I cleaned up some of the coastline using Bing Maps and potlatch 2. It ws fun. Unfortunately I also deleted three untagged nodes. I later noticed the advanced info and realised that they weren’t empty! as far as I can tell there is no beginners way of fixing the problem or even reverting my changes. The change log has the nodes in question but there isn’t an easy way (for me so far) to filter out whether the node was part of a line string or not. If this were possible, my changes could be reverted, stripped of the offending deletes, and resubmit (however that’s done).

For now the mystery three points will have to go, for the sake of a smooth coastline; at least until someone else reverts my changes or is able to filter on advanced criteria!

What time were the Bing images taken?

Be careful with coastlines - unless you’re dealing with cliffs or a sea wall (where low tide and high tide will be in the same place) then you may just be replacing one lot of incorrect data with another lot of incorrect data.

The coastlines can be grossly inaccurate in some places and are often not smooth like they should be, because the PGS import (this is an import which added all coastlines worldwide) is not the best.

As for the nodes you accidentally deleted, sometimes they have a source=PGS tag or a created_by=*** tag. The source tag is not really necessary if the way (that is any line made up of nodes connected together) is tagged w/ a source=PGS tag, and the created_by= tag isn’t needed at all. I don’t know if these are the tags that were on those nodes; these are just some tags I’ve come across when cleaning up coastline in my own area.

It seems like you’ve worked out how to find your edits and see what was deleted.

JOSM is an editor that you can download, and it’s much easier to see what tags are attached to a node as it encourages you to use the “Advanced” mode to add tags, although presets(simple) can be selected from the drop down menu at the top. osm.wiki/Josm
