 * Reverting vandalism like you saw on the German Confederation article is quite easy. Click the article's "history tab" and find a recent ok-looking version of the article. Click the datestamp to select it. Click "Edit", fill in an edit summary like e.g. "Revert vandalism" and click "save". It is a lot easier to do than it sounds.

Speedy deletion criteria
You tagged User:BobM for deletion with, but there is no such speedy deletion criterion. I have deleted the page as (personal user pages and subpages (but not user talk pages) upon request by their user). However, I strongly recommend looking at Criteria for speedy deletion and making sure you use recognised speedy deletion criteria. If you don't then one or other of the following may happen: (1) the page may spend a long time waiting to be dealt with, because it is not listed under any recognised criterion, so that administrators reviewing the list of current speedy deletions don't look at it; (2) the speedy deletion may be declined by a user who sees that it is not a valid criterion, even though another criterion might have been valid; (3) the page is deleted, but only after an administrator has wasted time checking what the situation is, instead of being able to read it straight away.
