Hi Richard. the bot owner has publically that he/she will never accept the CT, and I believe him/her. Reverting the work: If the bot work was done at (say) version 3, reverting the changeset of the bot would destroy versions 4,5 etc information, which I don't believe is acceptable or necessary since it affects such a wide proportion of australian OSM data. The two bots workwere done using the users normal contribing userids and therefore must be dealt with at the changeset level rather the userid level. I therefore believe that it is essential that DWG remove the bot/s soon (no one else can do it!!). However if anyone can instruct me how to programatically revert the bots work without losing subsequent edits, then I'll happily get started on it. Nick
