Hi Frederik, If it would be possible to exclude this region (<https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/935657>) from the revert, that would be helpful. I will do QA on all the imported elements, refine, connect and reclassify as needed. If this request poses an unecessarily huge obstacle for the DWG effort to combat this import - please go ahead and revert it all.
As Andreas Vilén mentions there was another import of placenames earlier this year. It seems to have been based off a half-way finished import suggestion. I have performed QA in the aforementioned area and a revert of this would be unfortunate.
