These edits are not done without local knowledge. I have done surveys in the area many times and the village>hamlet changes are done using proper OpenStreetMap guidelines that record reality better than legal situations. There is no need to 'consult the local mapping community' as these changes are in line with OpenStreetMap tagging. Changing villages to hamlets is not a major change to the map, I am doing it manually, not over a large area, and only where I have enough information to prove it is in fact a place=hamlet.
Jabłoń can be changed back to a village, as I understand the place=town tag is less generalised, in the same way places the size of towns in other countries can have city status granted to them. It was only changed under the standard settlement hierarchy of "Hamlet- 0-100 residents, Village- 100-1,000 residents, and Town 1,000-100,000 residents.
