 Why didn't osm-suspicious alert on the June 2 change that deleted the Niger?Seems that should have been an obvious change to flag!

1.What else can be done to track mappers like this?Do we have any tool that could provide the location of such mapper at the point of mapping? 2.With this kind of problem,I think its also necessary to make the profile completion of newbies signing up to OSM mandatory.maybe providing questions such as? Do you already belong to local OSM community?if yes,provide name and location how else can we reach you?phone no?...... 
  We need to keep effective track of new OSM mappers so we handle or prevent this kind of problem.The mappers's username:TimSchepan has no other info about his/her profile. Thanks @ John for the great job you re doing. Victor N.Sunday

  So far I've retagged some 750 buildings in different areas in Mali but the changeset covers a lot of ground and a number of countries so it might be nice for someone to have a look at what has happened. 
  The mapper has made no reply to a query.
