ael,

"but your habit of not commenting on most of your changesets did 
contribute to people's suspicion. I really would urge you to make some 
sort of comment, even if brief, and maybe repetitive where you are doing 
similar things."

Yes, this was part of my confusion. I saw at least three accounts with 
apparently similar behaviour: very active mappers, lots of changesets, 
but virtually no changeset comments. It appeared to be related, or maybe 
even three accounts of the same user...

Of course, this was all only circumstantial evidence, but I have also 
advised Dyserth to add changeset comments to make review and recognition 
of legit edits at least a bit more easy.

Marco
