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.
