<div>Thanks for looking at them. Fortunately there wasn't too
many to fix mannually. Some of vandalism goes back 2 or 3
years if I recall correctly. I did check Canada thinking that
they might have hit them as well, but other than some strange
addresses on ways, it was clean.</div>

<div>I plan to look at the original changesets to see if there
is any clue which company was behind it. Do you know if I gave
the systems admin people a list of user if they could check
the email used to create the account belongs to one company?</div>

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>

<p>I''m in the process of fixing a couple of these. and I
couldn't help noticing that some of them can't simply be

<div dir="ltr">Edits, from what appears to be a
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><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>
