It seems they didn't reach you?<br></span><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content" style="font-size: 12px;">Well, you could start with one or 2 railways that are single track anyway, so you could iron out problems that could come up at greater style imports. </span></div></div></blockquote><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I have checked the data in QGIS, for both irregularities and behaviour at railway hubs. I did not find any problems during that check. That doesn't get rid of all possible errors, but I prefer fixing some leftover errors later, than delaying this and other imports by doing everything in pieces or manually. Moreover, the previous time I did this import (described on the wiki) I didn't encounter any problems (apart from not being aware of the import guidelines). Concluding: doing this import in one single edit makes it really easy to revert, which allows getting rid of errors. </span></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content" style="font-size: 12px;">Since you need to hand-check for already existing data and merge those nodes back into the tracks this will need a lot of steps anyway I guess.</span></div></div></blockquote>I don't think it's necessary; as described on the wiki, I used <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/">http://overpass-turbo.eu/</a> in order to create <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Milestone_overpass.PNG">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Milestone_overpass.PNG</a> It shows quite clear that there are only two railway milestones in the entire Netherlands. I will handle those with care.</div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">Don't forget to run this on a dedicated account <br></span></div></div></blockquote><span> </span>Why would I run this on a dedicated account?<blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">and document everything on the wiki (source of the data, license, whatever). </span></div></div></blockquote><span> </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Everything is, in my perception, documented on the wiki (as far as possible at this moment). I will update the wiki on any progress.</span></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">I personally would entirely leave out the "do not touch" or "source" comment and just attach that to the changeset comment.</span></div></div></blockquote>As also described on the wiki and in the mail discussion in the imports mailing list, I abolished the idea of any comments. It's just source=ProRail and source:ProRail=Railmaps / source:ProRail=OpenOV now.</div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">Those locations should also have a dot as decimal separator, you had a komma in your Excel sheet. It's already with a dot in the wiki.<br></span></div></div></blockquote><span> I had a comma in my Excel sheet because the ProRail data uses commas aswell. The wiki contains the final output (the import) in accordance with tagging schemes. Would you happen to have a suggestion to convert the commas to dots? I tried some commands in QGIS, but didn't find a solution yet.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>What would be your opinion on the node placement? Can I just import the nodes on the reference ribbon, or are you in favor of nodes per railway track? </div></body></html>
