Maybe edits without summary should be forbidden and deliberately misleading comments punished. More people should watch new pages, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:NewPages is not exactly obvious to find. If it does not help it could be mandatory for new pages to have some categories which would help people to watch what they are interested in. Do we really need http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=POI:Loblaws&redirect=no ???? One issue that I have - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges displays only the changes for the last few minutes and I don't see any setting to change that?
