The indirect question is: How can I find out who did this and maybe ask the person to fix it? The history is of no help (Reinheitsgebot/Widar).
Did you look at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Reinheitsgebot ?
Yes, that's what I did first, but the page just says that the bot makes mass edits on behalf of other (unknown) users. But you are right that one should probably still ask the bot author first:
Magnus, do you know on which basis these edits were made and how the errors could have sneaked in? Do you have any idea of the scale of the problem? (So far I have no idea: maybe I was just very (un)lucky to find several such cases in a row, or maybe the problem affects a relevant portion of the >80,000 orphaned items in the UK ...).
