Hi. Regardless of that trademark business, I've checked Simon's edits 
and they mostly consist of removing links to google maps, which contain 
empty "geocode" parameter and them (and many other redundant parameters 
that editors didn't bother to omit). Some of the edits are quite funny, 
for example, 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Way&diff=prev&oldid=861689 
(removed a link to display kml with google maps).

I cannot understand why links to google maps have become prohibited in 
our wiki, but there are probably one or two meaningful edits and lots of 
what can be called vandalism. For example, cleaning "Copyright Easter 
Eggs" pages from links to mentioned easter eggs.

So, I vote for 1) reverting all those edits; 2) explaining in detail 
what is prohibited (what words, which links etc.) and what is not; 3) 
editing wiki more thoroughly, so every edit could be understood.
