Not done: These revisions are quite old. The first one is pretty similar to the current revision, but your second diff is ~65 revisions old. This is too much for a revert, and it is standard policy to revert edits by already banned/blocked users. Please show what changes you want (in a X to Y format), backed up by reasons/reliable sources of why it's better. Thanks. win8x (talk) 00:39, 26 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
