I saw a recent edit by ZeLonewolf to the Elbow river. If that is one of the
edits you are referring to he was not doing that for Facebook. He is a
volunteer contributor that decided to undo the riverbank tag that has been
deprecated. It was announced but not as a mechanized edit but a manual one.
If a Facebook team is making bad edits I'm sure they will be happy to hear
from you. They have been pretty responsive when I've contacted them.

Best,
Clifford
