Checking edit history

0

How can I check the timeline of edits in a particular area? For example, I want to see the history of editing in X city or a selected polygon. Would be better if I can get access to the user list as well. TIA

I'm not sure about city/polygon specifically, but start here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quality_assurance#Monitoring_Tools

The history will give you changeset id's, then you can look up the author information of each changeset.

In JOSM is button 'History' in 'Selection' dialog. There you can see all edits for selected element

The whodidit-tool is my favourite to see what's going on in an area

http://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/

  1. Browse to your area
  2. Click get RSSlink
  3. Draw a box
  4. Click "RSS link" and you have a pretty feed to look at

It might be useful to filter your own user at this is usually boring to look at (put "-USERNAME" in the user-box.
