[talk-au] Vandalism in Sydney OSM data ?

[Paul Norman]

Yes, I had to revert a second changeset to get it  working. It'd be useful
if a local could double-check the area.

 

OWL is a useful site for this kind of thing, you can use it's beta at
http://owl.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-33.8761/151.2131 by clicking
on the history tab.

And it looks like you beat me to it :-)

I've done a little more investigation, turns out potlatch 1 still exists and
can still show deleted ways.

He certainly did delete the Eastern Distributor at least according to the
inspector, the changeset was 18208802 (description: wrong links).

 

Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding, i'm more interesting in figuring
out how to restore the missing data at the moment,

He had imported some grid squares into OSM, as well as some earlier stuff
that I reverted. That particular changeset and the revert aren't related to
the missing stuff.

 

I'm inviting him to come to the lists to discuss their edits.

That is so frustrating, i spent a bit of time a few months back smoothing
out a lot of the issues there, making curves a sensible radius, etc.

Like you, i'm not sure how to go about reverting.  

 

I did notice user nadeem41 has made a mess of the cross city tunnel as well,
i'm wondering if it's related. If anyone can tell me what he means by the
comment in changeset 18489150:  "city divided into equal area grid for data
updation. cleaning project"
