I've looked up the edits under the History tab, for that particular 
section of the map. I didn't know how to filter in only my own edits 
(but I just figured that one out now), but it was still good enough to 
jog my memory of what I've been adding to that particular section in the 
last few weeks.

And the buildings weren't added in the wrong part of the planet - I 
might have done a lot of mapping lately, but not that much mapping !! 
:-) I also know the area as I live locally, so I would have noticed if I 
was in a totally different place on the planet. On top of that, I was 
using my own GPS traces and photographs - at least those would have kept 
me on the straight and narrow :-). It's just that I've added a lot of 
buildings in those neighbourhoods recently - so I could have been wrong 
about what I've done already and what I haven't.
