Thanks, It would be good if you can try to resolve this directly. I agree most users have good intentions. You actually don't really expect malicious behaviour.

I am happy to contact the user privately if you want to see if it could be resolved amicably. If he/she does not respond at all then following steps in the vandalism link you included would probably be the way forward. The problem of data quality is always going to be looming in the background and I believe more mature processes will develop to safeguard data quality as OSM matures. There is people that are uploading professionally surveyed data so the quality can be very high. I believe that the vast majority of people have good intentions and want it to be a better map. There is a careful balance to be struck between encouraging new users and pointing out problems with their contributions. The problems you describing does not sound like new user problems though. I have just myself reviewed contributions from other individuals to areas on the SA map to which I have contributed weeks of my time mapping. One tends to become very attached when having spend so much time ensuring good quality mapping. I would certainly not appreciate any wrong data in my areas of mapping.
