[Talk-ht] Health facilities import data quality

[David Ellams]

Sorry if I am missing the point here. Am I right in thinking that
those overseeing the import of hospitals do not want mappers to
clear up obvious duplicates in OSM?

spitals#Duplicates

(e.g., in Jacmel).

Secondly, is there a reason why most of the names are in all caps
in OSM, even though this is not the normal convention for names
in OSM?

Normally I would just go ahead and fix these things, as I would
for any other imported data in OSM (that is why, even where OSM
has imported data, it is often better than the imported data, due
to clean-up by OSMers). So please do flag up if there is a good
reason not to!

Thanks
David
