This way was hit by the Redaction bot, but only myself and Mbiker’s imports user touched this way.
osm.org/browse/way/41789598/history
in the potlatch editor, Mbiker’s import account worked on rev 2, and I worked on rev3 and rev4. In the way history, revs 2,3,and 4 are redacted.
What gives?

also.. way osm.org/browse/way/41789599/history was redacted?

You should post it on rebuild list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rebuild

interesting. Well, I think there may have been a bug. osm.org/browse/way/31158977/history also redacted, the list of people editing that map include mbiker’s imports and myself on that road as well.

also.. way osm.org/browse/way/50313448/history is this because it was traced from Yahoo imagery?

It sounds like someone else had edited those ways, but they had not agreed to the licence change. So their edits are redacted.
And Potlatch will not show the redacted versions in the history.

No, that’s not the case.
Some lakes I added got redacted as well. I traced those lakes from Yahoo imagery back in 2011. Are we deleting everything which was traced from Yahoo imagery?

Also, here’s another example where Wbski (accepted) traced out a track with Yahoo, then I traced some stuff with Bing, then the whole thing gets redacted.

In that example the nodes have been redacted. Presumably the track was traced by someone else previously, then Wbski split the way for some reason. So it was a ‘new’ way, but mostly using ‘old’ nodes.

Well, I can account for the changesets for the track above that segment ( osm.org/browse/way/50313444) versions 2, and 4. and the way below that segment which I drew: osm.org/browse/way/89546425
If the way was split, then the unsplit way would have been seen in either of these 2 changesets.
changesets: osm.org/browse/changeset/6656135?way_page=1 osm.org/browse/changeset/6824872
In my opinion, the way was never touched by anyone who did not accept the new terms of service.

If this way 50313444 was split from a previous way to the west, then it would account for rev 3 of this way in WBSKI’s changlog of osm.org/browse/changeset/6824872
My suspicion is that there’s a glitch in the redact bot which assumes that some nodes are ‘bad’ based on a date of edit and Yahoo and the date at which a user accepted the new license.
ie, if I didn’t accept the license until after these were traced out.

No, it certainly doesn’t do that. You can read the source if you want to check.
Awennit n z-dude di 28 July 2012 ɣef 02:19
Or the people can check that their bot is working correctly.
Awennit n chriscf di 28 July 2012 ɣef 10:40
As far as anyone knows, it was working correctly.

For way 41789598 tags were added by Scocasso who didn’t accept, so those tags have to be hidden.
For way 31158977 highway=residential was removed in v5 then added in v6.
For way 92818746 most of the nodes (e.g. osm.org/browse/node/639232838) appear to be from amai who didn’t accept, so the nodes got deleted which required changing the way.
