See changeset where editing only in bottom left corner and upper right corner http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20447101
The bbox of the changeset above is not very instructive of the zone covered by this edit. I updated one way in Mali. Then forgot to save before I moved to Bolivia for other editing again in a small area. For example, if I look at contributor statistics for Bolivia with Pascal Neis new Contributor statistics by a specific comment, I see a small box for Bolivia, and a large box covering two continents, simply due to this single changeset. http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=hotosm-bolivia Such large bbox create problems when we want to analyse Contributor activities in one area extracting Changesets for a particular bbox. It is also difficult to assure follow-up of activities in a local zone you take care of. To correct this problem, could the OSM API that take care to upload data to the OSM database analyze such Changesets that cover a large zone, in particular more then one continent, and split them if necessary in more then one changeset?
