WARNING: CHECK YOUR BOUNDARIES!

Longbow4u has been causing other problems with these edits as well. In Kent the boundaries of Ashford and Shepway districts have been emptied of ways. The addition of wikipedia links is continuing apace, sometimes in English, sometimes in German.

This changeset seems particularly problematic:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/13577241

I have sent him/her a message requesting them to repair the damage to these boundary relations and have suggested rolling back that whole changeset might be a good place to start.

Seeing these edits:

to add a tags such as "wikipedia = de:Portsmouth"

One can't help but wonder what the point of such tags are (an indeed website), 
as any intelligent web search based on the name of the object (and +wikipedia) 
and maybe UK or the county will usually takes to one the web site (or 
wikipedia) of that item and probably in the right language too...

(even if I often tag POIs with websites myself...)

This sort of automatic search linking would be much web 2.0, than the pile of 
URL related values in the DB.
