I've checked andrewpmk recent activities. Excepted the fact that he
creates 2 or 3 changesets per minute (means hundreds per day !), he
should be more cautious about what is deleted. I found one
amenity=school way containing a name and address. How can you decide
if "source=google" is related to the school area, the address or the
school name ? Is is a good reason to delete everything ? Did he try to
contact the person first ?
