[Imports] Import of pharmacies in Catalunya, Spain.

[Lanxana .]

Hi,
we discussed the import in Telegram groups, and then write to the lists.
That's why times may have overlapped.

All the task will be revised, you can, if you want.

An user can have >1000 editions and his user_imports account only 10. It's
less expert for this?

All the pharmacies listed in the dataset are dispensing prescription drugs.
Only the parapharmacies (not included in the dataset) would not. We don't
know why another added dispensing=no to pharmacies. May be using
non-spanhish recipes? Can I buy a prescription drug in France with my
Spanish prescription, or would I have to go to a French doctor to send me a
French prescription? I say then that the French pharmacy does not sell
prescription drugs, and add dispensing=no?

Finally, we could have done the import without giving explanations, without
changesets or dedicated users, but we opted to, as far as possible, respond
to community concerns to help, and follow the OSM import guidelines.

If you see fit, reverse all changes, they are well identified. But I wonder
how many imports are being made without the community knowing ...
