[Talk-ca] Bodies of seawater in Canada - area definitions

[Iain Ingram]

Changeset: 112750638 is clearly marked as a Facebook mapper fixing relations on the bow river.

I am not saying I have issues with relations. My comment is around why are some fixing relations with no issues and my question was should someone like yourself reach out to 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.
