    I've already touched on this with the sys admins and saved refs to
    the ones that I fixed. However it is unlikely that we will do any
    thing with the information as the accounts are extremely unlikely to
    be reused, and on the other hand, given that we have a known US
    based SEO company that has created (literally) 1000s of such
    accounts (but with slightly less spammy edits), and "we" haven't
    taken any action, why should we in this case?<br>

                      search engine optimization company (SEO), have
                      damaged a number of ways in the US. Martijn Van
                      Exel pointed out the problem on Slack the other
                      day. What they did was to add their client to a
                      street, often changing the name of the street to
                      the company.  Fortunately they made it easy to
                      find using overpass [1] by adding in the clients
                      address, phone number, source and website. The
                      query looks for addresses and websites on ways. 
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>West of the Mississippi has been fixed. There
                        are some false positives when running the query,
                        they are all park polygons with both
                        leisure=park and highway=pedestrian. The website
                        url is of the park.<br>

                        </div>
                        <div>If someone would like to help clean up the
                          rest of damage they did, just run the overpass
                          query for an area, state, county, etc. to get
                          a list of ways that match the query. From
                          there just select the way which will open OSM
                          in another tab where you can use your favorite
                          editor to fix. Use the history feature or
                          TIGER data to get the correct road name. The
                          addr:street they added may not be anywhere
                          near your way. <br>
