[Imports] Chatham County North Carolina USA Address Import

[Tommy Bruce]

Hi Leif this is Sunfishtommy

If you could give a little more time between notification and import i think that would be good.  Between first notification and the import I think a minimum of 2 weeks would be healthy.  Just to give more time for people to see and comment. 

It’s ultimately up to you, but only 4-5 days is a little short.

The only problem I ran into was an internet disconnect in the middle of the 10th upload (of 11).  Only half of all addresses in the area had been added OSM when my internet connection broke.  To fix the issue, I closed the changeset, deleted all addresses added in the changeset (not all in the entire import), and re-uploaded that section.  No damage was done to the OSM database.  Other than the internet problem, everything went perfectly!

I will follow the exact same procedure as the last import, this time ensuring that I use a different computer that will not lose connection.  I have already created a new wiki page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Chatham_County,_North_Carolina_Address_Import) for the import.

The program corrected casing (CHAPEL HILL -> Chapel Hill), created addr:street ("streetDirection"="N", "streetName" = "COLUMBIA", & "streetType"="ST" -> "addr:street"="North Columbia Street"), and flagged duplicates of existing addresses by comparing the dataset to the existing addresses in the OSM database.
