Armsel Striker page vandalised

[Rockwolf66]

Basically they removed alot of confirmed information and they added in alot of false information. All told they made lots of little edits that when added up made a good page into a very bad one. They made it seem that the Sentinal arms Striker-12 was the Cobray Street Sweeper and that any Armesl striker seen in the US was a Striker-12. So yeah I got pissed when a good page that I had worked really hard on was turned into a mass of missinformation and facts that I had carefully researched and dug up from less than the usual sources vanished.

So I just did my best to revert eveything edit by edit back to my last edit. That way I could be sure that the loser's crap was gone.

Thanks MT for the protection on the page. Hopefully the guy gets a clue.

Anyone else want to bitch about a vandal?

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 This brings up the edit screen and "WARNING: You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page.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.
