  What is your source for these changes, particularly the deletions? This changeset deletes several named streams that were accurate. They were imported from a dataset of the present day, but as natural streams, they likely existed long before any of the maps you’re consulting.

  You also added two streets citing a 1956 map but providing no evidence for a claimed start_date=1925. Is 1925 your general placeholder for a start date you don’t know? Instead of relying on magic numbers that can be confused with real dates, please set start_date=* to the date of your source, and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:start_date:edtf to a range that includes known upper and/or lower bounds.

  I’ll be going through some of your recent changes soon and attempting to find better sources for them, but if I’m unable to, I’m afraid I’ll have to revert your changes wholesale in favor of the better-sourced data that was there before.
