I hope they are acting fast, I had 5 new mapsme users in the past 24 hours
and have seen a significant increase in new mappers in the past few weeks
(but didn't have the time to look at them yet). These are only the first
time mappers, not recurring ones (for which I do not get noticed).

Another common error is placing features like hotels in the middle of the
road, e.g.

Between 2 buildings:

A tourist attraction with only a russian name and not further description
what it is:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4247530407

(tourism=attraction, being more an attribute than an actual feature, should
likely be completely excluded from the maps.me presets)

Unconventional orthography in the names ("vaticansweethome casa vacanze"
and "chiara pujia", no protocoll in the website tag):

A jeweller's in the middle of the road (actually from internet research
this is not a jeweller's, it's a place where you can sell gold):
The name is one of a business (typically, mappers don't add stuff like
"limited" in the name tag, should go into operator IMHO).

These are just the past 24 hours, and only the first time edits...

Cheers,
Martin
