[OSM-talk] watching areas/places like wikipedia for changes

The drawback of the history tab is that it includes the 'big' edits 
which cover the area but didn't change anything directly in that area.  
I would prefer to be able to hide the big edits, and have them hidden by 
default.

Cheers, Chris
