<p>Hi Andy,</p>
<p>He has responded to the changeset comment. I responded again with a suggestion for him to join this mailing list... It is obviously a case of a mistake rather than malicious intent, but the changeset I originally flagged up has obliterated an entire village from the map, along with many miles of coastal features, so he is going to need help to sort this out.</p>

<p>I'm afraid I am not able to do this revert myself - I can undo an individual change using Potlatch1 but I don't use JOSM and wouldn't know where to start.</p>
<p>Colin</p>

<br /> I'd suggest that a friendly "hello and welcome and by the way something seems to have gone a bit wrong" message would be more helpful at this time - it's technically much easier to sort out the data than it is to get a keen mapper back who was scared off because they don't understand what they've done wrong. Currently I can see only 2 comments in changeset discussions (saying essentially "you broke stuff and I fixed it"; not offering to help).<br /><br /> Obviously any help and assistance would be better coming from someone in the local area; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=9&lat=51.19266&lon=1.54631&layers=B00">http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=9&lat=51.19266&lon=1.54631&layers=B00</a> may be useful here to try and get someone local involved.<br /><br /> Cheers,<br /><br /> Andy (SomeoneElse)<br /><br /><br /><!-- html ignored --><br />
