Comment from keithonearth
Where did this data come from? It appears to be an import. Was it discussed prior to importing? If so please provide a link to the discussion.
Thank you for any information that can be provided.

Oops, I see that the second edit (http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/21877729) by thevikas provides a source of "election commission of india - public data". So it was an import. As such I'd like more information about any discussion that took place before the import was done. More info about the source would be great too.

Comment from keithonearth
In addition to my concern about potential lack of discussion prior to an import, I have concerns about the quality and accuracy of this data. Of the 1270 nodes originally added with this edit 183 of them have identical coordinates with one or more other nodes. They were originally added as polling stations, and later edited to schools "so they can show in map", this seems like a pretty clear case of tagging for the renderer. While many polling stations may be located in schools, are they *always* located in schools? It seems unlikely to me. Additionally many of these "schools" are not visible in the Bing imagery, with empty fields or woods clearly visible. Most are located in areas with many buildings, and it's not possible to determine if there is a school present or not.
I hope thevikas will be able to clear up my concerns.

Just reached here. I did not have any discussion before importing it. Actually it was also my first large scale import. So I also dont know the practises. I just figured out josm changeset format and made myself. The schools were marked since most (99%) polling stations are govt schools. POIs of Kashmir either in google or bing or any other commercial maps are very few. This is not a popular spot of travel compared to many others. But this data is public and can be found in eci.gov sites. Some polling station numbers may change between elections but schools are permament. I dont reside here but I was in Srinagar while I imported it in 2014 (i think). Please ask questions and I can gather better answers from locals.

It would be a good idea to read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines. The short story is that imports should only be done with great care. I'm still not convinced that this import is beneficial, and will ask the DWG to take a look.
