→Great work on Mandela: how to revert vandalism
Great edits to Mandela; I just got back from California which is why I only saw them now; I spruced up the presentation of the references a little bit (just throwing in some templates), but I think that section is perfect so far.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 19:44, 17 December 2013 (EST)

==Reverting vandalism==
I'm not an expert, and maybe there are spiffier ways to do this, but the method I use is this: Go to the history listing. The last (top) item will list the vandalized version. The one before it (or two before it, or whatever you want to revert to; pay close attention) will be the one you want to revert to. Click on the date/time stamp for that item. It will bring up that version and say "This is an old revision" blah blah blah. Click edit. You will see big warnings that you are editing the wrong version, and that if you save from there, later edits will be lost!!! That is, of course, exactly what you want. Click save.
