with the revert plugin in JOSM), or first contact the other mapper to<br>
inform him/her about the problem. Informing the user is preferred as<br>
this give you insight in the reasoning about the mapping or might<br>
teach the other mapper about his/her mistakes.<br>
<br>
The immediate revert might be needed for larger changes and when you<br>
are sure that the mapping is wrong. If there are smaller problems, it<br>
might be more interesting to allow the other mapper to correct the<br>
mistakes. A revert becomes harder when other people start editing in<br>
that area as well.<br>
<br>
In some cases, you will not get an answer after a few days, you can<br>
still do a revert, or just update the data (which might be easier and<br>
faster than a revert).<br>
<br>
The preferred way to discuss a problem is via changeset comments. The<br>
Data Working Group always asks to do this, in case it turns into an<br>
edit war, they have something to follow.<br>
<br>
I do not always follow this rule of communication, especially when the<br>
same user keeps on making the same mistake or has not made an edit in<br>
a long time<br>
<br>
OSM is a community project, so communication is important.<br>
