Hi
Yes, you should clean up duplicates but if possible please follow these
rules:
* don't deduplicate objects which have a tag "paho:id". Rather add a
relation as described here
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals#Duplicates
.
* if there are obvious duplicates of nodes/ways *not* having a tag
"paho:id" with nodes/ways *having* a "paho:id" then please remove the
node without "paho:id", but make sure that you merge the already mapped
tag sets
> Secondly, is there a reason why most of the names are in all caps in
OSM, even though this is not the normal convention for names in OSM?
That's because the data from the PAHO master list is formatted that way,
at least in most cases.
You are of course free to clean-up whatever you want. There is a certain
risk, though, that your updates get overwritten with the next import.
Regards
Karl

Sorry if I am missing the point here. Am I right in thinking that
those overseeing the import of hospitals do not want mappers to clear
up obvious duplicates in OSM?

(e.g., in Jacmel).

Normally I would just go ahead and fix these things, as I would for
any other imported data in OSM (that is why, even where OSM has
imported data, it is often better than the imported data, due to
clean-up by OSMers). So please do flag up if there is a good reason
not to!
Thanks
David
