thanks,
mike

There is a logic error here. How does removing duplicates remove an
entire city of streets?
Mike has reimported the streets overnight, using the original data, and
they are slowly being rendered.

The most polite thing that I think may have happened is for two
duplicate node removers to have decided to attack the area at once. 
The result was devastation of the map in that area.

I don't like 'duplicate node removing' scripts or bots. Duplicate nodes
may well have a function, or may not be duplicate at all.

do you want me to continue?

It is probably possible to revert the changeset. I think most of the data
can easily be restored. However, you would loose ~ 40 edits of existing
streetsbut it's maybe the smaller problem.

[OSM-talk] Edit war, Mitrovica

2011-04-09 Thread Elizabeth Dodd

Mitrovica is in Kosovo.
Kosovo and Serbia do not agree on Kosovo's independence.

A particular mapper has deleted the city of Mitrovica from OSM (most
edit wars change the names). It is alleged [#flossk] that this is the
second time. 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.876398563385lon=20.8690881729126zoom=14

I am neither Serb nor Kosovar.
Name changing is understandable, but deliberately removing streets etc
is vandalism.

I am asking openly for the mapper to revert the edit right now, but I
have already notified a member of the data working group because I
believe this to be a serious transgression.

This is true, because of our political issue with Kosovo and Serbia
they keep attacking us also on OpenStreetMap by removing whole cities
or small parts which we find out later.
