[Talk-GB] New mapper has imported all Nottingham street lights

[Dave F.]

When I started editing OSM I was told "if it's physical you can map it". 
Personally I wouldn't add such data a I'd rather spend my time adding 
what I consider to be more useful data.Is the data valid? Is it an 
accurate import? Would he have flagged it up if the user had added them 
manually one at a time? If the answers are Yes/Yes/No, then is there a 
genuine problem?
