Good page, with a nice explanation! But the "rollback" links aren't
pwefect, they sometimes rollback to a spammer version of the page. So
remmember to check that it's the correct version, after you have
reverted.

The '&bot=1' thing is also abit tedious, you have to have a link to
rollback to beable to mark a user as a bot. So and since the  if
someone already reverted all the spam you can't mark person as a bot.

What is nice about marking people as bots and using rollbacks is that
the reverts and the edits by bots doesn't  show up in the
recentchanges. I think if I was a bureaucrat I could mark people as
bots, even without rollback links.
