Objective: Recently the data team came across malicious edits from few mappers in Singapore. We have reported them to DWG and are now going ahead and correcting those edits on OpenStreetMap. Since there over 500+ such edits, it was difficult for us to drop a changeset comment on each of the changesets, thus opening this ticket as a reference and for further conversations, suggestions and feedback related to this process.
Context: Below is the split of the incorrect edits found:
