Mistake in map alignment. I'm sorry, can I revert that?
Unviáu por overture el 18 August 2018 en EnglishWell, on my first day as an editor, I made some mistakes.
It’s right there on the wiki, very clearly: Imagery can be wrong. But I didn’t though of that when trying to fix this lot of roads which seemed oddly aligned with Bing imagery. I’m sorry.
I think there should be more advice about that on at least ID’s walkthrough (a link like the above one maybe). I had no idea that the map could be disaligned with the aerial image.
There’s some way to revert a changeset?

Yes:
osm.wiki/Change_rollback
You can post bad changesets numbers, so I could do it using JOSM.

I agree, there should be a health warning for the way imagery is rectified, especially because sat images provided by Bing for example have new iterations (without warning too), and fluctuating quality.

Oh, thank you. Please do, I’m not confident with using revert scripts after I read this
on osm.wiki/Revert_scripts#Act_responsibly!
The changeset numbers are:

The problem is that all of them generate some conflicts, so I’m not sure what could go wrong. I guess the best thing would be if you make manual corrections to avoid breaking things.
Reverting is OK for elements which has not been altered later - it’s produces normal changeset, but with opposite actions. If there were some other actions later, it become complicated.

Sorry for taking so long to answer.
Hm, so I can revert individual elements?

I’m not sure, I only know changeset reverter. Please ask here for example:
