There was a similar case to this on the Help Centre recently: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/5839/map-changes-for-personal-use-is-this-right
I suggest we need to make it more obvious to first-time users that when they edit the map they are editing the "real" map that everybody sees, not their own local, private copy of it. Any thoughts on how we could achieve that? Maybe a splash screen on Potlatch when it detects a user starting it who has no edits? Or is this already done (I can't remember to be honest). -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Another-heads-up-new-mapper-appears-to-be-deleting-stuff-in-Ashbourne-tp6529059p6529348.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
