[Talk-GB] Getting vandalism reverted without associating email address with location
Is there any mechanism for reporting and reverting vandalism that doesn't tend to associate the non-OSM internet identity of the reporter with their likely physical location. As far as possible I try to avoid my internet ID and my physical location being associated, but assume that the OSM ID is compromised in that respect. I don't even want to go into too much detail about the nature of the vandalism here. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

If you did want to give an example without making any specific reference, perhaps you could perform similar "vandalism" (in a different place with different names / other identifying info) using the dev API: http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/53.12037/-0.52980 Cheers, Andy ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

In this case, I don't think there is any issue that there was vandalism. If necessary, I'll do a piecemeal reconstruction of the bits that are blocking me, but that may prevent a proper reversion. I'll give you some more details off list. Please don't copy them back on list. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

However, the problem still remains of how to get it reverted, other than by piecemeal repair, whilst only using my OSM identity. You can revert it yourself, using the JOSM reverter plugin. If the objects haven't been edited since, then it should be easy to revert it completely. It gets trickier if there have been subsequent edits, so best to avoid trying piecemeal repairs. Or use the revert scripts.

I suspected something like that must exist, but I'd got to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vandalism, which led me to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GB_revert_request_log, which said I had to go to this mailing list. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

You can send a message to the OSM user "OSMF Data Working Group" which will then be acted upon by DWG.
