  No. If you take that one particular edit out of the whole context -
it would be incorrect to revert it.

  But this topic has already listed numerous problems with your
automated (or semiautomated) edits all around, ignoring local
communities etc. You have been asked to stop numerous times. You have
ignored all those and continued bulldozing. THAT is the reason for
reverting. The fact that some edits were not totally wrong does not
change anything, your edits were still useless (doable by autoscripts)
and unwanted (explicitly stated) in this situation anyway.

  I do not want to spend time and do WORK to check if your automated
NON-WORK has produced WORK for others.
