[HOT] idp:camp_site=spontaneous_camp from Nepal earthquake

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Thanks for a reply! 

I setup documentation required for mass edit at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/remove_nepal_earthquake_2015_spontaneous_camp

Let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

BTW, if HOT community needs help with mass removal of something 
(like here - outdated data, or cases where area was tragically badly mapped,
blocking proper mapping, reverting undiscussed imports etc)
I and likely other can help with cleanup (asking on 
osm talk mailing list or
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Discord or
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM_centric_Telegram_accounts
is likely to result in a help
).

In this case it will likely take more time to verify that it can be mass deleted
rather than mass deletion itself.

After such events, the partners want to keep these for a short period. But it is surely time to remove these. Could the Nepal community tell us if they agree to remove these ?
