Given that you seem to be going ahead with this import, notwithstanding 
the (relatively few) matching issues highlighted in this thread and 
potential other issues (e.g. licence problems) raised elsewhere, are you 
going to warn mappers in an area when their area is likely to be 
affected by this import, so that they can do the necessary data checking 
work?

You've had a "please import" message from the West Midlands in the 
talk-gb thread, of course, but some of the data imported so far isn't in 
that area:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/37773367

You may, of course, have rechecked everything in that changeset manually 
without recourse to Google-derived location information - but in that 
case it's really worth saying so on the changeset itself.

Cheers,

Andy
