Hi<br>
<br>
Yes, you should clean up duplicates but if possible please follow these
rules:<br>
* don't deduplicate objects which have a tag "paho:id". Rather add a
relation as described here <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals#Duplicates">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals#Duplicates</a>
.<br>
* if there are obvious duplicates of nodes/ways *not* having a tag
"paho:id" with nodes/ways *having* a "paho:id" then please remove the
node without "paho:id", but make sure that you merge the already mapped
tag sets <br>
<br>
> Secondly, is there a reason why most of the names are in all caps
in
OSM, even though this is not the normal convention for names in OSM?<br>
That's because the data from the PAHO master list is formatted that
way, at least in most cases. <br>
<br>
You are of course free to clean-up whatever you want. There is a
certain risk, though, that your updates get overwritten with the next
import. <br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Karl <br>

<div>Sorry if I am missing the point here. Am I right in thinking
that those overseeing the import of hospitals do not want mappers to
clear up obvious duplicates in OSM?</div>

<div>Normally I would just go ahead and fix these things, as I would
for any other imported data in OSM (that is why, even where OSM has
imported data, it is often better than the imported data, due to
clean-up by OSMers). So please do flag up if there is a good reason not
to!</div>
