 Nope, that doesn't really help. Anthony posted a message out of the 
 blue with a before and after picture and later stated that "The board 
 voted to delete my contributions, and this is the before and after."
 Later someone (who is AFAIK not a member of the OSM board) called him a 
 troll and accused him of copying data from Google.

 But what really happened or what the real cause for this is is not made 
 clear.

 So, his edits were deleted by the OSM board? Why?
 And if not only his edits were deleted, but all nodes and ways he 
 touched were deleted, why? Why not his edits reverted to the previous 
 state?
