Richard,
Do you have a link to Import Guidelines that are specific to Canvec
data?
I think http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec needs to have some
specific guidelines for canvec imports.
In particular
1. A caution to avoid importing coastlines or large lakes unless you have
substantial experience importing canvec and understand how coastlines get
generated/rendered in OSM. We have had enough problems/complaints with
coastlines that I think we need a specific caution.
2. A warning to avoid duplicate features. (one might argue that this is
obvious but the generic import guidelines don't actually mention this and
clearly people are importing a lot of duplicate features)
3. To check keeprite (or something similar) after your import so you can
find/fix some of the problems you will create.
If no one objects I will update the above mentioned wiki page to reflect
include those warnings.
Steve
Bernie.

Subject: [Talk-ca] import complaints
dear all,
I've heard some LOUD complaints about imports in Canada. Please be
sure to follow the import guidelines, including special import
accounts, and please be sure to check your work and fix errors.
Latest issue appears to be a large broken water polygon.
Best regards,
Richard
