This one: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Birmingham_City_Council_trees_data I don't want you to think of it as *my* wiki page. Like any wiki page we should aim to reflect the balance of opinion on there. I tried to distill discussion so far. Actually we haven't discussed the tree tags all that much. I was summarising a lot from Will Phillips Mar 19th: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2017-March/020058.html ...with a bit of my own opinion in stirred in. There's a section of the wiki page 'Data fields'... https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Birmingham_City_Council_trees_data#Data_fields which you could fill in with more details. form, age, plot_number, and (as already mentioned) usrn, could all do with some explanation. As for my own opinions on the tags, my main feeling is that they add up to quite a heavyweight transfer of database columns. I think I would suggest slimming out these ones entirely: site_name=LUDGATE HILL ward=Ladywood constituency=City Centre Because (like the old is_in tag) these are not technically necessary, and not really appropriate for something as fine-grained and numerous as tree nodes. > Apart from some posts about the problems with email notifications of > changeset discussions, there has been nothing to indicate where I take this > import. I guess that's because the initative is really down to me. Yes. I guess the question now is whether it's necessary to fix some aspects of the tagging via a corrective bulk edit, and whether that should happen before or after finishing off the last bit of the import. You said you've done quadrants of the city: NW,SW & SE completed. So just the NE quadrant to finish off. You've added 42,974 so far, so there's what? another ~15,000 trees to add? To me it seems reasonable to just finish that off. That leaves us with a consistent uniform set of trees tagged the same way (to fix if needed).
