[Tagging] Dispute concerning shrimp pond dikes

[doug brown]

No, it doesn't work.  I had tried that idea earlier as the result of a discussion thread I had located via a google search.

Try pressing CRTL+Shift+T. Does that open the reverter dialog?

Thanks all for the feedback you have provided on the tags for the shrimp pond dikes.  I hope to be able to implement many of these changes soon, but I have not been successful in using the JOSM Reverter plugin.  The OSM Wiki states:

"After installing the plugin and restarting JOSM, you should find a new menu item History -> Revert changeset."
I have updated to the latest JOSM version (version 5608) and downloaded the plugin and restarted JOSM multiple times, but no History menu item appears.  Subsequent attempts to download the reverter plugin yield a message that all plugins are up to date.

I'm out of ideas on how to proceed.  Does anybody have any advice?

    As I have not received my copy of this,
      I resend. Sorry for possible duplicates.

        In the past couple of years I have spent several tens of
          hours digitizing the shrimp pond dikes in San Blas Municipio,
          Nayarit, Mexico.  They are a significant feature on the local
          landscape and of importance because of the degradation they
          are causing in the mangrove forest ecosystems in which they
          are located.
        

        
        I was much dismayed this past summer when all of these
          features were deleted from the OSM data base (changeset
          11807195), with the comment "Deleting vandalism, those are not
          roads".
      
    
    Beside vandalism, the world (at large), is full of people telling
    what not to do instead of what to do, which is obviously shorter. On
    the British borderline (ways), you can read the note "admin_level
    shouldn't be 4". He dared not zap them, fortunately.

    
      ...
        

        
        2) Is there a way to roll back these changes (with
          modifications you may suggest to the tagging scheme) so that I
          don't lose all of the work I have invested?  If so, could you
          point me to some resources that will teach me how this can be
          accomplished?

       You can do this yourself easily with JOSM
        (and its reverter plugin) when you know the changeset(s)
        number(s) (which seems to be your case). 
    
    As I have only reverted additions before and not deletions, I gave
    it a try.

    No panic, those JOSM guys tell you they're reverting the set but I
    knew they're only downloading the data in preparation for the real
    update (and if you tell them things like that what to do is not
    obvious or that  they are frightening, they reply that all user
    interface "bugs" are closed with a WONTFIX).

    Well, it lasted almost 5 min, but I've seen your data (impressive to
    lose that, and indecent to zap !!!).

    There are conflicts (differences between the locally recovered and
    present OSM data for which you must decide which is right) and there
    is quite a number of ways drawn going off the map limit, possibly a
    consequence of node deletion.

    Well, just in case you will not use JOSM but you can use a .osm
    file, I saved that 1MB file and I can send it to you.  Because I
    love shrimps too ;-)
