Restorin' part of a feckin' reverted edit is a feckin' recommended practice in online collaborative writin'.

Often when an article version contains more than one disagreeable passage, it is easy to revert to a feckin' previous version. Arra' would ye listen to this shite? This gets rid of all the feckin' "mistakes" in a few seconds, but it also can eliminate "good stuff", discourage other editors, and spark an edit war.

Don't throw out the oul' baby with the bath water[edit]

If some of an edit is bad, but the oul' other half is good, please do not revert all of it. Arra' would ye listen to this shite? It's better to mine the bleedin' old version for good stuff and selectively keep it. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. Just throw out the bleedin' bad stuff.

Save my baby![edit]

If someone discarded some good stuff when revertin', please don't revert the bleedin' reversion. This can spark an edit war.

Just find some of the good stuff and put it into the oul' current version, fair play. Then do a diff and look for more good stuff. Stop the lights! Repeat as needed.
