Wait, someone did what? Exploring Reverted Map Edits in OSM

Hi Carlo, yes, thanks.

Wait, someone did what? Exploring Reverted Map Edits in OSM

Thank you for your comment, VictorIE.

According to your mapping profile, you are a very active contributor with almost 2.4 million edits and over 110,000 changesets created.

Even if you have never used a “real” revert tool, you can still revert edits using the iD editor. The situation you mentioned is just such an example. Because I don’t think it has been mentioned directly here: For me, a revert is not fundamentally a bad thing. In certain situations it might be unavoidable?

@SomeoneElse You’re welcome! And thanks for your example. IMHO my current pipeline does not properly count the change in this case, so I have to adjust this.

Took some time, but HDYC does now contain some links to see your reverted map entities.

@TheSwavu: Yes, normally and so far only entities which “have their state returned to their former state” are counted as reverted.

@Xvtn: Yes, check your HDYC page and the link behind your “Reverted changes” amount.

@terminal_burgundy: Your can now find your “Performed Rollbacks” here: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/hdyc-performed-rollbacks?uid=10892181

@MrMoehritz: So far my implemented pipeline counts almost 2.1 million reverted changesets. But I guess a few or more special cases are not yet included.

Hi Naveen, maybe you already know: Collaborative tool for welcoming new mappers

All the best, Pascal

Der Weg zur SotM 2018

Oha, “xxxxxx-xxxx-Tool” … “xxxxxx-xxxx-Auskunft” ;) Aber sehr interessant zu lesen, dass du eine Art “Korrelation” zwischen der “Mappertätigkeit” in OSM und “tendenziell überzeugenderen Formulierungen in der Scholarbewerbung” festgestellt hast. Hoffentlich war nicht eher die Sprachbarriere dran schuld … :-/

Updates to Meet Your Mappers

Not sure if it’s already has been mentioned: “Overview of OpenStreetMap Contributors aka Who’s around me?” should also display contributors in your area + a raw indicator of mapping activity (amount of changesets). For more information see

Pokemon Go trash

@All There are many changesets of forever2darkness, which should be corrected. See http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=5201761

OpenStreetMap Community Statistics Revisited

Because it’s not mentioned in the text above and could be interesting: “Distribution of (active) @openstreetmap contributors. (Date: Nov. 19th, 2016)”. Overall and past 12 months. Furthermore, I also wrote a blog post “A comparative study between different OpenStreetMap contributor groups - Outline 2016”.

How large are our national contributor communities and how are they developing?

For the sake of completeness, open access publication: “Analyzing the Contributor Activity of a Volunteered Geographic Information Project - The Case of OpenStreetMap” http://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/1/2/146/htm

the results of our study: “Assessing the Effect of Data Imports on the Completeness of OpenStreetMap – A United States Case Study” (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tgis.12037/abstract)

and a presentation by Dennis: “How Beneficial are Data Imports to OpenStreetMap? – A United States Case Study” (http://de.slideshare.net/denniszielstra/how-beneficial-are)

The Missing Mappers Problem?

right, you’ll find some similar results here: “Recent Developments and Future Trends in Volunteered Geographic Information Research: The Case of OpenStreetMap” (Open Access) [1] Page 88 Figure 3 [2].
