Yeah, all that needs to be reverted. Large changes to pages and changes to the description need to be discussed.

Existential needs a tap.

Bumping this report for a revert on Ancient Artifact and for a tap on the shoulder of Existiential_Tempest.

I notice that too. Can only mods revert this to an earlier version?

By a single click? Yes, I've done so now. Perhaps this should be discussed before going for a banhammer application, though.

^^Anyone can revert, but doing it manually can be a pain. The mods have a one-click tool that does it.

He also edited Laconic.Ancient Artifact, changing it from:

Extremely old, man-made Phlebotinum.

To:

An extremely old Artifact of Power.


Revert? 'Cause he's got other edits that haven't been reverted...

Considering that's a distinction without a difference, I say revert.

It's not uncommon for reverts to be slow when tropers are doing them manually. Especially since everyone has a life they must live. (Which includes work, school, hobbies, not strangling jerks... oh, um.) :P
