Why do my coastline edits show up like this?

I've corrected the coastline from aerial imagery and although the breakwaters show correctly the land hasn't moved even though I altered the coastline tag.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi Norfolkadam, There a good possible explanation at the following address https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/102/i-have-made-edits-but-they-dont-show-up-on-the-map Ps your tagged the breakwater as breakwater is not the tag reinforced slopes more appropriate ? Greetz Hendrik

PPss it looks good from here !

Ah excelent, thanks for the response, I'm so used to everything taking a few minutes to show on Mapnik I had a bit of a heart attack and thought I'd mis-tagged it or needed to import something to alter the coastline.

I appreciate the speedy response and I'll take another look at the breakwaters.

Thanks!
