Trial a bulk upload tool for multiple locations

[CloCkWeRX]

Scenario: I'm a small to medium sized business with multiple locations that I want to add.
Right now I have to individually key in a lot of details; which I'm unlikely to do.

I probably have existing data in spreadsheet form or similar. For example https://www.google.com/business is fairly effective, and offers tools for businesses with multiple locations; I may have that already.

Other example tools:
https://support.google.com/business/answer/4407564?p=feed_Locations&hl=en&_ga=1.7656818.1398136377.1487312012&visit_id=1-636229088589594747-291788015&rd=2

It would be interesting to provide an identical import format (spreadsheet) or similar.

I oppose this. Please suggest an import in this case. Notes are meant for singular errors or information from human to human (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Using_notes please read Don'ts).
An import following the guidelines (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines) is far more effective than dropping thousands of notes and have human editors deals with them in a case by case system! This would unnecessarily waste human efforts.

I think it is a reasonable suggestion within limits. You stretch the argument by conflating "a small to medium sized business with multiple locations" to meaning "thousands". I'm sure that the original poster meant "tens" of locations if that.
