[OSM-talk] Deleted Place names in the Philippines

Hi,

Maybe there could be an option added to JOSM to allow editing history to be saved, instead of just deleting it when uploading is finished, that would have saved my bacon.
    
    Also, the potlatch undelete would only work if you knew what needed fixing. If a vandle was to just jump all over the map deleting random objects, where would you start, when fixing the damage. It's not such a small world after all :-)

    Maybe if the database also logged the ip address of the uploader (waits for the uproar from the privacy people to subside), then all the edits could be found merely by searching the database using ip address and time frame.



Cheers, Ian
