I know I shouldn't get involved here, but as an outsider (until now),
I thnk I have some neutral insight to provide.
Filipus and Frank seem to agree that the interesting question is "who
made the first bad edit". Once that is established, everything after
that is either "reverting to last good state" or "wrongfully reverting
the good revert". Ok, so where is the first bad edit? You have
different opinions on this:

First: "several", I can agree with, but "minor" is simply not true.
Just out of curiosity, what would you think is an example of "several
major modifications" to a page of this size?
Second: Even if the changes were "several minor", that would not
necessarily be ok. If the same changes could be split into several
(even more minor) distinct commits with proper explanations, they
should. I fail to see why you couldn't go this route. It would take a
slightly larger effort to begin with, but in a longer perspective, it
would definitely have saved you quite some effort.
