What should I do about this:

I'm inclined to leave it, since it won't affect routing and it's kind of funny.

Waze has (or recently had) a promotion featuring Exxon. How should we deal with these comments?

I don't think it was malicious. TOMYNATION left some UR's nearby, which is how I found it. His other edits were legit.

Welcome, new editors:
Here's a good place to start!

Your RR editor doesn't by chance have the word "limo" in their name, do they? It would be too funny if the same person is doing this all over creation.
Ha, nope. Rank 2, though, which is sad. Looks rather fetching in the Livemap, though: https://www.waze.com/livemap?lon=-83.18 ... 25&zoom=16

This is exactly what we're doing, actually. It's too much hard work to just delete it before we see the fruits of their labor.

19 tracks at its widest point. Too bad it's not even completely finished.

It looks like someone thought they got a raw deal somewhere :

I'm just not sure of the reference is to one of the car dealerships in the area, or the Filling Station located on the landmark.

Fortunately the South African Wiki has a reference to netiquette. Now it looks like we all need a paragraph to indicate that personal feelings should be left out of this too. Oh, and most important, we need people to actually read the Wiki pages too.
