Re: [Talk-GB] How to get a Relation History?

Does anyone know an alternative way of finding out who edited it before me? You can, if patient, step back through versions with: http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/86561/132 http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/86561/131 etc. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Steve_NI in September perhaps? Alternatively, I'll ask the question here in case the other user reads this list [cut] I am minded to believe that the sign I saw with 'Weardale Way' written on it was a mistake and it should have been a plain 'public footpath' sign, but I do not know how to check this. I wondered if whoever had completed the Weardale Way had another source of information about the route that we can use in OSM to check it. If we can confirm that the sign is incorrect, I will remove the extra spur path from the route. I'm not the user who recently finished off the Weardale Way (and I don't know whether that was done from survey) but surveying the Way has been one of my projects. The route between Frosterley and Wolsingham used to be a low level route running close to the railway (the way you've just walked), but was subsequently changed to a more interesting higher level route (the one that's part of the complete OSM relation). The signs you saw have almost certainly been superseded, but perhaps could be mapped as a separate Old Weardale Way or alternative route relation?

A change of route would be consistent with what I have seen on the ground - if I have followed the old route in places, it could account for why it is so badly signed! I think having a 'Weardale Way Alternate Route' relation is probably the best approach, otherwise you get a bit of a mess with all the little bits of route that do not appear to go anywhere. I will email the others who have contributed to the route to see what they know about the alternative bits.

You could try using the OSM History Browser to list the change sets and allow you to compare selected changes. http://osm.virtuelle-loipe.de/history/ I got this from the Route Relations 'h' link on the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Long_Distance_ Paths page. It will provide the relation number and take you straight there: http://osm.virtuelle-loipe.de/history/?type=relation http://osm.virtuelle-loipe.de/history/?type=relationref=86561 ref=86561 Steve ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
