I did some edits on the way through in May, some of these have been left alone, but some have disappeared completely or been replaced by highway=road. Now that I'm back from holidays (and uploaded all my new traces) I've had a chance to have a closer look at Cobar, and done as much as I can to repair the damage. I probably checked the names of some of the streets back in May, but as I no longer have my audio recordings I can't be sure of this, so I've had to leave most of the streets unnamed. As one example, here is Louth Road: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/119756523 This is just a stub, this used to link on to the other roads. I've worked out what happened here - the one-way section of Louth Road splits into two at the Barrier Hwy, the stub was one of those branches, the other branch was deleted by cc_cleaner. As Cobar is about 8 hours drive (one way) from home, I won't be going there anytime soon to do further surveys.

I saw the same relationship with Firefishy (from South Africa) and went to bed puzzling about the coincidence. Firefishy was adding in a little data within minutes of cc-cleaner's massive deletes.

I would be surprised if the two accounts were related. cc_cleaner appears to be deleting objects created by ct-decliners. Other accounts are doing the same around the globe, but remap the tainted data from good sources like so. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/387772100/history ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I often watch OSM edits using http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LiveMapViewer and noticed the deletes of mostly DrLizAU's contributions. I suspected DrLizAU was removing her own contributions, but cannot back this up. I decided to get stuck in and remap what I could easily remotely remap.

To me it appears that the completely comment-less, stealthy, anonymous deletions are more likely to be official OSM work.
