Clarity around Linz imports

[Rob Alley]

I recently got Linz2osm access so I've been working on some imports around areas I'm interested in but this has raised some questions:

1) I thought all the layers in linz2osm had been cleared for import some years ago but some of my imports have raised some queries. Are we good to import river_cl and ac_buildings? I have been careful to not blindly replace existing data and have been merging where appropriate.

2) What is the status of lake_poly? If I look through http://linz2osm.openstreetmap.org.nz/data_dict/dataset/mainland/ or http://linz2osm.openstreetmap.org.nz/layers/ LINZ2OSM says the tagging is not ready. However http://linz2osm.openstreetmap.org.nz/workslices/create/layer_in_dataset/169/ shows many slices as done and allows me to check out.   I wanted to look at merging some of the bodies of water to match the river_cl imports I've been working on. Currently a bunch of the bodies (e.g. Waitakere Reservoir, http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27010401) look to have been drawn free hand (no imagery or source specified though so guessing here) which means that rivers have their end points disconnected from the bodies.

Cheers, Rob.

re ac_buildings

Do not import these. We need to go through the proper channels to get this layer cleared. We will want to review the tagging for these as well and update the tags we use as we want to reduce the number of tags we use on each item (i.e. we don't need the links on each one). 

Cheers

Thanks Glen, can someone change the status of these in LINZ-2_OSM so they show as "tagging not ready" so that no-one else tries importing these?  Apparently it keeps re-occurring and is causing some consternation on the imports list.
