Hi Ervin,

Unfortunately, you did not really fix her edits. What you should have done
instead of doing a wholesale removal of the name=* and landuse=* tags is to
check what are the existing tags that were overwritten by the user.

For example, you "fixed" way 360903949 by removing the name=* and landuse=*
tags. But what you should have done instead is to check the history and
restored the old name=Vicmar Plaza tag.

I am afraid that we will also need to clean-up *your* edits as well.
