What are the plans to improve the user experience? Especially for fields where the input type is checked somehow.
Error messages a la "An error occurred while trying to perform save and because of this, your changes could not be completed." don't really help when I try to enter a URL to a property called "image". And clicking on details to find "Malformed input: http://foobar.org/image.png" is not better.

I'd take the bot. At least in the history of the article it is recorded that it was tried to enter 123.45 for a population, and we can later figure out what was happening.
Why not wait and see if this is really a problem? I wonder how many such mistakes will ever be entered, besides "jokes" and vandalism. And the latter is easier to catch if we don't require the pranksters to use data that sounds correct. Do we have any indication that contributors are being supported by a system that doesn't let them enter negative numbers for populations?
We will start with no constraints. I will not have the team spent time on this without us even knowing how much of an issue it is going to be and what kinds of constraints we need in the software if any.
