Unfortunately there's quite a few pages hit! I don't know it there's a 
way for a wiki admin to revert all changes made by a particular user in 
a given timeframe, if there is it'd be very useful, if not then we'll 
have to do it ourselves.

The easiest way I know is to look in the recent changes, and see which 
pages are edited by A2zindiajobs
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Special:Recentchanges
All these are the same, and need reverting, I've done a few but have to 
pop out, and I see others are already at it as well.
The fastest way (i've found) to get back to the previous version is to 
hit the "diff" option from the recent changes page, then "edit" above 
the good one, and then save it. I thought there was a revert-to-previous 
type offering, but perhaps I'm thinking of a different wiki.
