Re the deleted mosque - there was an accidental node drag adjacent to it. Fixed in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/42544694 and the next changeset. I’ve not mentioned it to the mapper; manoharuss is already in conversation and they’re only 9 edits in.

Thank you for reverting bad changesets and correcting inconsistent data! The bigger OSM grows, the more we need to protect the existing data from corruption.
