| ::: I don't believe that edit would be in the set. While it is an identity revert done by a trusted user (an important part of the equation), it lacks some of the heuristics consistent with vandalism (like being a rollback, a summary mentioning vandalism, or a warning to the user talk page). The set is built using hindsight heuristics described elsewhere in research. | |||

| ::: Towards the CDF graph, realize that ~40% of damage is now undone with virtually no latency by bots.

Regardless, I am aware of no longitudinal analysis in publication -- but I would speculate that my data sets are in the best position to quantify it (if I had time). ] (]) 04:51, 7 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
