Hi,
I had a chat with WernerP. He is an established editor. He will sign up to the
mailing list.
It appears he was based in Ireland, but might not be anymore. He was looking
for less-mapped areas.

Subject: [OSM-talk-ie] Changesets by WernerP

Today I noticed a user uploading a number of changesets to my "watched area".
On first
glance they appear to be adding lots of new features like buildings etc, but on
deeper
inspection they are doing some very strange things in each of the changeset,
which I don't
agree with.
1) In changeset 46517951 the user has removed tags from a way making up a
townland
relation, only to create a totally new way for a stream. (
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
#map=19/54.35902/-7.63934[1] ) as the boundary is the actual stream I can't
understand
why the user has made this change.
2) In changeset 46520040 the user has decided that source=Bing is wrong and
changes it
to source=bing for a random number of objects. Since JOSM automatically adds
this tag
when bing imagery is used, why has the user decided to change this for this
relatively
small number of objects around Enniskillen. Surely if this is a problem, it
needs to be
discussed on the mailing list in advance of such a changeset!
3) In changeset 46523754 the user has decided to create new ways for rivers and
streams
and to name them after the boundary they make up. ie

Having both PM'ed the user and added changeset comments which have went
unanswered, I emailed the data working group to place a temporary block on the
account.
I notice there are other changesets throughout Ireland, so would other
contributors in
those areas please check the changesets.
