When we "import" a list of facilities we get from a third party,
e.g. the fuel station import last year, most of the time the raw
data is not fitting to osm needs very well.<br><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>> </span></b></font>
Most of the time there's some kind of preprocessing, be it manually
or automatically - and if it's done by a bot that bot usually has to
be developed, too.<br><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>> </span></b></font>
All this is part of the import process IMHO, yes</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Ok, in our case this is done manually during the merge.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>> </span></b></font>All versions?<br>

Apart from that while OSM basically has English as the lingua
franca, I think it's a bad idea to rely on French only for
documentation - inside osm as well as for outside documentation like
cadastre.gouv.fr.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I guess this at been written in french only because it was targeting french communauty for OSM documentation</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Cheers <br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Julien<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier
