you = you .  And I would strongly disagree that access to information
in a mess - it is sometimes slow and sometimes un-reliable, but we're
not Google - we dont have a million servers - we have 5 - and most of
them aren't even servers, see:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Feeds

The information on this page shouldnt be on a page called Feeds - but
its a wiki...

Have you asked anyone about this?  Filed a bug report?  Have you tried
to sign up several times, or are the sign up messages being sent to
you witnout you asking.

Have you made one yet?  It would be fantastic to have a unified login
for the site and the wiki, but the code won't magic itself.

Do you think this is because of a bug, or because someone is changing
your updloads.  You can get histories from the API like:

GET segment/22/history

which might help you figure out what's going on.

By the site, do you mean wiki?
