Here is how to avoid doing that; let's say for the same of argument I wanted to revert all your changes to that article at once. I would:

1. Click the "History" tab to get here: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title...action=history

2. Find a revision before all of your edits took place. In this example, that's my revision dated as "21:54, 12 July 2009." (If there's good edits between, use the "compare selected versions" feature first and copy the differences to notepad or something)

3. Click on that date. In this instance that takes you to http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title...s&oldid=146394

4. Click "edit." This brings up the edit screen and "WARNING: You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since this revision will be lost."

5. Click "save page." (If you had some stuff to add back in, add that first, obviously)

6. Rejoice.
