Dealing w/ Albuquerque has long been on my list of things to fix… I can 
volunteer, especially since I'll probably do a _proper_ import of the same 
addresses (I had already cleared them and several other NM cities as public 
domain).

Quick question: is there a Wiki page/something about how to deal with edited 
data? Some of those addresses, I've already fixed—should I only be deleting 
those points that have been untouched since the initial import?

Thanks,
Samat
