Hi all, I had the same problem with reverting some of liam123's edits as Peter described. Although the reversion looked ok, the upload in Potlatch went ok, when viewed the data had not changed. The liam123 edits that didn't seem to respond to Potlatch reverts were major changes in the positioning of ways. Simpler reverts of changes in tag (eg landuse: leisure changed back to the correct 'industrial') seemed to work ok however. In the end a complete JOSM delete and re-draw of ways in my home town of Brentwood was required.
I'm new here, but if there is anyway that a blanket revert for all edits by a malicious user can be implemented it would get my support. I spent ages yesterday getting rid of all signs of a new mythical underground railway running throughout Essex from Upminster to Billericay, Brentwood and beyond. Edits like this are easy to spot, it's harder to detect the many spurious non-existent pubs or amenties that this tiresome person has dotted all over the map. Such a waste of time when there is so much else to do.
