At first glance it really looks as if the user did nothing more than random deletions across the country. I wonder why it hasn't been noticed before. Then again, many of the objects he deleted are ones he had created himself - perhaps he did that with the good intention the clean up after having been told that copying from Google is not allowed. Perhaps your stuff was accidentally deleted with his own? > I sent him a message about it, and he hasn't responded. This is pretty > frustrating. What can I do about this? We can easily undelete things, however we'd have to make sure we identify the right changesets to undo, else we might re-create things copied from Google! It appears to me that simply undeleting all objects deleted in your list of changesets would have this undesirable effect. Also there's a slight danger of bringing stuff back that was deleted 2 months ago and someone else has meanwhile drawn the missing bit again, which would lead to duplicates.
