Hi Frank,

I see that you have taken your first steps along the import learning
curve in Melville.  Superficially, Melville "looks better".

Unfortunately, imports are hard to do right.  Have another look and
you'll find that the JOSM validator points out almost a thousand
duplicate ways.  It appears that you uploaded everything twice.

For the parts of Melville that were already mapped, it appears that
you have uploaded twice there as well, so some roads, etc are now in
triplicate.

The JOSM validator plug in will help you fix the duplicates and other
gross errors.  Send us a note on the talk-ca list if you would like to
have some other mappers help you clear things up.
