I suspect that we'd need to be a bit more specific, as not all of the 
edits are actually incorrect.  As an example, Staveley 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/298908627/history) was changed 
by RR8 from a village to a town.  I added the original node last year as 
a village, but a quick search 
(http://www.staveleytowncouncil.gov.uk/pages/council/stc_council_index.html) 
suggests that it thinks that it's a town rather than a village, so RR8's 
edit here is connect.

However, just up the road, Fan Road 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/30507811/history) has been 
changed from tertiary to primary, but there's nothing at the north end 
of that to suggest that it's actually a primary.  I've dropped RR8 a 
note about that but haven't heard back (yet).

Quite a few of the latest series of edits are questionable, or of 
relatively poor quality, but which edits are definitively wrong?
