His action was most likely triggered by this discussion:
[Talk-us] An actual mini roundabout!

As this regarded a small number of places all over the US, and in most
cases the corrections were straightforward from looking at the Bing photos,
I think there was nothing wrong in doing this type of checkup all over the
place. I looked up a couple and it was clearly the wrong usage of the
mini-roundabout tag.

Ask the user who did it.
I agree, names can only be decided locally.
I have added in many cases new roundabouts from satellite photos, but
normally not been able to assign names to them, because that can only be
done locally

I am thankful to the user in question who seems to have done a systematic
work on the many false mini-roundabouts all over the globe
