For info, following discussion in the #osm-gb IRC channel I've reverted a couple of changesets by "DoubleA" *. They're an armchair mapper from near Munich, I believe, and their grasp of English (language and custom) is limited, which means that they often don't understand why certain things have been tagged certain ways.

Unfortunately, what they do next is to delete the things that they do not understand.

I have tried, over a period of about 3 months, to try and explain that "just deleting tags that you don't understand" is not a good idea. I suspect that I'm not the only one who's been in contact.

They have, in the past, had edits reverted by the DWG, although they've not as far as I'm aware been blocked.

Cheers,

Andy
