Hi all,

I am seeking advice on how to proceed with an issue around Melbourne and 
Victoria regarding tagging of abandoned/disused railway stations and railways.

The Outer Circle Line is a railway that has been almost entirely ripped up and 
abandoned. The former track and its stations were previously incorrectly tagged 
with railway=station which meant that they showed up on the default OSM layer, 
in navigation apps and other places where they should not appear. I and others 
have been changing them to the correct railway:historic=station_site or 
railway:historic=station as per the consensus here: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway_stations#Stations_and_sites_which_are_not_currently_in_operation.
 Unfortunately, every time these tags have been corrected, the user has changed 
them back.

One of the recent instances is here: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4695022174/history 

I have tried messaging the user twice but no response was received and, as of 
eight days ago, the reverting has continued. I know of at least three other 
users who have also tried contacting this user over the past year or so to no 
avail.

Any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks,

Philip
