The source is opendata from Nottingham and the data refers to a physical
entity- so why revert it except to enforce a point of etiquett? The
criterion of usefulness is not valid. I thought the whole point of entering
data is that someone somewhere will find a use for it - you might not see
its
Actually, this type of import would have been very useful for my own
project which uses OSM data for 3D maps. I was a little miffed to see
it was simply reverted with no discussion. Good detailed data such as
this is lacking very much in the UK, and we're very far behind other
countries such as

The main reason why this data set is not useful is that the PFI contractor
running Nottingham Streetlights is about 40% through a programme to replace
them all. Broadly speaking I'm against imports if not thought through and
not done without some consultation with local mappers. I am, however,

What happens if new contributors work out how to use the mapping tools but
don't come across the import guidelines (or for that matter the community,
mailing lists, etc)?
I've just used JOSM to open a shapefile and attempt to upload it (I
obviously didn't upload it). JOSM gave a warning message:
Don't need to say much more, other than it's an undiscussed import and if
we'd thought it would be useful could have done it anytime in the past 18

Will plan to revert in 1 days time if no further action by the mapper.
I know this may be a silly question, but why revert if it adds to the map?
It runs the risk of alienating a new contributor... I'm not au fait with

Like you, I personally wouldn't have imported this. My main rule is about
maintainability. I'm yet to find a good tool for comparing the original
import (be that from the original file or from OSM) to a new version
