On the website, find the page that lists your edits, then click on the changeset where you added the features. The page for the changeset will list nodes, ways, and relations that were modified by that changeset. I assume the features you are interested in were ways, so look at the list of ways and click on one. (If it's since been deleted, it will only have an id# and version; if you created it, it will say version 1.) The page for that way will say it's been deleted, and list the user and changeset which deleted it. If you want to see the tags it once had, click the history link for the way. > 2) How can I retrieve these data which I need for purposes of my own, even if it is determined that they are not appropriate for OSM? Potlatch 1 has an undelete feature you may find useful, though I don't know if it still works. That's probably the only easy way to recover the geometry of your features.
