<div>Thanks all for the feedback you have provided on the tags
for the shrimp pond dikes. I hope to be able to implement
many of these changes soon, but I have not been successful in
using the JOSM Reverter plugin. The OSM Wiki states:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"After installing the plugin and restarting JOSM, you
should find a new menu item History -> Revert changeset."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have updated to the latest JOSM version (version 5608)
and downloaded the plugin and restarted JOSM multiple times,
but no History menu item appears. Subsequent attempts to
download the reverter plugin yield a message that all plugins
are up to date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm out of ideas on how to proceed. Does anybody have any
advice?</div>
</div>

Try renaming your .josm application folder folder to force JOSM
building a new one.<br>
If you need renaming that folder back to use JOSM, you may try doing
as I did: call the Reverter to load the erased data in an empty
layer, save that data in a .osm file, rename your folder back and
load the .osm file in your usual config to continue.<br>
I have erased that file I was offering you and I can't predict the
effect of my telling it to ignore the conflicts before saving. I
suppose the conflicts raise again when trying to update OSM (cancel
the update and open Windows>Conflict).<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

<div>In the past couple of years I have spent several tens
of hours digitizing the shrimp pond dikes in San Blas
Municipio, Nayarit, Mexico. They are a significant
feature on the local landscape and of importance because
of the degradation they are causing in the mangrove
forest ecosystems in which they are located.</div>

Beside vandalism, the world (at large), is full of people
telling what not to do instead of what to do, which is
obviously shorter. On the British borderline (ways), you can
read the note "admin_level shouldn't be 4". He dared not zap
them, fortunately.<br>

<div>2) Is there a way to roll back these changes (with
modifications you may suggest to the tagging scheme) so
that I don't lose all of the work I have invested? If
so, could you point me to some resources that will teach
me how this can be accomplished?</div>

As I have only reverted additions before and not deletions, I
gave it a try.<br>
No panic, those JOSM guys tell you they're reverting the set
but I knew they're only downloading the data in preparation
for the real update (and if you tell them things like that
what to do is not obvious or that they are frightening, they
reply that all user interface "bugs" are closed with a
WONTFIX).<br>
Well, it lasted almost 5 min, but I've seen your data
(impressive to lose that, and indecent to zap !!!).<br>
There are conflicts (differences between the locally recovered
and present OSM data for which you must decide which is right)
and there is quite a number of ways drawn going off the map
limit, possibly a consequence of node deletion.<br>
Well, just in case you will not use JOSM but you can use a
.osm file, I saved that 1MB file and I can send it to you.
Because I love shrimps too ;-)<br>
