So, I start this new email thread, hoping this can start a discussion. In https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CAR_Imports are listed the three UNICEF datasets. To facilitate the review, I will present the slight changes compared to what had been presented and approved in 2012, and copy/paste what I already explained in previous emails: - fixme with geodata as a quality check had been approved (or not seen) but I prefer to take it away as it seems to make problems - *source* > source:UNICEF,2012 would be tagged per object. Wold be really interesting to > have such a tag as a minimum of metadata, but I know that, IMHO > unfortunately, the trend is to put a source tag to the changeset (good > idea, but of course only if everything in the changeset comes from the > same source) and remove any source tag per object (very regretful for > the metadata by object; means almost any OSM data extract another > formats will not have any source for the data) - *admin boundaries names* > Here Once again, this is for quality check during and after the imports.

One thing to also keep in mind is taht this import is around 3,300 nodes, therefore it is a very light dataset and adding a few tags really useful for data control, considering its humanitarian ground, would only represent a few more Kb.
