Thank you, Mike,
I understand what you are saying but am not sure I can write an
import/upload process before successfully uploading the data and this is
the last step to that.
Talking about the corrections: Since we already corrected the data, I will
make sure that in the guide, I emphasize that for the new mappers as more,
I am just going to simply edit my .csv and then reconvert it to a geojson.
A snippet of the csv download before changes are made:

I am following the normal JOSM edit guideline
<https://toolbox.hotosm.org/pages/data-cleaning-upload-and-quality-assurance/5.1-data-cleaning-with-josm/>
to perform the upload.  [Downlaod data in AOI, merge, validate, upload]
My data is just water points, nothing extra. So, I do not think I have
anything complicated.

Stellamaris
