Well, the thing about reverts is that you have to check to make sure a given edit was actually a revert, not a new edit. A really handy tool for this is Popups, which you can enable through the Gadgets section of your Preferences. Go to the article history page and hold your mouse over the "Prev" link of the revisions. If Person A adds something, and Person B removes it, that's a clear revert. Sometimes you'll see Person A add something, a Bot changes something else, and Person B removes what Person A did... this won't appear in the individual diff, so you need the big picture for something like that.

Of course, some edits show Person A adding something and Person B removing something else, which isn't necessarily a revert. --] 02:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
