Oh, well then that might change my opinion. I will try to find a better source when I have some time. I find it stage that the osm letter didn't mention exactly what happened.
That is what I thought, but you replied saying that he made other edits ... What happened? Did he just change the title (not so bad) or did he do something worse?
What do you mean? It's quite clear what happened. Someone logged into OSM, they edited the "place node" for New York and changed the name.
