[OSM-talk] Place names deleted (Berlin & Gothenburg)

I just found out, that at least two place names have been removed from 
the OSM database:

On 31-Jan, someone deleted the node that marked Gothenburg.
On 05-Feb, someone removed the place and name tags from the node that 
used to mark Berlin.

Has anyone else noticed such data being removed lately? Is there 
something bad going on?

If the API would show who made those changes, we could ask the person...
