I disagree - he should not revert his previous edits which were genuine improvements. If anything at all, he could revert this particular edit of *=recreation_ground ways. But if you actually believe that it was wrong, you could just as well do it yourself - it will be dealt with faster that way. I also want to point out that Hannes is not "running a bot". He is, apparently, simply using JOSM. > Fixing typos is one thing, > but your leisure->landuse changes are not in the category of "99.5% of > mappers think that they are obviously correct fixes". In the case of recreation_ground, I agree that the number of uses of leisure=recreation_ground should have tipped him off that this might not be an uncontroversial edit. But with the other changes, things are different. I believe that changing a handful instances of an undocumented tag to an obviously synonymous tag that *is* documented and much more widely used (e.g. 1000x in the case of village green) is valuable cleanup work fully comparable to fixing typos. Without patient contributors silently performing routine housekeeping like that, our database would be even more messy than it already is.
