I am approached every now and then by people who would like something reverted. It is quite a dilemma for me, in most cases I don't even know the place or the people involved - so who am I to decide who is right and who is wrong? It is easy in cases where someone says "oops I made a mistake here, can someone help fixing it". But in cases where someone says that someone else is doing bad work and that someone else is not available for comment, should I really simply remove their contributions? I don't feel I have a right to - there is no law against bad edits! I really want to do the project good, but I have a feeling that reverting edits that are considered bad by a few users is probably abusing my powers as a script writer. I would do that for an area I know and where I could conceivably also fix things by hand, but for Pretoria...? What whout the others suggest? Or do if they were me? I could of course just publish the script (those with a clue can write their own anyway), but would this perhaps run the risk of giving tools to clueless people that they cannot wield properly?
