Is all the data from vriemer flawed?

He was a very prolific editor before disappearing after being
contacted and asked to communicate with the OSM community. I run
across entities with his fingerprint all over the place, but I can not
guarantee that there are issues with everything he touched.

If everything that had a vriemer edit on it was damaged, it would be
very easy to clear it all out, but I don't see that in the areas that
I've looked at. Obviously some of the edits were suspect, which is
what triggered the block on his user profile, but there never was a
consensus to remove all edits by that user.

Perhaps what you are seeing in your area is different from what I have observed.
