[Talk-GB] help with reverting changeset (all cycleways in a particular area deleted)

[Jon Pennycook]

Morning.

I think those are two different people - Nathan_A_RF now tends to
specialise in edits around Southampton (I think they used some
controversial sources for a wider area until last Autumn, according to
their Block page), and AR_Mapper specialises in Bracknell and New York.

But I have noticed that a small number of people on OSM don't seem to like
cycle infra (or maybe they don't understand it).
