This user just made many tag editions, describing such tags as , , , and so on.

Does that really make sense?

Do we want wiki documented tags for every dictionary words?

There's quite a bit of plagiarism in those wiki inserts; I rejected a few of those edits myself on the basis of plagiarism.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. In the future, please bring it to our attention with a flag on the user's post if you see a user is plagiarizing content from other sites. Choose flag reason 'other', and explain that the user is plagiarizing content.

I also saw a lot of non specific edits, like the addition of a link to developer.nokia.com to some nokia related tags – dystroy Aug 23 '12 at 11:43
I was rejecting a few too; any way we can clean up the mess. – Martijn Pieters Aug 23 '12 at 12:35

This user is still overloading the edit review system with editions directly copied from wikipedia (the last I saw is "aliasing", which wasn't even correct for to the usage of this tag in SO). Can something be done ? – dystroy Aug 23 '12 at 19:38
