Hi<br>
<br>
I've use fixme= inaccurate location to indicate entities known to
exist but not their exact location (say 100-200m)<br>
<br>
Use fixme as they are flagged by OSM validators

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am looking for
comments and advice regarding this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am working with a
group of local mappers in Sierra Leone, Africa, under the
name WAMM (West Africa Motorbike Mappers). They are trying
to find and identify all the towns, villages, hamlets in
Sierra Leone and have completed one whole District
(Kailahun) and are well into their second District (Kenema).
At each community they take a GPS reading to fix where they
are (lat and long supplied) and then ask prominent locals
(chief/headman/etc) for the name, historical name, any
alternate names. They have also supplied other important
data for the community such as the existence of a market and
which days it is open, also the existence of a water pump.
Unfortunately, while they have confirmed the existence of
the latter two they have not identified their position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The names of towns and
villages were originally added in 2014 first by <b>rwst</b>
with <i>source=GNS</i> and <i>gns_ufi=* </i>and in 2014
by Pierzen_import adding Sierra Leone place nodes and Unocha
pcodes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">WAMM have supplied a
spreadsheet with the data collected and want to know if it
can be added to OpenStreetMap. There are a lot of new names
of smaller communities and confirmation of the names that
the locals call their communities. This is not a problem and
can be checked against the existing data already on
OpenStreetMap.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I want to know how you
feel about adding the market and water_pump data that does
not yet exist on the map. In Africa the existence of a
market and/or a water_pump is not only important information
for the locals, it is important information for any medical
or humanitarian teams carrying out any assessment or
intervention in the area. I wish to add this data to the map
near the name of the community with a fixme stating that the
existence has been confirmed but the location is not yet
known. The fact that it is there will be spotted by
subsequent mappers and hopefully they will be able to move
it to it’s correct location.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Look forward to hearing
from you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
