Ian,<br><br>There were a number of replies to this since you posted. Here is the thread<br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-January/thread.html#22071" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-January/thread.html#22071
</a><br><br>If the volume of deletion is great then for sure the simplest way to recover<br>is going to be to delete the remaining data for the relevant bbox and reload<br>it all from last week's planet or your own OSM file. Bear in mind though
<br>that doing that will remove a) all the history data for objects and b) (if<br>you use planet) the details of the original contributors.<br></blockquote><div><br>a) and b) aren't true if you keep the OSM IDs intact though... just load the area into JOSM then convince it to upload the data by making it think it's changed -- to do this add then remove a dummy tag as Martijn said. The API will then resurrect the objects, with the edit history (including the deletion) as JOSM uploads them.
