can you add a sentence and not only a url ? see [1]
for ex :
description=Building and Address Import
source=Mountlake Terrace, WA
url=https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mountlake_Terrace_Import

why detacted house is taged as building=house ?
what's building=manufactured ? manufactured seem to be how the building 
is build, not what it look like
189 Other Residential 	yes  -> residential ?

that information while you're buzzing about in the import.

I think it's better to make a changeset for the import itself and 
another changeset for everything else (if you add a coffeeshop that is 
not in the import source, it's not very readable to have it in the 
import changeset)
