Talk:Import/Maine E911 Addresses

Duplicates

"Since name was not used for matching, new elements may have been imported next to old elements with the same name. Won't do won't fix, the effect was small." - is it somehow hard to fix them? Or is it hard to detect such cases? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 21:18, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. During my manual review steps I got a general sense that this issue occured infrequently, would be more easily fixed by a local, would not be a big problem for data consumers, and my time was better spent on other tasks. I'm going to do some analysis to see if I can verify my 'sense' with data, and post back here. Stay tuned!--Blackboxlogic (talk) 16:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

After much research, the short answer: Duplicate elements (by name) are common in Maine. I made the problem about 25% worse. I just now resolved the duplications that I created. But there are still nearly 1,500 pre-existing pairs of elements which I'm not interested in addressing Since that would take me about a week.--Blackboxlogic (talk) 20:48, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
