Thanks.  If you (or anyone else) thinks that there a might be problem 
with the edits that they're making right now*, can you ask them about 
that in changeset discussion comments?  That way comments are visible, 
and if a mapper doesn't reply to legitimate questions asked we can see 
that too (that was one of the things that I specifically mentiond in 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/903 ).

Hi,

Just to add a few more observations about the user 00crashtest
 editing behavior.

I found this user while adding turn lanes in SF Bay area.

Some observations were:


   -  Changing major road/link tags, e.g: highway=motorway to
   highway=motorway_link, highway=primary to trunk (US 101 where I reverted
   his two changeset).

 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/37704797


   -  Changing administrative boundary of SF frequently.

https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=37678277


   - Adding fantasy boundaries in major cities (San Francisco, Washington
   DC and Hong Kong)

See also https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/00crashtest/blocks , which I 
added on behalf of the Data Working Group yesterday and today.


We also had to intervene on a couple of previous occasions 
(reverting/redacting data and contact about invalid edits by 
messages/changeset discussions).

Hi, 

I would like to put out a worldwide alert for the work of 00crashtest
who has been tweaking things since January - 233 changesets and
counting... 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/00crashtest/history#map=4/45.53/-38.57


The problems I have seen include arbitrarily modifying admin boundaries
based on tourist information possibly other non-authoritative sources.
The boundaries of DC and the City of London are now incorrect/broken. I
am working on the City of London, exchanging changeset comments with the
user, but I can't do the whole world so I would encourage people to
check their area... 

Note that I think this is innocence and not vandalism, but they are
rather active at the moment and it would be great if we could repair and
limit the damage.
