Bulk edits should be discussed, so opening this thread was a great idea! You’re basically done; You’d need to wait a bit to see if someone has objections or feedback. If there are no objections, you can go ahead and perform the edit.
I highly recommended that you then document the edit well:
- You can post the changesets numbers here or on the Wiki for the record.
- You can edit the Bots_and_imports section of the Israel Wiki page to link to this post.
- @yrtimiD is keeping track of the imports in this post, but I see he already added this thread there.
Further recommendations before you begin the import:
- Reading Israel - OpenStreetMap Wiki
- Maybe performing some editing in JOSM to get a feel for it. It has more learning curve than the web editor but is more powerful.
- Check out who’s editing your area of interest, and maybe notify them of the incoming import if it seems relevant to what they like editing. There are various tools mentioned in the Wiki, here are two of them:
- achavi - Augmented OSM Change Viewer [attic] - Select a bounding box around the area and put some date, you’ll see all edits since that date.
- osmCha - changeset analyzer. You can filter by region.
- Getting familiar with OSM in general and with the general tagging guidelines
- Maybe looking at places others have edited to get a feel of the expected tags
