I take offense at your wording (on the page): "Where in the United States could government imports improve OpenStreetMap?" - you might add data to OSM but will you improve OSM? It's not the same, and equating the two is a mistake that insiders should not make.

The wording

Green squares show places where data imports are unlikely to interfere with 
community mapping.

is also misleading; it has been shown that imports can very well interfere with *future* community mapping of which you would, naturally, not find traces in the data you analysed.

The correct wording is:

"Green squares show places where little or no community mapping has taken place in the past."

Frederik
