Undoing multiple edits

[Evil Tim]

It seems a little inefficient for a regular user to not fix the vandalism itself when they find it, though, since it's relatively easy to do. Otherwise it just means the page stays vandalised for longer, which is letting the enemy win.

Even if you fix the vandalism yourself, you still need to report it to a mod or mods so we can ban the vandal. (Even though most of the time we can see whats going on through recent changes. But sometimes if there have been a lot edits we may not.) Then we can also protect the page from anonymous users (if that's who was doing the vandalizing.) I didn't mean to say not fix the vandalism but if it's multiple edits, it's just easier to rollback. While you can do what your talking about someone may end up clicking the wrong revision etc.
