I think, and someone correct me if I am wrong, the policy is if reverting a ban evaders edit, it wouldn't count as an edit war
Oh hi. Welcome to my page. Uh, I am a nice polite ND Canadian, and not a rabbit who has stolen a laptop I swear. Did you bring any carrots?

Go ahead with reverting. You can clarify for later editors that you're reverting a ban evader's changes so no one thinks you're edit warring.

Thank you, I'll clear those up.
I know more about obscure 1990s Middle Grade Literature novels than most people.
It looks like a recent editor, Peachy2023, was found to be a ban evader for another account and their edits were reverted on multiple pages they added to. However, I edited two American Girl character pages they added to to remove or correct some of these edits, thinking it was a new editor making the same mistakes: the Historical Character Page at American Girls Collection - Historical Characters and Girls of the Year page at American Girls Collection - Girls Of The Year. Does someone else need to come in and revert these edits from the evader, or can I remove the other remaining examples myself?
(edit because the name made a red link and linking the affected pages. )
