If you are saying that you regularly kill any modifications made by mappers and replace the OSM geometry with some official shape file without even investigating who changed what and why, then you are clearly acting against OSM best practice and you should stop! OSM is not intended to be a "mirror" of some official data set. You may edit OSM's data with the aid of third party data - but not blindly and without looking at what you are doing. How do you make sure that you are not overwriting a change that someone has made on purpose because there was a mistake in the "official" geometry?
