Note that most incorrect edits spanning more than a few nodes need a speedy response because soon people start making edits on top of the unwanted changeset and reverting it becomes more difficult. Since I had the setup for this ready, I reverted the changeset 2168210 in my changeset http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2192016 but I had to make a couple of edits before uploading it: * xybot had helpfully made an edit on top of some of the nodes removing a spurious tag and causing conflicts. * I did not revert the creation of node 469327157 (a parking) which seems genuine. * Something really strange: node http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/270798013/history is edited two times inside the same changesets and revert.pl didn't deal correctly with this. > > Personally I think we need a huge effort to be ready for damaging > vandalism and much better tools to spot potential errors in a much > more sophisticated way. Agreed. Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
