I do this all the time. I know some people like to dump data into OSM unedited with an "import" account, and then go back and "fix it up" with their normal user account. This doesn't make any sense to me; why add possibly invalid data? I've always made a practice of thoroughly reviewing and editing any data in JOSM _before_ I upload it. In this case using an import account doesn't make sense to me, however I do use source=* tags on the changesets. I've mostly done this with my county's street centerline and parks database (with proper permission). -Josh _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list Imports@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
