Comment from will_p
I notice you are manually importing a large number of names from OS Streetview. I'm concerned you do not seem to be paying sufficient attention to what has already been mapped. In particular, there are many cases where you are adding place=farm tags when the farms have already been mapped as an area using landuse=farmyard. This causes duplicate names to appear. You should not be duplicating features in this way, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element. Here's an example in this changeset: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3693295857
Additionally, you are adding bridge names using the place=locality tag. Do you have any evidence that these are really locality names? If not, they are better added as a name to the bridge itself. Determining what is a locality name requires good local knowledge. Here's an example in this changeset of a bridge name added using place=locality, duplicating the name already added to the bridge itself: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3693295867
My comments above apply not just to this changeset, but also to many others you have uploaded over the last few months. Please keep in mind that OSM is a collaborative project. You should not be ignoring the existing data. Additionally, the aim is not to make a replica of OS mapping. Names on OS maps are not infrequently out of date (and even occasionally just wrong) so the decision to add them should really be based on local knowledge or ground survey.
Have you asked other mappers in the areas you are targeting whether this indiscriminate copying of OS names is actually wanted?

I am a significant mapper in the area and I'm very unhappy with the way this mapper behaves. I feel inclined to revert all these recent edits.

Comment from SomeoneElse
I can't claim to be familiar with this area, but after a survey of an area east of Goole last year, most of the OSSV-derived data added by a similar changeset where "wrong", where "wrong" was either duplicate, in the wrong place or unverifiable.
