If you are not saving immediately as you are editing - for example if you're trying to make a housing estate pretty - not uploading roads one by one - then the risk for edit conflict rises.

Also - if you have been editing unfamiliar places - '43334343 Blah street has been changed' - is almost useless. You will almost certainly not remember which way that was - or what shape it was.

I suggest something like after 'download new version' - you zoom onto the area of the way (as an aside - yahoo did not appear when this happened), and say 'The way as you edited it has changed. The selected way is the way as it has been changed. The way as you edited it is flashing in octarine - it will not be uploaded when you press save. You may edit the downloaded way to better match your changes, then save.'

But with better wording.
