Locked items

Post by robc32ca
Someone has locked a lot of map items in my local town and they are wrong and need to be edited. How do remove the locks that someone has put in? The locks are all from the same person. One item is #60472230.

Please make sure to spend some time reading the Editing manual, link in my sig.

We need a permalink to the segment you're concerned about.

Editors will lock items which are high value and shouldn't be changed often. Sometimes, due to a bug, we are not able to reliably unlock segments.

As Alan says we cannot find segments by their ID, we need a permalink!

Keep in mind that it's not always the last editor that locked the segments. They could have been locked by a prior editor, edited again, and the last editor may not have noticed that they were locked.

OR could have been locked by the last editor...

Hello, I need to unlock the road "Carlos Valdovinos". The intersections with roads "Pacifico" and "Carmen" are not defined, and they should be.
