You may have already also done some of these, for completeness and
for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar with these options:<br>
<br>
o One or more changeset discussion comments, including in a language
that they actually speak (in this case, based on the locale in the
changeset tags, French). A bad online translation will likely have
some words they recognise in it, even if the overall translation
quality is up there with "English As She Is Spoke". Don't expect a
response immediately though, if someone is trekking in the Sahara it
may be some time before they read it.<br>
<br>
o Try and contact other mappers in the same country and talk to them
about it. Maybe someone knows someone who can talk to the mapper?<br>
<br>
o If they're still actively doing it and seem not to be getting any
messages have a look at the "I've seen a problem; what should I do?"
section of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group">http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group</a> -
we can send them a message that they need to read before continuing
(and hopefully fix their email).<br>
<br>
Also, and most obviously, if you fancy having a go at fixing some of
these "giant buildings" then of course you can!<br>
