made some edits and don’t know how to revert them

1

Hello! I am absolutely terrified by the interface, made some edits and don't know how to revert them. Can someone help me? I need to undo everything by user Andrei Krbiko here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/62203891

Thanks!

Given that it is now two months after your edits and nobody seems to have "fixed" anything in the time, could you explain what is wrong with your edits?

I accidentally deleted part of the building. probably no one noticed that. it must look like it was before those edits: one main building and two galleries forming П shape (but thanks to me the main building is gone).

@andrewkq: Welcome, great that you joined us! :-) Just ask for help and remember that everybody made many mistakes in the beginning, do not worry.

Reverted the couple of node deletions in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/65968474#map=19/52.24843/21.06578 (sorry for the two left thumbs in the comment).

and to answer the question: see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Change_rollback . In short: there is no easy way AFTER uploading your edit into the database. Just ask here for a revert - or recreate the data (if it is just a bit).
