Rollback request
Hello, apology for a 2nd question today. To correct a blunder from a wrong link to a page, I request rollback of Oberon/ETH_Oberon/Tutorial/Applic to the original, timestamped 2022-03-06T19:02:33‎. Correctness of the change should be apparent from comparison of the page name and the content. Thanks, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 02:34, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Peter. Looking at the page history I can't see that timestamp. Do you mean you want the page deleted, as Oberon/ETH Oberon/Tutorial/Games seems already to exist? -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 08:57, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I forgot that we're not all on UTC; our time displays can differ. The faulty current page is https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/ETH_Oberon/Tutorial/Applic and I want to roll it back to the real Applications at https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Oberon/ETH_Oberon/Tutorial/Applic&oldid=4038543. If you prefer, I can undo twice.


 * To explain, I caused the problem by inadvertently duplicating a link in the table of contents. Consequently, overwrote the Applications page with the Games page.


 * Incidentally, the confusion of differing time zones would be eliminated by always showing UTC in History. Another instance of simplification appropriate to a worldwide project. Unnecessary embellishments and details cause problems rather than help. Anyways, thanks for the help, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * ah that explains it, I'm on UTC time. Yes differing time-zones do sometimes create confusion, although in my experience this is pretty rare. I've done this, but as you say all that is needed is to undo the first and then second edits. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:50, 12 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Jules, thanks for the rollback. The page history shows that undo was applied twice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting#Rollback suggests you could do the whole rollback in one click. (?) In any case, thanks for restoring the correct content. I've set my time preference to UTC. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 16:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
