This mapper:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Chris%20Parker <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Chris%20Parker>
seems a UK mapper to me and with a good track record of over 9000 changesets.
He mapped _every_ roundabout on this square as a village_green:

I have created an overpass for the village_green tag (with a color stylesheet).
Currently it finds everything in the UK, but is easily to change to find other countries.

The person who “moved” the pictures did not say where he moved them…
I contacted him on his talk page an he explained what he had done.
It is ok with me.

You misunderstand me here, I objected to moving those pictures without disccussing _that_ with me first.
And talking about discussion: it was already discussed on this mailing list before I added the pictures to the wiki:

And because it’s use outside of the UK seems to me not possible (or even allowed) because of legal consequences, someone should tell the Spanish mappers they have to fix something:

Or the mappers in Belgium:

Earlier in this discussion I wrote: “do we need another year”?
I think we do!
