Even apart from the node cockup, whilst it's possible that the perpetrator of this changeset has checked that every item changed did in fact sell processed dead cow, I suspect that that's unlikely. For example, I note after a quick Google that "McDonalds Carpets & Rugs" spell their name without an apostrophe.

Most people here are extremely tolerant of people coming to the project anew and not quite understanding what they need to do first time, and are more than willing to help (see the huge amount of time people put into providing answers on the "help." site as an example of that), but this is someone who's been editing for a year.

Many years ago at work we used to have a "coding donkey" (a souvenir of someone's holiday long ago) which was passed around in response to recent embarrassing committed code. Perhaps OSM needs something similar, a "muppet of the month" perhaps?

Cheers,
Andy
