edits that exactly copy other people's nodes.

Posted by z-dude on 22 September 2013 in English.

added a bunch of villages to Mali, then noticed that someone else does an edit which exactly copies a node, resulting in duplicate nodes.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2164174568 if you look at the area around this node, the 3 villages to the south and 2 villages to the north overlap my old village nodes.

is this some editor bug where software is deleting other people’s nodes, and rewriting those nodes with the exact same info? Is this a caused by an edit bot?
