these changesets.<br><br>I've done this before, and could volunteer to do it, if needed. I would need a list of changesets to revert.

Dear Jean-Guilhem,<br>(Nicolas, Mikel, Robert, Kate: if you have tips on undeleting in<br>general / in the Haiti context pls do share them.)<br><br>Excuse me for answering only in English but I it seems that you<br>understand English well (and hope that Google Translate does a decent<br>enough job for those who don't). I'll try to use my (crappy) French<br>when I have better time...<br><br>Thanks for bringing this to the attention of others (as well as making<br>note on the tertiary issue, which I'll comment separately).<br><br>I don't know this new user who has done the deletions but I will ask<br>at our next mapping "party" (or perhaps rather an "OSM meetup") at the<br><span><span>Grass Roots United resource center (<a target="_blank" href="http://j.mp/osm-gru">http://j.mp/osm-gru</a>) next</span></span><br>(upcoming) Friday afternoon (5/27).<br>... As a sidenote, if you are (or anyone else who is) in Haiti: From<br>now on we'll have weekly OSM meetups
/ mapping
parties (?) at the GRU<br>resource center starting at noon that are (obviously) open to anyone<br>and everyone interested in OSM/mapping Haiti. (I'll make a separate<br>announcement with the approriate subject).<br><br>I'm copying this note to a few people who are / have been active here<br>and know more about fixing deletions that I do hoping that they could<br>perhaps share some knowledge about how to tackle the deletions.<br>Quite frankly, I'm a near newbie when it comes to undeleting /<br>reverting changes and I'd really want to get help on that so I don't<br>mess up more than I may already have in the undeletionings I've<br>done...<br><br>So:<br>* I'll ask if someone knows this new mapper<br><span><span>(<a target="_blank" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Josep3">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Josep3</a>) and can contact him via</span></span><br>other means<br>* If no one else fixes the deletions before we'll look at this at
out<br>meetup/mapping
party.<br>- Hopefully we'll get some more experienced help to the undeleting or<br>at least re-inforcement to how to do it.<br><br>Cheers,<br>-Jaakko<br><br><span><span><a target="_blank" href="http://osm.org/user/jaakkoh">http://osm.org/user/jaakkoh</a></span></span><br>-- <br><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:jaakko@opendevelopment.cc" target="_blank" href="mailto:jaakko@opendevelopment.cc">jaakko@opendevelopment.cc</a> * Twitter/Identi.ca: @jaakkoh * Skype:<br>jhelleranta * Voice/SMS: +509-37-26 91 54<br><br>2011/5/13 Jean-Guilhem Cailton <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:jgc@arkemie.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:jgc@arkemie.com">jgc@arkemie.com</a>>:<br>> (Version in English follows)<br>><br>> Bonjour,<br>><br>> Mercredi, j'avais remarqué que plusieurs rues du centre des Gonaïves<br>> étaient manquantes (ainsi que le noeud place=city), apparemment<br>> supprimées par le changeset [1] et quelques
