If you have copied streetnames from Google Maps, please let the Data Working
Group know ([email protected]) so that they can remove it from the
database. Thanks.

Thanks for the input from everyone.
So it sounds like the process is a combo of contacting the mapper and
sending an send an email to the DWG? Do they handle these cases gently
with new users so as not to discourage future mapping?
In a case like this, a reversion probably needs to be done. In the past,
I have contacted the mapper and also asked this list for help from
someone experienced with reversions to do the reversion and someone on
the list checked it out and did the reversion.
I suppose overall, I am asking is there a formal / accepted process for
handling obvious mistakes and potential reversions?
I think this could be a job for the Welcoming Committee. I'm not sure if
there is one - I think I remember reading something about that topic on
one of the mailing lists. New users sometimes don't know all of "the
rules", or need to be reminded, and should be guided along when they
make mistakes. I suppose that's part of the overall community ethos as
well, i.e. reach out to people and communicate with them as we find issues.
