[edit] Reverting vandalism can be fun (if you're that sort of person ;-) )
I saw your note in Talk:Book, where you had noticed that someone had vandalized the Book article. Reverting a vandalized article to an earlier version is 'easy', but there _is_ a trick to it.
I found the help page by following from Help to Editing Wikipedia to Revert a page. Basically you need to get used to the 'history' function at the top of every page, and then how the 'last' and 'cur' links work on each line of that listing. And you pick the 'correct' version, edit that, update the "edit summary", and save that copy.
You could always experiment on your own user page or on your talk page. Just take care, we don't want to lose the "good stuff", so that means checking that there wasn't something good added after the vandalism. Then you have to fix it up by hand. Shenme 19:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
