 * Sorted out now. It's quite easy to do - if you want to know how let me know. Now to check out the offender who did it.... Peridon (talk) 16:39, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

That was super quick. Thanks Peridon. I sure would like to know how its done. This offender will probably attempt it again.
 * OK. You click on the History button on the top of the article. That shows you who's done things. If you click 'prev' by an edit, it will show you what was done. If it's only one edit by the account, you can click 'undo' over at the top right (ish). This will then show you how it will look when saved. If that's OK, PUT A LITTLE SUMMARY in the summary box at the bottom. If it's obvious vandalism (like this was), say so. If it's just not right but not vandalism, or if you're not sure of motive, be polite. 'Reverting good faith edit' is a good one - especially with a BRIEF reason. If there's more than one edit by the account, over to the left by the 'prev's you'll see a load of little circles. Click in the one BELOW the bottom edit that's suspect, and then on the big button 'Compare selected revisions'. Then do as before when you've got to the state you want it. A warning - don't revert more than three times in 24 hours. That's WP:3RR. If it's a dispute about content, discuss it with the other account. That's what talk pages are for. If it is clear vandalism, you can report it at WP:AIV or contact an admin. Remember that a lot of us have our own work and a particular person mightn't be around. I don't thing the offender here will be back. These were the only edits by the account. He/she's had a warning from a bot and now a level 3 from me and hasn't edited since January anyway. There was one edit made my someone to the vandalised article in good faith, but that was reverted too. Funny, actually, as they were a sockpuppet and have now been blocked (see WP:SOCK for what a sockpuppet is here). Any queries, do ask. I can't guarantee as fast a response (I'd not long come in...), but any of the regulars will be willing to help. We'll have you editing regularly too if you're not careful...

 * Forgot to say - if you do make a mistake in reverting or editing, all you need to do is 'undo' your edit. It's all still in there. Not even us admins really delete stuff. We just bury it deeper. Peridon (talk) 17:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
