Not all 200 changesets are in Baltimore.  He's done the same thing in 
Charlotte, NC.  He's deleted interchanges (sometimes making them at-grade), 
completely deleted the northern segments of I-485, and other damaging stuff.

All his changesets need to be reverted ASAP!!

Subject: [Talk-us] User HomocideBaltimore adding fake / fictional / old data    
all over Baltimore

This is very strange! The user HomicideBaltimore has been mapping all kinds of 
buildings around Baltimore that don't exist. They're old public housing 
projects or rowhomes that were razed, but seem to have been used on the set of 
the NBC show Homicide, Life on the Streets, shot in Baltimore.
What should I do?
This user is introducing all kinds of invalid data, and fair thoroughly mapped 
stuff too. All in iD, which is odd. The current Bing imagery shows none of 
this. I am shocked that someone would spend this much time on such a thing.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3726365602 - Police station in the show, not 
a real police station.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/33940333 this block was razed years ago, 
and has been replaced by a new building.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/33889607 This area has been cleared and 
replaced by some new buildings.

There are nearly 200 changsets around Baltimore like this! I have spent 
considerable time mapping in this area, adding the brownfields and such. Not to 
mention the Baltimore Import, much of which is being trashed by this user.
What can be done? I commented on one changeset, but I don't have any experience 
reverting things.
