</div>

Perhaps your lack of motivation comes from this <br /> mismatch.<br /> <br /> Is it really a good idea for you to be adding chicken slaughterhouses to <br /> the map thousands of miles away from where you are based on blindly <br /> trusting a government source?<br /> <br /> OSM currently has 11 objects in the US with "product=meat". After your <br /> import, there would be 4000, meaning that over 99.6% of all <br /> "product=meat" objects will have come from your import. There are <br /> currently 50 slaughterhosues in OSM in the US, and after your import <br /> there will be 750, i.e. over 90% of all slaughterhouses will be from <br /> your import. I doubt that this is a good idea.<br /> <br /> Additionally, were you do go ahead with this import I would strongly <br /> suggest not to use a source=* tag on every single imported feature. Put <br /> that on the changeset instead.<br /> <br /> Bye<br /> Frederik<br /> <br /> -- <br /> Frederik Ramm ## eMail <a href="mailto:frederik@remote.org">frederik@remote.org</a> ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33"<br /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Imports mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Imports@openstreetmap.org">Imports@openstreetmap.org</a><br /> <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports</a></blockquote>
