Ten types of reversion issues[edit]

Recent examples of various different issues from major pages:

  1. (me) rv United States Senate elections, 2010 Added name was a real USA Senator, pointed out to me (by reviewing admin). Should have used Template:uw-test1 instead of Template:uw-vandalism1[1], i.e. failed to assume good faith in this case, (in lieu of researching every name added to an article). (Should have been alerted by the lack of an assertion as to the Senator's preferences.) (apologised[2])
  2. … Low-volume recent changes in Image & Template namespaces ignored by RC patrollers …
  3. (rb-er) rv Law Used "HG", missed prev edit which was also vandalism ("sneaky" in that it changed a quotation, but very misspelt) and only picked up two days later (fixed). FWIW, the quote was also used on two other pages, and none had a correct reference (new ref found[3] & all three fixed[4][5][6]). Also saw a Wikipedia article as the main link in a ref (on Law, Constitutional law). (to fix…)
  4. Category:Poetry by Robert Browning … Reverted multiple changes with insufficient summary … User talk:Kevinalewis#Category reversion(left comment[7] and rv rv[8], followed by edit with one change & good summary[9])
  5. (rb-er) rv Feldspar Used "HG", … (rv good missing area with silliness) … (fixed[10])
  6. (admin) … Chuck Berry … (anon tried twice to correct quote based on ref, personal attack) … (apology, alert, apology)
  7. … various … didn't check/revert other "contributions" by same account/address … (fixed)
  8. … various … didn't notify/warn on talk page, delaying an eventual block
  9. rv Norway Could have removed offending "reference", wikified it, or improved it. (to do…)
  10. rv Norway. (Actually an edit rather than a revert, judging by the summary.) Summary praised the joke vandalism. Failed to notice the ungrammatical placement of the word whilst fixing it's misspelling. (fixed[11], but to do other fifalife checks/cleanup…)
