Hello everybody, I think at least 95% of the 2400 nodes that were moved from the island of Montreal on 7 July as a result of the problem changeset # 1765828 ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/1765828 ) have been reverted back to their original position thanks to the manual labour of many users (if you check the history of the region; you'll see that they have been working since day before yesterday until yesterday morning) Acutally, I'm surprised that there wasn't much information on the wiki to help us do this revert process automatically. Thanks Nicolas, you suggested that Perl script and, after a modification to line 61 of Revert.pm (it should read my $transaction = 0), I got it to work yesterday afternoon. I made those bot edits under the username "brssrd144_bot".
Daniel, Jean-Sébastien, thanks for your help and concerns. The map should be back to normal and Nicolas' script suggestion did the trick so there's no urgent need for writing a new one. However, I'm sure this could happen anywhere in the rest of the world, so we should probably share our experiences or maybe create a more user-friendly script and then update/create a wiki page on "reverting changesets", etc. Also, is it possible for some of you to have a quick look over the Montreal region to verify that there are no more misplaced nodes and that the corrections made are adequate? Thanks, George B.
