Some extra definition would certainly help here (including perhaps some 
examples) as otherwise translators into other languages are going to 
struggle to understand what was meant.

Agreed.

In a different context with a DWG hat on, suggesting that people are 
overly critical of new mappers (in ways that might be considered "edit 
shaming") and that such criticism isn't fair is something that I do 
quite a bit of.  The DWG sees lots of reports of "vandalism", but 
usually it's just poor editing by inexperienced and/or overenthusiastic 
mappers.
