The discussion on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/83025584
suggests that:
* The people adding the data do have an activity
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Unite_Maps_Initiative listed at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities
* There are comments saying "it's not an import, it's mapping from
imagery"
* The imagery is allegedly OK from a licence standpoint (based on one
mapper's changeset comments)
If all the above is correct then it becomes an issue of "poor quality
organised mapping" rather than "undiscussed import". In a situation
like that it would make sense to continue commenting on changesets
wherever what was mapped does not match reality. I'd also ask how
something like that got through
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Unite_Maps_Initiative#Validation_process
.
It would also be great to try and get the local community (or as local a
community as there is to a fairly remote bit of the DRC) involved so
that they are at least aware of the issues.
Best Regards,
Andy
