Hi all

Found either some bad jokes or (I'm afraid) more likely vandalism, all done
by one apparent new mapper, just on a month ago.

User is https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Jelena%20Jaredic

Their work, all done on the same day:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Jelena%20Jaredic/history#map=6/-31.475/151.941

The first one I noticed (by checking the incorrect phone numbers report!)
was an internet cafe, supposedly in the middle of a service station
carpark!
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7372255785#map=19/-34.28286/150.63696

I thought this may have been a simple error, or possibly mapping a building
that doesn't yet appear on imagery, so was going to try to contact them via
changeset comments, but I then saw that they had mapped 2 kindies, also on
the grounds of that servo!

Have now looked at all of their changesets & everyone of them appear to be
dodgy, with Govt / telecommunications offices out in the middle of nowhere,
cafes etc in the middle of parks, a waterfall named as "Aboriginal land" &,
for the piece de resistance, a Doctor's office, supposedly located in St
Kilda, but actually mapped in the middle of the taxiways at Sydney
Kingsford-Smith Airport!
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7372255885#map=17/-33.93882/151.17989

Could somebody please revert all these changes?

Is there anything else we should do here with regard to reporting them?

Thanks

Graeme
