Thanks Gregory. Blackadder kindly forwarded my message to the data working group. I've no idea what timescales they work to, but after 48h with no reply from anyone I went ahead and manually reverted the edits. Since some of the changes included adding silly POIs to Downing Street I decided a speedy response was necessary. I'm now keeping a close eye on the accounts in question...
