You should definitely get in touch with the German community either on
the talk-de list or on the German forum to hear their opinion (and
possible reasons why the import has not been done until now - I don't
know if there are any but there might).
If you do speak German it would also be more respectful towards the
local community to write your changeset comments in German rather than
English.
You would not usually have a "source" and "license" tag on the object
itself; having a source on the changeset is sufficient and the license
tag is confusing since the given license would not be acceptable for
import without the special waiver.
Your "wikipedia" tag has a double colon which doesn't work.
Where the boundaries are larger you might have to start using relations
as ways are limited to 2000 nodes each. The use of relations would also
be expected where one of the boundaries to be imported shares a longer
part of its boundary with another geometry - for example a neighbouring
protected area, or your protected area ends exactly at an
administrative border. In these cases you would be expected (at least in
Germany) to re-use the existing linework rather than importing a new
line that is "almost" identical to the existing one.
Bye
Frederik
