Revert is done, see changeset #10184494: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/10184494
For the two nodes that someone edited I went ahead and made them areas from Bing and added website and other detail I could glean. Golf Geek, if you'd like help I'd be happy to split your original file into state-sized chunks. I'll volunteer to merge all of Virginia's golf courses. Also, I'd be interested to know your method for reducing the ~6000 nodes to ~4000 (i.e. perhaps provide the script you used). -Josh On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 2:45 PM, Josh Doe <[email protected]> wrote: > I just pulled in the changeset, and only three nodes have been changed: > Name corrected: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1556624529/history > > Position moved: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1556638779/history > > And deleted: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1556629698/history > > I'd suggest this be reverted tonight, keeping the two corrected nodes. > Also, when we re-import this (more slowly), I don't think we need any > of the gnis tags except for the ID, which should probably use > gnis:feature_id. > > If I get a chance and no objections, I'll revert this tonight (~8 > hours from now). > -Josh > > On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Josh Doe <[email protected]> wrote: >> I've noticed in my area golf course nodes added that already exist: >> http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1556625188 >> http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1556629688 >> and others >> >> I support reverting this changeset ASAP. >> >> Golf Geek, >> Let's instead take the work you've done and split it up into state >> sized chunks (e.g. via Osmosis).
