Please revert changeset #157885927

Could someone please revert the changeset Changeset: 157885927 | OpenStreetMap

I was trying to improve by correcting the street addresses of the buildings (they were wrong), which I did. However due to my inexperience I have also made something else incorrect (the buildings themselves have names which were correct and now they’re wrong).

I’ve searched the forums on how to reverset changesets and apparently you need to use JOSM. When I click it I get an error mesage:

Editing failed - make sure JOSM or Merkaartor is loaded and the remote control option is enabled

For the short term would someone please revert the above changeset? (For the long term I’ll try and figure out how to get JOSM working)

Thank you

Hi,
welcome to the forum.

JOSM and Merkaartor are offline editors. Usually you first start the app and then download data within it.

This is already an option for experienced users as you need to be aware that you are working with incomplete data and one reason that the preference option to enable Remote Control used to be only available in Expert Mode.

Thanks everybody.

For one thing I hadn’t realized that JOSM and Meerkartor are offline apps. I was just clicking on the browser. I’ll try and play with Meerkartor when time permits. Thank you.
