Here's something:

I counted the number of viewable revisions prior to 19:50, 3 June
2006.  There are 1109, which is equal to the number restored by
Musical Linguist.  If "Musical Linguist deleted the article and
restored all but one revision (or possibly a handful) to remove
personal information (I'm guess that's what PI stands for), and then
the next day Jayjg restored that revision(s) too", then the number of
revisions would be greater than 1109.

So it appears something *was* oversighted.  This doesn't say anything
about what it was, though.
