Hi
Some one from China has made some meaningless & erroneous edit in

For completeness, that was

Unfortunately your comments there weren't really actionable - they don't
explain what the contributor was doing wrong, and what they need to do
better next time.
but there's one in New Orleans which someone with local knowledge
needs to look at.

Is there someone here who can repost to Talk-US?
You can, if you subscribe to the list. :)
On side note: Do users of editors like mapswithme receive changeset
comments?
It depends. Many users of MAPS.ME just think it is "an app with some
maps in it" and have no idea what OSM is. This has been raised with the
MAPS.ME developers a number of times (see
https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues ). If they've signed up with a
throw-away email address (or generally "don't read email"), they won't
see it.
Separately to this, a lot of people are spending a lot of time trying to
communicate with MAPS.ME users - and in some cases succeeding (though
the response rate seems lower to me than with other mappers). If
communication fails then drop a mail to d...@osmfoundation.org so that
we can apply a 0-hour block on the account - force them to read a
message before continuing mapping (but not actually stopping them from
mapping - they can edit again as soon as they've read the message).
This is useful when people have e.g. used a throw-away email account to
sign up to an online service. However, it's important to have explained
mapping problems in changeset discussion first, since we'll inevitably
refer back to previous discussions for a particular mapper such as
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=5167736 here.
