[Talk-us] Huffmeister Road near Cypress, TX

2012-06-14 Thread Shawn K. Quinn
Anyone know why a huge chunk of Huffmeister Road near Cypress, Texas
(US) is now missing? I have had no luck looking through the past
changesets to see what happened and neither has anyone on IRC when I've
asked.

  Using Potlatch 1's undelete function I found the IDs of the
  Huffmeister Road you mentioned:
 
 
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/15457600 and
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/89356566 (for example)

 Is this undelete still present in Potlatch 2?


Nope.



  From the history for this ways
  (http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=15457600
  and http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=89356566) I don't see an
  obvious reason for the delete, so I recommend that you send a message
  to the mappers that deleted the road and ask them why they did it.

 Messages are in progress now.


Excellent!



  If you're in the area, feel free to fix it yourself if you know the
  road is there.

 I would if I had more confidence in what I was doing. I may still try,
 but I'm going to see what the response is from both of the mappers that
 did the deletes.

 I'm still getting the hang of this. This is much more interesting than
 Wikipedia, but at the same time, much harder to figure out.


Welcome to OSM. Glad you're sticking to it. We know editing is rather
tricky (it's tough to begin with and our tools aren't the easiest to grasp
for beginners), but I'm sure you'll get lots of help if you ask for it.
Since you mentioned you were on IRC (and I remember seeing your question --
I didn't have time to answer right then), I suggest hanging out there and
asking questions as they come up. There's almost always someone there who
can help. Except for the one time when you asked before. :)

Actually there wasn't even that level of approval. The current license 
change never went to a vote (all the votes people will cite are to move 
forward with the process of planning for a possible license change).
