Training reverts:

• Edits made by anons
• Reverts made by users > 1000 edits
• Reverted in < 3 minutes
• Before vandalism and after revert, two different users to the vandal and the reversor
• Use md5 to verify reversion 100%
• Exclude reverts with the summary: good faith edits by...
• The edit is not re-inserted after being reverted: compare all md5 in the history?

Stuff to study:

• Position of the added text begining, end (be careful with templates, iws, categories, ect, a lot of anons add iws), after templates, inline section, section end, section begining
• Renaming sections [8]
• Make a ranking with top inserted words and quickly deleted [9]

Desired features:
