[OSM-talk] Undo request button for changesets

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
+1 for having a revert button only for your own (personal) changsets.
With no button requesting a change revert. .. just message that person, in a
friendly way.
Most of the time it's a newbie who is just learning. :-)

(If we had a "revert" button next to a changeset, and I agree with the
> cautious voices who said that this is quite unlikely to work once a few
> hours or days have passed, then I would probably enable that button only
> for the user who committed the original change, and anyone else who
> clicks the button would just send a message to that user saying "please
> revert your change".)

>From my experience, the user who did the upload. .. ie, if i uploaded
something that i realize that more nodes were added than needed.  Having an
easy way for me to fix that is helpful.
I found that once i notified users of what was done, they (themselves) would
probably appreciate the ability for them to revert their mistake (since now
becoming aware of it).   ie. in the case of copyright maps.

For example, im now fixing up some of the stuff i added for my sample area.
My changesets are in a logical order.  So i'd like the ability to be able to
'undo', something i did last week.
So if other edits where made ontop of some of the changes, a list can be
made available of those conflicts. But all the other stuff (breadcrumbs) can
be reverted.  (some of my polygons might have extra nodes, that i dont know
of yet)

Cheers,
Sam
