Should I just manually delete, or would it be better for someone to do
a revert.
In a a case where someone has made a few valid edits and then something
that obviously isn't, I'd personally start with something like "I think
you may have left your keyboard unattended and your seven-year-old
brother has been playing". It's an (artificial) way of saying "this is
not OK" without saying "you did a bad thing". I'd add this publically to
the changeset discussion so everyone can see what's happening. I'd then
go on to explain why it's not OK to do things like this in OSM, and to
point to places where it might be OK (like OpenGeoFiction, though I'm
not sure they're big on pictures of animals).
I'd also check the previous edits, to make sure that there was nothing
hidden in there that was also dodgy, and I'd revert the dodgy stuff. It
looks like a straight revert should work here (JOSM revert plugin*).
Cheers,
Andy (SomeoneElse, a member of the DWG, but all of the above is doable
without any DWG "special powers").
* a slight caveat applies at the moment - when I last looked, the latest
version of JOSM's reverter plugin didn't work with the tested version of
JOSM. If prompted to update plugins by JOSM don't, and you should be OK.
