hello Parcanman,
This looks like a mass import of data from a third party source that hasn't been discussed with the wider OSM community.
You may not be aware there are import guidelines http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines including an imports@ discussion list, where mass additions to OSM of this kind should be discussed; there you should be able to get help with most appropriate tagging for the data and linking it to objects already in OSM.

Another mapper has been in touch with the Data Working Group to complain about this undiscussed import and request that we revert it, along with http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/29192498
It would be good to hear your opinion, as it stands the DWG is likely to go ahead and revert these undiscussed imports...

This is an import of public data from the state department of fish and wildlife. Before submitting it I personally viewed each and every point to make sure that it is where it is supposed to be using bing with the proper alignment. All of the data in this post is individual nodes describing the location of a public boat launch facility.
I'll admit that I may have created a few duplicates by accident,

The tagging includes all of the source files attributes and there are duplicates. Please revert the changeset, and follow the import process. The tagging issues and duplicate points can easily be addressed with a bit more more up front preparation time.
