If you look at someone else's contribution history (from a userpage, see the "user contributions" link at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar), you can see each change they have made; and whether or not it is still the "(top)" revision for that page. Then you can
* click on "history" next to the revision
* choose the last good revision in the history and click on its date
* edit and save that revision with no new changes (edit summary: 'rv vandalism' or 'rvv' or similar).

You can also [[OLPC:Administrators|apply to become an admin]] on the wiki, which gives you a little "revert" button next to people's contributions. :) [[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]] 12:45, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Child Friendly Mouse Modifications

First of all, the contributers section looked inappropriate. We sign things on talk pages, sure, and sometimes we point to authors of things, but... that part of that page looked like it was severely glorifying somebody who designed a mouse that might be nice.

Second of all, the problems are obvious. Just look at the picture in the PDF.

The whole page is suspect. It looks like an advertisement. Probably it should be deleted. OLPC does not exist to help some random inventor license his patent.

Do you know for a fact that OLPC is preparing the mouse for production, or that countries will be getting it for use with the laptops? If not, that's a big strong strike against the article existing at all.
