With this edit: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/121562483#map=17/46.25232/6.93687 , thousands of addresses have been duplicated over existing well tagged buildings and entrances. I have commented the edit but what would be the correct thing to do should the author not revert this edit?
I am also concerned that the same person might do similar things in other areas.
They have done similar undiscussed address imports before in at least Martigny (https://www.osm.org/changeset/114924741). This also had many similar issues that were fixed only when pointed out to them, but I occasionally still spot others. I had asked them to announce future imports on the mailing list, so I think a revert is fine.
Best, Eginhard

This would seem to be a clear case for a revert, I'll do it (likely this evening) if nobody else volunteers.
Besides the specific issues with this import, as has been pointed out before, the GWR is a very useful resource but needs to be used with care and awareness that the data quality varies a lot.

Thanks, Simon. I reverted it.
I just hope this user won't simply continue to do this kind of thing.

He/she was zero-hour-blocked [1] a while ago because of some issues with post-office edits (see thread here [2]), no? Maybe a discussion *with* this user is necessary, to avoid further issues and unnecessary work from the community.
